Kara Zor-L A/K/A Power Girl is one of a handful of survivors from the past DC Universe and cousin to that universes' (multi-verses' ?) Earth 2 Superman, Kal-L (our current Superman is Kal-El). That makes her quite an interesting character in that she's essentially Supergirl... but she's not. While her powers have changed from time to time she basically has the Super-family powers you'd expect.
For Kids:
This figure is pretty nice, and well articulated so perfect for play. Now female figures are not too popular with little boys and little girls typically don't go for action figures but if you have a kid familiar with the character they'd probably have fun with this.
For Adults:
The DC Universe Classics line has broken a long time trend for female figures in this vein in that they are not butt ugly (a common problem with Marvel Legends both Toy Biz and Hasbro - just look at the White Queen figure *shiver*). Power Girl has a very pleasant face sculpted with soft lines and an almost mischievous look to her expression. There's a lot of detail in her short hair as well. Her arms and legs are the typical with hands in a fisted pose. There's a good amount of detail in her boots and she wears a short cape that appears to blow slightly in the breeze. And the part the guys have all be waiting for... Yes, her chest is sculpted appropriately voluptuous, BUT, it is not overdone. I think they did a great job of being true to the character's look without being silly about it.
Paint is clean and neat for the most part. The skin tones look good and she even has a small amount of blush to her cheeks. Her hair is blonde with a little black in there to bring out the details. Her white outfit is clean as are her blue boots and gloves. I did see some in the store with chips on the face or costume and there is one small dot on my otherwise flawless costume so I'd watch out if you buy in person but overall the paint is above average for a mass market toy.
There are lots of good articulation points. The head appears as if it may be a ball type joint but I can only get mine to turn side to side and don't want to push it as the pin seems thin. Other joints are: ball shoulders, pin elbows and cut (rotate-able) wrists, a rocking joint in the torso and cut waist, ball hips, cut thighs, pin knees, cut shins (well at the top of the boots) and pin ankles. If I'm counting right that's 19 joints. I'm a big articulation buff but I will say in this case that they could loose the cut thigh joint. They do not add much since the shins rotate too and are the only joints that really are obtrusive to the sculpt.
No accessories other than one leg of Imperiex. To be fair she doesn't use any weapons or anything so I'm not sure what could have been included.
So a great figure, fine for play if your kid is interested, but with enough quality that it's great for collectors as well. The thigh cuts don't add much and hurt the look a bit and if you can you need to watch the paint to be sure you get the cleanest one but I'd give her 4 ½. So to acknowledge there was *slight* room for improvement I'll rate a 4.
Imperiex is a pretty cool collect and connect (CC) figure. His is black and red armor and cape with lots of gold highlights and every surface is sculpted. It's really colorful while being imposing at the same time. His face is skeletal with exposed teeth and menacing red eyes in taught wrinkled skin. But he has two issues. One, his head pops into the neck on a really long peg that just drops down into his body so his head just kind of floats, what I mean is there is no tightness to the joint at all so it's like a bobble head if you move him around. A really weird choice - he looks fine standing still but you have to finagle the head around to get it just right. Second is his size. You see Imperiex is supposed to be a planetary threat and huge in size but you wouldn't know it from this nine inch figure. Yeah, I know the days of Galactus and Sentinel 14 to 16 inch figures are behind us (for now) but this guy looks like maybe some Fourth World warrior or something not the living embodiment of entropy. Even with all that he's still a four star figure though if only for the amount of detail they packed into him. -- One Powerful Girl
