Description
Cassandra Cain's Batgirl in the comics. This Reading Order1 list is a good place to start.
She also appears in one page of Detective Comics (1937-) #738, Goin' Downtown Part 2, along with this version of Batman and Robin, where they're fighting Bane.
She appears in other series as well, like with Batman, Nightwing, Robin, and Azrael in Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight #120.
And also starring in the Azrael: Agent of the Bat series. But I'm mainly going for the early run of the Batgirl (2000-2006) series.
Most of the heavy lifting for this custom was done by Vault Custom with their Detective Girl Cass kit with head sculpt, emblem, belt, and gauntlets. This is their reference image. Mine is painted by them, since I like showcasing the original artist's work when possible, but you can also buy unpainted and paint it yourself. This is their figure reference image, though I chose to upgrade the body and go with a completely custom cape that matches the comics.
I've posted this figure to my Instagram as well here9 and here10, and a post about the body upgrade here11.

Tivan the Collector on Instagram: "I think Mezco makes some of the best proportioned 1/12 female action figure bodies in terms of style. But their old female body used for Catwoman, Harley Quinn, Wonder Woman, and others has very limited articulation.
The newer body they use for Ghost Spider, Power Rangers, and Tangerine though has amazing articulation! So, it's time to update some older figures and see what they can do.
Don't mind the bionic arms of the Ghost Spider body, that'll be an entirely different video.
