(More customer reviews)Big Barda is a New God from Apokolips and she could kick your butt. She's the wife of Scott Free and she's strong and invincible so he better stay in line. This is her from Wave 7 of the DC Universe Classics line.
Her figure seems just a touch smaller than maybe it should be, she is called BIG Barda after all. I suppose it is a fine line to walk with a character like this making her look tough yet feminine at the same time. Her sculpt, however, is quite detailed. The suit she wears is a kind of armor and has a textured scaled appearance that is intricate. It also has several sculpted bands around her arms and legs, a gold chest plate and gold skirt with red and black symbols and she sports a cape. It's all fancy in a Fourth World kind of way. Her face is actually attractive and realistic looking - many companies have difficulty making attractive female faces. She also wears her big black yellow and red helmet which has plenty of detail all of its own. Note that there is an alternate version without helmet with her hair out but I have not seen that one in person.
Her blue suit seems to have a bit of wash to better bring out those small details. She actually is pretty colorful with light and dark blues, gold, red, yellow and black and it is all pretty darn flawless. I found only one flaw on mine and it is so small that you'll think I'm weird for even noticing. One of her eyebrows is painted as raised which looks fine but on closer inspection there is a tiny raised surface on her face where the eyebrow should have been painted making it even with the other. Maybe the painter was using artistic license. I can't count off for this since it is miniscule and looks fine.
She's as well articulated as any of the male DCU figures sporting a ball neck and shoulders, pin elbows and rotating hands, the tilt and the turn waist joints, hip, knee and ankle joints. The only issue is that the helmet limits neck movement quite a bit and the skirt limits hip movement.
Her Mega-Rod weapon fits in either hand and looks fine in sculpt and paint although it is small and not very intimidating. Because it is small and does not fit tightly in her hand just be careful not to loose it. She comes with her piece of the Atom Smasher collect and connect figure. He's about nine inches tall and had great paint and details all his own so is worth it if you are interested in the entire line.
In the end she's a pretty impressive female figure.
