Alright, let's take a closer look at the new McFarlane Toys! Batgirl.
First off the design is "inspired" by Batgirl Vol. 2 #1's cover by Jim Calafiore not really Batgirls (as it is listed on the box). Since well Cass's Batgirls design is just different all around.
The figure is just a remold of the original McFarlane Toys Batgirl (Wave 1 "Rebirth"). The only new parts are the head, fabric cape, and the painted bat symbol chest.
So this Cass is gonna be crazy tall I believe.
Interestingly, the bio is all about her old origin with David Cain getting snubbed in favor of Lady Shiva (though why they don't call her Sandra Woosan but only mention her last name on the bio?) 🤨
Her adoption is listed here.
Curiously zero mention of Black Bat or Orphan, or leaving the mantle in '09.
So is her "HEEL" arc. 😑
The package says Batgirls, but 0 Batgirls are named save Cass. We'll probably get a Batgirls two-pack with Steph and Cass (repainted).
Amusingly most of all the figure will ship end of April and will be out in early May. Meaning McFarlane Toys gets this figure out for the character's 25th anniversary.
Final verdict?
McFarlane Toys takes the worst Batgirl design Babs got since 2011 and makes it better. It signals a rush job, but hey first female Bat to get a fabric wire cape?
My gut tells me we're gonna get a Batgirls two-pack. You don't just mention Batgirls and not lay the groundwork for Steph. I'm just surprised the reused mold was the "Rebirth" one and not "3 Jokers" Batgirl.

Cassandra Cain Action Figures as of 2024
So you want some Cassandra Cain action figures? There are currently six in existence (two from DC Direct, one by Mattel, and three now by McFarlane Toys), all of Cass in her Batgirl persona.
Here's an updated list of the most expensive Cass figures and the easier ones to attain.
Cass appeared in the final "DC Superheroes" wave by Mattel (it was changed to the "DC Universe" line shortly thereafter).
The figure used to be the most expensive Cass figure. Nowadays? You can get this for $80 in pack complete.
Loose with its lone accessory? I've seen it go for less than $45 to 50.
The first from DC Direct is from their "First Appearance" line and features a Damion Scott-inspired Batgirl. It also comes with a mini-comic of her first appearance.
$20 loose (figure and the two accessories minus comic) to $80 in pack complete is the current asking price.
The batarang accessory this Cass can barely hold. Plus being early DC Direct the plastic has some warped bat ears and bat fins. The "hair dryer" or "hot water" method of getting plastic in its original position might be needed for this figure.
The mini-comic reprint is usually the rare accessory not found when sold loose.
The final DC Direct Cass figure is from their "JL Classified" line and is a more Ed McGuinness-inspired version of her from Batman/Superman #5. Until just last year, this was the last figure Cass had got (2010 released).
Surprisingly, since 2019 this is now one of the most expensive action figures of Cass to buy.
Loose? Copies are going for $74.
Complete? Someone actually is trying to sell this for $200 on eBay (though another is selling this complete for $85).
McFarlane Toys FINALLY broke the cycle of Cassless figures just last year with this Page Punchers Batgirl figure from 2023.
Currently, as of 2024, this figure is fetching $20 loose and $35 completely in the box.
HOWEVER, there is a variant of this Batgirl (because McFarlane Toys! loves to do that). You can tell the differences between the two with the variant having a darker blue mask/cape and tribal markings on her body (the original doesn't have this).
As of 2024, I could find only one seller of this figure. Mint in the box for $200, making her the OTHER expensive Cass figure. 😶😶😶
As of 2024, McFarlane Toys has another Cass figure coming out for the character's twenty-fifth anniversary, but it'll only available via Target.
The figure is "based" on Batgirl Vol. 2 #1 cover by Jim Calafiore. It is going for $22.99 and will be released in late April 2024. On eBay, scalpers are currently asking for $34.99 for it.
