Introducing Batgirl!

The other night I hit the local Sears, thinking it would be a hotbed of sale merchandise, since they're merging with Hideous Corporate Giant, Kmart. Well, it wasn't. But I did find something that I've been looking for half my life: the Batgirl(TM) Barbie Doll. I can't tell you how many times I've trawled Ebay, wishing someone made an affordable Batgirl doll, and cursing Mego for their high collector's prices. It's hard, too, to find a Batgirl not modeled on the awful Alicia Silverstone role that turned Batgirl from a fiery, sharp redhead to a tepid, whiny blonde (not that there's anything wrong with blondes, I'm just a traditionalist. And a hater of Alicia Silverstone [scroll down for crap photo]. Except in Clueless, where whining was kind of the point).

And she was on sale.

You can buy one here. But I can tell you she's a mere $12.97 at Sears. The one in Upper Darby, anyway.

She also comes with a Batcycle (sweeet!). I totally want that. Wow, I am really a nerd.
