That should repaint fairly easily.

Not a Supergirl fan in any way, but I may pick that up. If only to triple the amount of blue paint already on her. And does she usually have a yellow border on her cape? I don't recall that, but again, not a fan.
Yeah. Unfortunately that is the new Supergirl. I was kind of hoping for the 70's hot pants and puffy sleeve version, but oh well.

Hmm...difficult, but not impossible... The belt and skirt will pose some problems. Gloves aren't a big deal. The hair won't be exact, but black paint might help. The cuffs on the boots are easy enough.

These figures are made of very soft lead -- it's very easy to carve away details with an X-Acto knife, so I'm guessing it wouldn't be too hard to fix the skirt and belt. The hari could be handled in a similar manner if you were willing to re-sculpt using Kneadatite ("Green Stuff" 2-part sculpting epoxy), which would also work well for the skirt.
Kinda funny thinking of a sculpture of a Kryptonian being re-sculpted using something called "Green Stuff."

I just looked at it and "I Dream of Genie" ran through my head.
I need a good shrink.

I am not a fan of Turner's in any way, but the statue isn't so bad.
I think the only things I will "fix" on Supergirl will be the skirt and cape colors. They HAVE to be just red! If I am in a good mood, I may also repaint her belly, but that doesn't really bother me.
As far as taking a Turner modeled Supergirl and turning her to a Byrne-Generations one, I think it is too much work, and to be honest, I don't think black hair, gloves and buccaneer boots is what I think when Supergirl comes in mind. In the Generations books it fit the mix just fine, but as a representative statue, not so much...

My sister-in-law in France is subscribing to the DC series for me. She will send them when she has five or six saved up.
