    Wow, that's crazy, I didn't even realize that! I haven't seen pics of the Julie Newmar & Eartha Kitt, have a link to pictures?
    As a general Catwoman collector, I'm not complaining. In a way she's been easy to collect because any kind of Catwoman stuff typically has a big enough gap in between releases that I can justify buying it. Not sure how I'm going to convince my husband about these....

      Has anyone seen the pictures of the female Cat hands that are now available on the site? They have to be the UGLIEST things there! Maybe it's the picture, but the sculpt looks very rough, the nails are hideous, and the wrist peg looks very fragile.

      I really, really, REALLY hope that the figures are good, otherwise I will write them off as a failure.

            My Exclusive Catwoman arrived today. Not bad. Not great but not bad. The whip is nothing more than a piece of string. The boot buckles are done the same way Dinah's elastic belts was. The hands are Cheetah hands. With metal wrist pins. The overall costume is pretty true to the source material. Not sure what the flap on the back of the rubber collar is all about and the red felt cuffs are a bit off but overall not bad. The one true constant with her? The body refuses to hold a pose and she keeps hunching over.

              If so, hopefully they paint the claws gold.

                          That's because they still use the wrong rubber band to connect the neck to the body. The FTC body is also not rigid, it is actually more soft than an old mego body so that's why the neck used to even pop into the body. It's the same issue with their female body that they have had since the beginning, they never fix anything.

                            So, where can we get the right rubber bands?
