SUPERGIRL

Supergirl has been mentioned for the line as far back as the original pitch to Kenner to grab the license, when a mock-up of her was made using one of the "Glamour Gals" figures. Sadly, she never made it into the line, although she even appeared on a mock-up of art for a shelf display. Many Supergirl's would later be made, but this one would have had special significance, being released a year after she "died" in the comics, during the "Crisis on Infinite Earths" mini-series. Go check out her history here.

Strangely, the costume used for this concept art was already out of date at the time of this presentation. Supergirl had been wearing an updated "Jazzercise" outfit for the bulk of the 80s, but Kenner took all of their poses and reference from the outdated 1982 DC Style Guide.Who knows if this would have been fixed by the time she was sculpted. Go see all her wacky costume choices!

The custom below was made by Matt "Iron-Cow" Cauley.
