The latest release in DC Direct’s Women of the DC Universe bust collection is the “lovely” Supergirl, breaking through chains and ready to kick some arse. Supergirl measures 5.5″ tall and is limited to 3,500 pieces. Here’s the thing. I love Amanda Conner’s work and style. Absolutely love it. Jack Mathews has done some of DC Direct’s best sculpting (look at any of the Cover Girls of the DCU statues for proof). And Supergirl…well, she’s always been a favorite of mine. But I can say without reservation that this statue is the worst of the 30+ busts released for the WOTDCU line so far. Amanda Conner’s artwork is almost literally exploding with Supergirl’s power, but the final sculpt looks like an anorexic wearing a Farrah Fawcett wig. Sorry DC Direct…but this is one of the most disappointing purchases in recent memory.
