Comic book artist Frank Cho has earned a reputation for his cheesecake cover art and stunning linework. Now DC Collectibles has brought Frank Cho’s unique style to their Cover Girl series with this stunning new Batgirl statue, which we just couldn’t resist picking up. The end result is a figure that captures Cho’s tongue-in-cheek style perfectly and is a solid addition to any fan of Batgirl and the Bat Family.
THE SPECS
Designed by Cho, with sculpting by longtime DC Collectibles artist Jonathan Matthews, this particular Batgirl statue is a decent size and is surprisingly sturdy despite the potential for it to suffer damage (particularly with the extension of the Bat pulling at her cape). The pose in particular is fantastic and really does capture the tongue-in-cheeck style that Cho is known for and which fits with the other Cover Girl statues in this particular lineup. The paint work on this is also magnificent and they’ve done a fantastic job with the gloss on her utility belt, gloves and boots. For such a small figure, it’s surprisingly detailed, and brings to mind the hyperrealistic style of a Hot Toys figure. Our only complaint is that at 9″ it’s a little shorter than some other statues from DC Collectibles, but that’s a minor quibble.

WHAT IT COMES WITH
This particular Batgirl statue is pretty much ready right out of the box, and like most DC Collectibles doesn’t really come with any extra bells and whistles. The box, however, is pretty well branded and the interior packaging is sturdy and definitely held up during the shipping process.
THE PRICE
The DC’s Cover Girls line up has a pretty solid price point in general, and this Frank Cho Batgirl statue is no exception. It’s definitely not going to cost you an arm and leg and is perfect for first-time collectors or anyone looking to snag a new figure at a reasonable price. The popularity of both Frank Cho and Batgirl also means it’s likely to retain and grow its value on the secondary market if you ever do decide to flip it.
OUR RATING
With stunning paintwork, old school costume and classic Frank Cho style, this DC Cover Girls Batgirl statue is honestly a must-have for anyone looking to expand their Bat Family figure collection. With only 5,000 of these statues available, you’ll definitely want to pick one up if they’re still available.
