This gorgeous Supergirl doll from Barbie Collector is from their Fall 2008 line featuring Batgirl, Black Canary, and Wonder Woman. These “Silver Label” dolls are intended for the mid-range collector, being priced at 40.00 USD and featuring a higher quality than the Mattel DC dolls, including Supergirl, that were released to the mass market in 2003.
My favourites in this line are definitely Supergirl and Batgirl. I normally don’t go for figures of the modern costume, but this is just such a nice figure that I think I would pick it up if I saw it in a store.
The quality of this doll looks very nice in the images I’ve seen of the actual doll out of the box. I love that the costume is both accurate to comics (apart from the high heels) and an attractive rendition of the modern uniform. The hair is gorgeous. It’s also far more affordable than the high-end Tonner DC Stars dolls which start at $125 USD.
To get a better view of the doll, including a back view that shows how the cape joins up, check out this review at The Clearance Bin.

If they are affordable I am SO BUYING THEM! :D
They all look so great (except for the stilettos on all of them :( ) :D
And heroic! Which is important! :D But clearly Barbie’s market is girls so it’s important that they look heroic :D
i love the Supergirl and esp. Black Canary Barbies. 0.0
