For long time fans you may have seen my previous posts exploring my Supergirl merch collection that I’ve shown off in 2 looks at my Supergirl trading cards (Part 1 and Part 2) and one where I explored my Supergirl figures. I had initially planned on waiting until the end of the year to show off an updated look at my collection and make it an annual tradition. That was until I was looking at my collection and realized just how much new stuff I’ve added recently. It has been a rather good year for Supergirl merch with the movie coming out, however I’ve also gotten my hands on some older items as well bought second hand. From what I can figure I’ve got about a dozen new figures and a handful of new cards to cover as well as a few other items that I keep on my Supergirl shelf that I haven’t covered before so stick around. The image above is the current line up of my Supergirl shelf and if you see anything that I don’t cover here definitely check out my earlier posts.
I’ll start with the most recent additions to my collection that really pushed me over the edge to bump this post up to October instead of December. I had some friends that went to a convention a couple weeks ago and they kept me posted on anything I might enjoy and graciously picked them up for me. The big get for me was the newly released Supergirl Super Powers figure. I do not actively collect the Super Powers figures and this is only my second in the line (I also have a Nightwing Super Powers) but when the Supergirl toy was announced I knew I wanted to get it. Unfortunately it was only released as a 6 pack with 5 other characters I didn’t care about so I didn’t pre-order it. I am happy to have finally gotten it though (and for a not unreasonable price). The Supergirl wave also included a Power Girl figure that I may try to track down at some point, and there’s a second Nightwing figure I’d also like to get but looking at the whole line, that’s about all I would care about.
The other addition from that convention was a Supergirl LEGO Minifigure. This is not an official LEGO product and I generally stay away from bootleg LEGO products on personal principle but this figure based on her look in the Supergirl (2026) movie looked pretty good and seemed like a good addition to the rest of my movie related merch. This particular custom was made by Awesome Minis (Here’s their Facebook page) and they seem to do some pretty good work so definitely check them out. Also they threw in a Krypto figure as well so that was nice of them.
Along with the custom minifigure, I got a few other items specific to the movie including these 2 figures from McFarlane. McFarlane did a full line of toys based on the film but these 2 figures were the only ones I was particularly into. I think the line had a total of 3 Supergirl figures, one standard and 2 deluxe. The standard figure was pretty similar to the first deluxe figure but the deluxe one came with a sword and I wanted the sword. I’m not positive if the second deluxe figure (with the coat) came as a later part of the wave or if I just didn’t see it until later. The coat is a really cool piece though, I’m generally not that into cloth capes, and I didn’t care for the coat in the movie, but cloth coat on an action figure is something really exciting for me it turns out. Also all the parts for these two figures are interchangeable so I’ve swapped parts around to give me two figures that I’m really happy about. Each figure also came with a Krypto, one in puppy form and one in big guy form. I’ve also got the cards for each figure shown above. I probably won’t pick up any of the other figures in the line because I don’t really care to have a Lobo or Krem figure and McFarlane didn’t think to give Ruthye (the other main character behind Supergirl) a figure.
We weren’t totally out of luck on the Ruthye front, KFC had us covered. KFC for the months of June and July (I think) had a Supergirl meal that came with keychains based on the movie. I think there were 5 in the line; Supergirl, Supergirl in coat, Krypto, Lobo, and Ruthye. Ruthye was the main figure I wanted to pick up and it was the first figure I picked up (and also the second). I’m not thrilled that I got a duplicate, but if I were to get any duplicates I’m happy it was Ruthye. I wish I would’ve gotten the standard Supergirl instead of the coat variant, but Ruthye and Supergirl were the main draws for me so I’m not upset.
A couple items to close out the movie section of this post, I’ve got the cup topper that came with my Supergirl cup from my first viewing of the film (shown off in full alongside my initial thoughts on the movie post). I’ve also got a ticket stub from one of my viewings, I think this one is from the third viewing I went to seeing as the first 2 times I went they didn’t give me a ticket. I’ve also got a Woman of Tomorrow bookmark that I picked up at my comic shop at some point, probably around Superman Day because the back has the same advertisement of all the different ways you can buy the comic that the Superman day release had. I have not yet picked up a copy of the movie on Blu-ray yet but I do plan on getting it soon and it will find a home somewhere on the shelf once I get it.
The last item that’s newly released merch is this charm keychain sort of thing. There was a series of dolls and such based on DC characters and it felt in some ways a tie in to the Supergirl movie since she was prominently featured in this line from Jakks Pacific. While I was excited to see Supergirl included in a line advertised towards young girls, it was the inclusion of Streaky as a charm that really pushed me to pick this up. Because of the Woman of Tomorrow comic, it seems more and more that Krypto has become seen as Supergirl’s pet and Streaky has been pushed to the side. All that being said, Krypto also shows up here in purse form, along with a DC bullet logo charm, and what seems to be a sunstone or fortress crystal. I may be looking into it a bit, but it sorta feels like the Supergirl design has some inspiration from the G1 DC Super Hero Girls costume with the short sleeves and collar on the shirt.
Next let’s take a look at quick look at all the new card additions to the shelf thanks mostly in part to finding a bunch of VS System cards a couple months back. Of the 7 new VS Systems cards I’ve added, there are 2 new Kara Zor-El Supergirl cards – one by Mike Mayhew ddrawing the traditional blue costume and one by Diego Latorre presenting her Apokolips outfit that debuted in Superman/Batman Apocalypse. You may be surprised to see Brainiac 12 included here, but if you look real close at Travis Kotzebue’s art, you will see Cir-El makes another appearance. I also put two Plot Twist cards here, one that prominently features the girl of steel, and one showcasing the Legion of Super-Pets. I’ve also put Mary Marvel and Andromeda on the shelf in honorary Supergirl positions. Also this last card is part of the Overpower card game that I covered a bit in Trading Cards Part 2. I actually had this card in the collection when I made that last post, but this card didn’t make it into the post.
Speaking of items I’ve had in my collection but not on the shelf, we’ve got this large scale Supergirl doll from the DC Super Hero Girls line. This was part of the initial SHG line of toys and I picked it up probably around 2016 or 2017 but it’s been stuffed in a box for a while now. I cleaned her up, brushed her hair, and got her a place on the shelf. The costume here is a bit weird, I’m not exactly certain what it’s going for but I always like having more SHG representation.
These next 2 figures were both picked up for me by my husband at his job working at a secondhand book and music store. The first is from a line called DC Minis and while I don’t love the baby doll proportions of the figure since it makes it really hard to balance her, it’s nice to see a non-white Supergirl and I can only assume it’s at least somewhat based on Sasha Calle’s version of the character. The other one, which has a sort of boxy quality to it, is another Wendy’s toy (we saw another Wendy’s toy in my initial coverage of my Supergirl figures). It doesn’t really do anything but it’s cute.
These next few figures don’t really have anything in common but didn’t fit anywhere else. First is a Crisis on Infinite Earths era 4 inch figure from the Infinite Crisis line. It fits nicely alongside the larger CoIE Supergirl figure I have and the die-cast figure since they all match. I also picked up another figure based on the Superman animated series. This one is bendy and I don’t love it, but I did get it for like $2 so I can’t complain too much. This last one is really exciting though, a figure based on the Elseworld’s Finest: Supergirl and Batgirl. I really enjoy this Elseworlds comic and it will be covered later in November for my Supergirl in the Multiverse series.
With the addition of the Awesome Mini’s Supergirl movie mini-figure, I decided to move all my Supergirl LEGO mini-figures into the rest of my Supergirl collection. I’ve got the classic figure next to the rest of my CoIE Supergirls, and the Super Hero Girls LEGOs with my SHGs and the movie figure with the rest of my Supergirl Movie stuff. I also put a cape on an orange LEGO cat for Streaky representation alongside the LEGO Kryptos I have. I am also planning to get a LEGO Comet put together for the shelf but I don’t quite have everything I need for it. But with that, I have covered all the new additions to my Supergirl shelf, I hope you enjoyed!
