First of all, potential buyers of this toy set should know that the manufacturer's description listed above in inaccurate: This doll does not have the "bendy" body that the individually issued Batgirl Barbie has. This doll has more of an "action figure" body made from hard plastic. Another difference is this doll's head is on a ball-joint, so she can look forward while posed on the Batcycle. In general, this doll is more posable than the other version, and her joints have a larger range of motion. Also, her boots are not split up the back like the other doll's; therefore the boots will stay on nicely during play.

The Batcycle itself is pretty fantastic as well. The bike has several moving parts and perfectly supports the doll in a riding position.

The set makes a terrific display piece, but I am betting kids will love it as much as collectors. Mattel has really made an impressive toy with this set! And you can't beat amazon.com's price!

The Barbie as Batgirl w/MotorCycle is a beautiful rendition of a great Female Superhero. This Exclusive is an excellent investment for the Collector as well as a great play piece for the Barbie fan. What a great match this is, barbie & batgirl. It don't get no better than that. A+++

You can bend her anywhere. The motorcycle has a kickstand and you can steer it.She's dressed sooooo beutifly. Good for kids and adults.

Batgirl with Batcycle is being sought after by doll collectors and action figure collectors alike. The body of this Batgirl is different from the Batgirl in the standalone box and there are subtle costume variations as well. I highly recommend this playset to kids and adults alike.

My 4-year-old daughter is starting to get interested in Barbie dolls, and asked if she can have a "fancy" Barbie for her birthday. Yet, she is mesmerized by her brother's action figures. I knew when I saw this hybrid Barbie/superhero, I found the perfect solution. The motorcycle is really cute, and the doll is beautifully dressed.

I am sad to see that these dolls weren't snapped up to be placed into the hands of children, or even collectors, but instead by hoarders who now want $40, $50, $80 or more. I paid $24.99 in April 2006...a reasonable price. How sad that the e-bay profiteers are snatching up kids' toys to create artificial scarcity...sadly, the internet has helped previously normal adults become shady scalpers instead.

Stop posting fake reviews on this product. It seems really unbelievable that you touched the "Batgirl" figure just once and everything broke on it? You must be "cave" people.Batgirl Barbie is a GREAT figure AND so is the BATCYCLE! Go and buy it if you'd like it is worthy penny and it is at a great price!

I totally love this! But,sparkly outfit? Get real!That would atract the badguys and destract Batman&Robin. Atracting a bad guy could be good if she was the distraction,but Batgirl would not do that! She does look good with Catwoman, PoisonIvy,WonderWoman,Supergirl,Elektra,and(hopefully when I get her) Harly Quin. The Bat cycle is totally great.Butt for her feet to be in the right place and her Batarang free in the handle her butt in the air.

The Batbike for Barbie is worth every penny. What I like the best is the packaging, the window box is top notch. Also, the Barbie on the Bike looks GREAT out of the box. I don't take my collections out of the box ever but, I saw a Bike that was out of the package at a friends house. I am not normally a Barbie collector, I am a Superhero collector(Batman,Superman,JLA,
ect...) of all types. So, I have also picked up the Supergirl, Wonder Woman, and the single packaged Batgirl. This line is great for Barbie collectors and Superhero collectors alike.

This is a great toy for Barbie fans that are comic book fans , and a good way to introduce girls to the male dominated realm of comic book superheroes . Barbie makes a great fashion doll but a lousy superhero , though . My primary recommendation for this action set is for use in kit-bashing . The Batgirl costume is well made and much higher quality than the figure only Barbie Batgirl . The costume works nicely on a REAL female action figure , Takara's Cool Girls for example . The high point of this toy , however , is the Batcycle ; one of the finest 1/6 scale motorbikes produced at a reasonable price . It has great detail and looks even better with a custom re-paint . Very tough as well , it took me an entire day to tear it apart for the custom repaint . The doll , also , is sturdy and requires a great deal of effort to pop apart . This is a MUST BUY
toy for both Barbie fans, collectors or action figure customizers !

Very please with product. It is much larger than expected. Of course the recipient will not be removing it from the box. It is meant to be a collector item. But it looks well made and very sturdy. Would definitely recommend if you are a barbie fan.
