Today’s post will be rather casual, not looking too in depth at any story or anything in specific an more just a trip through my collection of Supergirl figures. As you can see from the picture above, I’ve amassed quite a few over the years. I’ll try to go mostly left to right on these figures and I’ll try to mention where and when I got each item (if I can remember). If you’ve been following, you might notice some overlap from when I covered my Supergirl Trading Cards since many of them came paired with a figure of some sort. Also this post will not include my Supergirl LEGO figures since I already covered those in my LEGO Supergirl post. Also please disregard the Nightwing figure collection creeping in on the right side this isn’t about him either.
Starting off with a Supergirl based on her appearance in Superman the Animated Series. I did find this figure boxed (I have since unboxed it along with any other toy I get boxed) where you can see it was part of the Justice League Unlimited line and it looks like it’s from 2005. I got this fairly recently and I think it was from a place in Owensboro, KY called the Consumer Mall. Nothing too special about this figure and all in all she isn’t overly exciting with only 5 points of articulation and a metal purse, but I have been wanting a Animated Series style Supergirl figure for a while and this was a nice looking one. It is weird that it’s under the banner of “Justice League Unlimited” while not using her costume from that show, but presumably this is before she showed up in Unlimited.
Next up is a tiny die-cast figure of the New 52 era Supergirl. I’m not positive, but I’m pretty sure I picked this up at a Half Price Books store for like a dollar. I really like these figures, they’re small and have a nice weight to them, I’ve got another die-cast figure coming up soon. I’m not really sure when this figure was released or if there are more like it. I feel like I’ve seen packs of like 20 similar dicast figures before at like Wal-Mart or Target so perhaps she came bundled in one of those before making her way to me. The paint seems really nice on it too and the red has a metallic sheen to it.
Another 4″ figure like the Justice League Unlimited figure is up next. This one is also from the early 200s although now part of the “DC Universe Infinite Heroes” line that I believe was supposed to tie into and promote the Infinite Crisis event. This figure pretty accurately depicts Supergirl as she’s seen in the comics at the time with her blue skirt and blue crop top. The hair and face sculpt feel a bit weird though but it was a pretty small figure so I’m sure there just wasn’t a lot of room to work. I found this loose in a peddlers mall or some other sort of flea market or second hand shop and it was loose in a baggie. While I didn’t find it new, when it did come out it seems to have been in a 3-pack along with Wonder Girl and Bizarro.
What is perhaps the smallest figure in my collection, the Funko Pop mini that came paired with a Kinder Joy. This promotion was sometime last year I believe and I am ashamed at just how many Kinder Joys I bought just to get the Supergirl. I opened up many and there were quite a few Harley Quinns (4 I think) that always gave me a bit of false hope when I saw the blonde hair. Somehow I did manage to get Supergirl though and I think she’s a perfectly fine addition to my collection. I’m not particularly fond of the Funko Pop look and I don’t have any others aside from this one and I probably wouldn’t have bothered if they weren’t cheap. I think this figure is also meant to be a phone stand with Supergirl posed like she’s holding up your phone, but I haven’t used her like that so I can’t confirm.
The aforementioned other die-cast figure is this ERTL figure from 1990. I talked about it briefly in my Trading Card post. She is sporting her 80s look with the headband. I picked this up on a sale day at my local comic shop, The Destination. Once again we have a nice weighty figure that sits nice on a shelf and seems to be in great shape for being over 30 years old.
One of my 2 Sasha Calle Supergirl figures. This one was purchased on clearance I believe, well after the Flash movie’s release. I did buy it new, she came with heat vision attachments and a piece of Kryptonite. This paired with a cloth cape and a decent amount of points of articulation (9 I think) makes it a really solid deal for what I think was only a $8 retail price. I’m not particularly fond of the heat vision or the Kryptonite accessories so neither are out with my figure, but I do still think it adds to the play value and makes for a great deal.
This figure is another New 52 Supergirl figure that I don’t really know anything about and I may have also gotten in from some sort of grab bag for very cheap. This one is all plastic though and kind of looks like it may be from Imaginext but I’m not positive. The paint on it has shown some serious wear so hopefully she had plenty of play time before joining the ranks of my Supergirl shelf.
I’m detouring slightly from my left to right to finish out all the small figures before going into my 6 and 7 inch figures. This little blue Supergirl was bought at a pawn shop across the street from my job that my coworker showed me. The pawn shop didn’t have much in the way of Superhero stuff but I of course zeroed in on this item which was a box that came with a Wendy’s kids meal. This toy also came with a Superman and a Lex Luthor along with character cards of all three and I do plan to cover the Supergirl card when I do another Supergirl Trading Card post.
The last of my little Supergirls is this Imaginext figure I picked up in Metropolis. For those unaware, there is a small town in Illinois called Metropolis that was turned into a Superman tourist spot a few decades ago and I made my way out there last month and checked out the Superman Museum there and found this figure (and a few other things) at the gift shop attached to the museum. I’ve been wanting to get an Imaginex Supergirl for a while since DC seems to have a pretty expansive partnership with them. Before now I had only seen Imaginext Supergirl figures in large playsets or used along with dozens of other figures in a collection. This figure however was packaged by itself and it has some sort of light up feature when paired with some Imaginext playsets which could be cool to check out if I ever end up getting one of big playsets.
This figure and the next one are probably the 2 I’ve had the longest. This is a Supergirl figure from the first wave of DC Super Hero Girls that I bought new in probably 2016 if I had to guess. I really liked that in the gen-1 era of Super Hero Girls how thorough they pushed toys and to such a wide demographic. There were action figures like this, and there were also dolls, and a series of LEGO sets (learn about those here). I think it was a great way to get these heroes into the minds of so many young people.
I will always have a soft spot for the CBS/CW Supergirl show and Melissa Benoist’s performance, so picking up this figure was a no-brainer. Like I said, I also bought this figure new and this was the first time I was able to get a complete series of figures to get the build-a-figure of Doomsday. This series also had a few characters from Dark Knight Returns that also interested me so getting those and Supergirl got me to 4 out of 6 so picking up Superman Doomed and BvS Lex Luthor wasn’t too much to ask at that point. I’ve since gotten rid of some of those figures but I still have Supergirl, Carrie Kelley Robin, and the Doomsday build-a-figure.
Another Super Hero Girls Supergirl, this one is more doll like than action figure since she’s got the brushable hair. Looks like this one is also from 2016 and was one of the “girl toy” options for McDonalds Happy Meal toys alongside some Justice League Action toys for the boys. I did not however get this one new, instead a friend found it for me and she mentioned she bought it for “an inconsequential amount” of money if I recall correctly so cheap figures seems to be a bit of a theme.
This figure was part of the Crisis on Infinite Earths line from 2005. I bought it from a comic shop in Lexington called A+ Comics. I will say that the legs feel fairly unsubstantial and she doesn’t stand up very well on her own, but thankfully the figure comes with a really nice looking Crisis on Infinite Earths logo stand.
This next figure was bought on the same day at the Crisis one at a different store called Toy Headquarters. I think I was in the middle of reading through the New 52 Supergirl run when I picked it up so it was good timing finding it. In the past decade since the costume first showed up, I’ve come to enjoy it a bit and there’s a few elements I really enjoy especially the cape, although it really could use a skirt or something. This figure however does bear a bit of an unfortunate resemblance to Allison Mack.
These next two I’d like to discuss together since they are very obviously the same mold with different colors. I think I purchased both individually and the joints on the black and red version are very worn down. The figure came out in 2006 and it seems like the black variant was just that, a variant, possibly a chase figure but I’m not positive. These figures were also paired with a comic when they came out, specifically Supergirl (Vol. 4) #5 which I covered as my first Supergirl Surprise. Oddly however the costume Supergirl is wearing for the figure is a costume she didn’t start wearing until issue #51 so it’s odd that issue #5 is paired with it.
Here is my second of two Sasha Calle Supergirl figures. This one I’m pretty sure I bought at retail price and most likely before I even saw Flash. I do really like her look as Supergirl and I thought she did great in the movie. There is also a doll figure from Barbie I think that I would also like to pick up for the collection. I also like that this figure was paired with a stand so you could display her flying which I’ve consistently used since picking her up.
I don’t have too much to say about this DCeased Supergirl figure, but it was released by DC Direct and its a really nice figure. I’m not particularly fond of zombies or zombie stories but I really enjoy the DCeased series of stories by Tom Taylor.
Injustice is a fighting game series that I’ve not played much of because I’m not particularly good at fighting games and I don’t think I would enjoy it much. I do however really enjoy the tie-in comics for the games (also partially written by Tom Taylor). Supergirl doesn’t show up in the franchise until the second game and she has a killer design, I like the sleeveless look, the boots, the S, the gold bands on her thighs, it’s honestly just a great design. This figure also came with a comic like the one from earlier. This comic however seems to be an original story which I might cover as a blog post at some point so stay tuned.
Last up is this absolute mystery of a stuffed toy. It’s an odd little orb shaped stuffed Supergirl with a Hallmark tag on it. I have no idea how long I’ve had it nor where it came from but I think someone gave it to me and I’ve kept it on my shelf with the rest for what feels like years at this point.
I hope you enjoyed a look through my Supergirl figures, and if you did let me know which was your favorite! If I get many more I’ll definitely do an updated list. I have gotten quite a few more Supergirl cards added to my collection so if you read my original Supergirl Trading Card post and enjoyed it be on the lookout for a part 2 coming soon!
