In fact… she’s pretty damn close to the bottom. I know she has a ton of fans but the boob window is just not for me. As such, I was way more excited about the DC Bishoujo releases like Harley Quinn (<a href="http://www.plastikitty.com/home/plastikitty-review-kotobukiyas-dc-bishoujo-harley-quinn" target="_blank">review</a>) and Poison Ivy (<a href="http://www.plastikitty.com/home/plastikitty-review-kotobukiyas-dc-bishoujo-poison-ivy" target="_blank">review</a>).</p> <p>But then, they showed off her sculpt and I <a href="http://www.plastikitty.com/home/sdcc-2012-kotobukiyas-dc-bishoujo-power-girl-gallery" target="_blank">got to look at her in person</a>. Damn! Even my Power Girl hating side couldn’t resist her beauty. And of course, I need her to go with <a href="http://www.plastikitty.com/home/kotobukiyas-dc-comics-bishoujo-huntress" target="_blank">Huntress</a>.

Way back at Toy Fair we got word of Power Girl joining the DC Bishoujo line by Kotobukiya along with some rough sketch artwork for her. About a month later we got her finalized art and now, in June, we have the first images of her sculpt and boy does she look great! Her face is spot on to Shunya’s artwork, something many other figures in the Marvel and DC lines struggled with, and I’m really glad with how she turned out. I love her flowing cape and there’s the usual level of detail in the rest of her outfit so she doesn’t look out of place with the rest of the gals.
I also really like how her hair turned out and I’m glad her “assets” aren’t as in-your-face as they were in the comics; she’s fairly toned down here and looks much more powerful than a piece of eye-candy. Power Girl will be 1/7th scale like the rest of the DC Bishoujo line and will be available in November and most likely we’ll see more of her around San Diego Comic Con time next month!
