Why is the Batman Reborn Batgirl figure so expensive on the secondary market? I would love it, being a huge Steph fan, but not for $130+. Thatās very disappointing.

I literally had no idea her history was 30 years, I thought she came out some time in the early 2000s and , wow, yeah i missed out.

I think they didnāt make very many of them. 
I donāt have one myself - I have two of the Heroclix Batgirl figures for her instead.
WELCOME! 
Now ya know! Just check out her wiki if you have questions (or ask me )

I didnāt know these existed! I picked up the Spoiler action figure, and the Heroclix one as well. Actually, I accidentally bought the Babs one first, but decided to keep it and then got the Steph one. So, I have three total on my way. I hope eventually they make another Steph Batgirl one.

Only in the darkness can the brightest spark fly.
Well, Iām asking for more of a story or what tools this would give Steph to tell new stories. Steph is already pretty much herself - her own skills, history, relationships, etc - what would being a Talon do that makes her better, at least for you? Why not use Strix or another Talon?

How about making it a very light hearted story.
Stephanie cannot get to her costume (please tell me she has spares). She thinks owls are cute, and she finds one and wears it.

The formula for the charactor isnāt quite right for long term success
I am 100% behind this one. LOL, would be great. She accidentally wanders into a Court meeting, and has to pretend to be one. Great Jeeves and Wooster stuff.
I meanā¦obviously I disagree. And 30 years also disagree. Works a lot better without Dan Didio working against you for 15 years!

Generally, its due to two things:
1. Ignorant eBay sellers that donāt know their product and think āHey, this is old and still in its package. Well, I have to mark it up a ton so as to turn a profit. Surely, someone will pay what Iām asking.ā
Good luck with that mentality eBay sellers, and enjoy hanging onto your overpriced and unsold product for a long time.
2. The more likely scenario: High demand, due to DC Directās StephBats figure currently being the one and only figure of her at this point in time. If someone wants a figure of Steph in her Batgirl duds, thatās literally the only option that exists, right now.
Once McFarlane and/or other companies start releasing their own StephBats figure(s), you will likely see the demand for the DC Direct piece plummet as other options for getting her in plastic come to be. Its happened with many other characters in the past, and it will likely happen with StephBats as well.

Thanks for this awesome reply. Everything you said makes sense. I want a StephBats figure badly, but Iām not going to pay $130 for one. Crazy. Knowing another one will eventually come out, Iāll use my patience. Today Iām having the Spoiler figure delivered, and Iām totally stoked about that. That thing looks like a beauty.
