What we know so far...

A good Batgirl and Catwoman combo could find its way under a lot of Christmas trees this year if they are available!

Personally, I'd love it if they skipped the non-removable mask versions of both and did removable mask versions right from the start!

^^^ Could Not AGREE MORE!

FTC: has BOTH Julie Newmar's & Eartha Kitt's CATWOMAN pictures depicting them Without their masks! I hope they are NOT going to try to force a whole 2nd purchase to get BOTH Newmar & Kitt Catwoman figures with the iconic Cat mask. I will buy x2-3 of each Catwoman figure IF they have removable Masks. Catwoman without having the option to be either Masked or mask-less is a BIG FAIL to me, considering it would be just to get future purchases. If they have in scale heads & removable masks, I'll probably end up with at least x3 of each, but IF they go with molded Masks or mask-less without including a RM, I might buy x1 of each & be bored by the time the 2nd version is presented. If they go Maskless & do NOT include a Mask, but then make the RM versions of Catwoman $35 exclusives...... I will NOT play that game....@ All! This concludes my daily rant about (& threats to) FTC. We will now return to our regularly scheduled program.

The only way to do removable masks is like a pair of glasses (basically like the ones they actually wore in the show from what I've seen). Rooted hair is going to make it very hard to use an elastic band like Robin's mask (impossible if the hair is actually styled in some way like Solomon Kane). The glasses/mask would be a perfect way to easily put on and take off the mask without mussing the hair. Now, they might be thinking of offering versions with masks sculpted on the face as exclusives instead, but I really think that would be a major mistake that would tick off a large part of their target market here. A removable mask is not that difficult here if it is designed correctly.

Maybe I was a bit hasty saying no Catwoman release until next year, maybe will see one
by Christmas? I would like to see a False Face sometime soon and maybe Henchman for 2017?
a 4 figure henchman relase, Penguins Goon, Joker henchman (giggler) Mr. Freeze henchman
(Frosty) and a Catwoman henchman with tigerstripe shirt and Mouseketeer ears.

I think a henchman pack or one per wave are a must; they were a very important part of the show, almost as vital as the main villains themselves. THey wouldn't need to try to get actual likenesses or anything; they could probably get away with using some of the generic heads they already have (though head scale might be a little bit of an issue there, with the '66 heads being a tad bigger).

Both the Barbie Julie Newmar Catwoman and the Tonner Julie Newmar Catwoman have a mask with a band and they seem to hold up pretty well. Years ago DC Direct did 13" figures and they had snap on masks that fit the face without any bands. Green Arrow, Black Canary, Robin and Green Lantern all had these types of masks. Something like this would be great for Catwoman. She must include her mask. The Mattel Catwoman 6" figure looks stupid without hers. It's my least favorite version of Julie so far. Catwoman was never seen in public without her mask on...unless she was at the prison or police station, or undercover as Miss Kitka.

Gladly updated to finally add a Wonder Woman series. Kinda disappointed that it isn't until 2016. Maybe for my birthday in March!!!

Lots of hope that these turn out great!

2016 is Wonder Woman's 75th anniversary! Wonderful tribute!

[Boy_Wonder_1978]

As much as I'm looking forward to these, I'm a little bit chuffed they're not due till next year. A bit of breathing space left to get everything else that's MEANT to be out this year.

[jeffbearco]

I was hoping for a Christmas release too. But with everything else they are trying to get out this year, I can understand. I just hope they are first quarter 2016 and they don't put it off indefinitely.
