Countdown 2008: Power Girl

2008 Countdown - ie., Top 10 Figures of '08.
Sure, it's '09, but what am I, a calender?

DC Direct Power Girl: As of 2009, still yet to find a convincing front as to why this JSA frontlady's front is so unmissable.

Kinda debases this saucy, sassy, brazen, fundament-smiting gentlewoman a snatch.
Modelling infinite crisis-y togs, curiously missing the characteristic seam down the middle of the spandex which is dissimilar to the prototype. The boots are well done compared to some of the other 13" ladies.

2008 Countdown: Catwoman

2008 Countdown - ie., Top 10 Figures of '08.
Sure, it's '09, but what am I, a calender?

DC Direct Catwoman: The first female figure of DC's 13" Line. The best one, I think: Character specific hands, leather lace up boots, goggles, whip, swag bag, cat, diamond, carabiner...list goes on. Still needs a Catillac though.

2008 Countdown: Batgirl

DC Direct Batgirl: Solid. All things considered, a solid edition to the 13" DC line-up. Nice costume and sturdy underlying body. Yellow vinyl and light grey costuming - this glamour girl'll sass-talk your behind all the way to jail and then take off in the middle of the day on her bat-cycle. Cool.

2008 Countdown: Jinx Johnson

Halle Berry as Jinx Johnson: Negating all Sideshow's idiosyncrasies, this figure stands out for me for the costume design, Halle, 007, and the quality fabric used. That silver Beretta is pure fashion accessory.

2008 Countdown: Black Suited Spider-man

Medicom Black Suited Spider-man: What a great figure. The suit is stretchy and hard wearing. Medicom's body, when it works so well on a design such as this, is my personal favourite.
Highly worth checking out is Shaun's Evaluation of the Medicom body (among others).
