DC Direct - Justice League - Supergirl - Series 8 Alex Ross

DC Direct's JUSTICE series is arguably one of their most successful lines.  Alex Ross' super-realistic painting style translated very well into action figure form and everyone in the collecting world took notice.  Just the fact that this Supergirl figure was released in Series Eight should convey the success of the toys.  I especially love this Supergirl costume (often referred to as Hotpants Supergirl) because she is wearing her classic 1970's retro outfit with baggy sleeves, a plunging neckline, and tiny red shorts.  It's a very unique look with a very specific era attached to it, but it's still undeniably Supergirl.  This figure was pretty consistent demanded on the "wish lists" that fans would perpetually post to the DC Message Boards (when they still existed) and I think the announcement of this figure made a lot of fans very happy indeed.  The realistic style also makes her stand out from the other more animated comic-based designs.
