Along with the Poison Ivy Barbie there is also a new Batgirl Barbie, or rather the costume is new. Instead of the sparkly purplish outfit the newer Batgirl comes with a solid black outfit (with yellow bat 'course). A real improvement IMO. I saw several at Wal Mart today so I can vouch for their existence. I believe I found a pic of one on ebay, hard to tell though. They are out there folks. cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=48926&item=5549167647&rd=1

I picked one up a few weeks ago , when i got Poison Ivy. Her eye make up and lipstick was also changed. This new one is better looking than the original.

[shadow=red,left,300]The black outfit is a definate improvement. Now if they could just fix those ears on the cowl. ;D[/shadow]

Just wondering here...What would make Mattel go with those stupid looking ears in the first place? Why couldn't they have just done it right the first time?

Looks like I need to get the new version along with Poison Ivy. I have been fortunate enough to find the other Super Heroine Barbies at retail and hopefully will find these 2 as well. The new colors do look better.

Local WalMart had about 6 each of this new blacksuited Batgirl and Poison Ivy. Personally Ilike the purple sparkle suit better ...reminds me of Yvonne DeCarlo....

I had some errands to run by my local Target store so I popped in. They had both the new Batgirl and Poison Ivy. I snapped up both for $15.99 a piece.

[shadow=navy,left,300]I havent seen her around Target or Walmart [/shadow] Yvonne Decarlo is about 83 now so you might have seen her and didn't realize it or recognize her.

Yeah, Blocko I know...I was shoveling snow this afternoon and it occurred to me that I had mixed them up. I rushed to type my self correction before anyone caught it. Should have known I'd be busted It's actually not the first time I screwed that up. Last was in a barroom trivia contest, I was humiliated as my team considered me the Bat-Expert! Believe me, I'm old enough to know better too.
