Nano Metal Fig Supergirl

Sometimes you get lucky.

The other night I was asked to drive two of the supergirls at home to Target so they could get some cosmetics and toiletries in anticipation of an upcoming dance. It was clear that I was to be chauffeur and purchaser during this visit. My opinion on make-up was not needed.

As we entered, I asked what the heck was I going to do while they were shopping. In a perfect response, one said 'go to the toy department.' My children know me very well.

And while wandering the aisles, I came across this mini-figure. A Supergirl diecast metal figurine from the Nano Metalfigs line.

I had no idea such a thing existed. 

But perhaps it was destiny that had me in that Target.

The first thing that caught my eye about this was the very dynamic pose Supergirl is in. Arms out, one leg up, cape billowing. She looks ready to spring into action.

The second thing was that this was the New 52 costume, already a bit in the rear view mirror. I don't know when these figures were solicited but I don't know if any new New 52 Supergirl merchandise will be made. I am almost glad the knee holes were mistakenly painted red. Looks better that way.

This is a small figure, maybe 1.5 inches high. But I like the action it conveys.

This is a big cape with appropriate folds and wrinkles on the back.

I am always happy when I see a complete sculpt, front and back.

You get a sense of how small this is in the group shot of all the New 52 figures and statues I have.

Obviously I bought it with the pile of other stuff I got that night. A small reward for myself and a nice, truly little addition to the shrine.
