She has one foot perched on an exclusive Gotham City gargoyle base, accentuating her long legs.<\/p>\n<p>The statue, based on original character art by Shunya Yamashita, stands approximately 9-inches tall (1:7 scale). She&#8217;s sculpted by Atelier Bamboo and made of high-quality pvc plastic.<\/p>\n<p>Barbara Gordon AKA Batgirl was first created for the original 1960s <em>Batman<\/em> television series and subsequently made her first appearance in the comics in 1967.
