    Batman 66 Figures Toy Company - Catwomen have arrived!

    Batman 66 Figures Toy Company - Catwomen have arrived today, I just ordered Thursday afternoon after I learned of your notification, so that was super fast shipping:

    I believe many of us were waiting a long time for these, and Figures Toy Company did a great job!
    This Batman 66 Classic TV series is my favorite of all 8" figure lines, I also like other lines and the original Megos, but this series was most desired over 40 years ago. Great facial details, body suit, and accessories on these Catwomen figures. I believe the cat claws on the gloves were actually gold, but are unpainted on these figures; no problem, as this detail can be easily applied. The Eartha Kitt figure has a darker skin color in the face than the Julie Newmar figure, but she uses the Caucasian body type, which may have been closer to her face color?
    I may order the Alfred/Egbert and Joker as the Maharajah variants, and I look forward to the henchmen/henchwomen releases, but I only desire one of each of the different villain henchmen. If Figure Toy Company only sells the henchmen/henchwomen in sets of four, maybe some of us could go in together to divide up and receive one of each different villain henchmen.

    I do like 'em, but I think Julie looks more like Lee Meriwether and Eartha's skin tone looks a little too light to me

        ^^^ Mattel body transfer, fixing the crap glove arrangement and redoing the belt to actually ride on her hips for me. I really dislike the fake glove tops on this and Batgirl.

                Does Julie have the cat ears? Are they sculpted?

                  Yes, Julie also has the cat ears sculpted on her head, but her hair is so thick, it is difficult to see the ears

                    I sometimes can't understand the thinking of some people, you make the hair to thick which covers an important detail
                    of the character, they don't notice this at the manufactures? so now it's up to the buyer to fix the issue, which we shouldn't
                    have to deal with in the first place.

                    Maybe it's not such a big deal to some, but it is a bit of an inconvenience to now have to carefully cut out the hair around the ears to make it look correct.

                      It may be as "simple" as parting the hair around the cat-ears and recombing slightly--not cutting.

                        They both look nice. I like the Eartha better so I think I'll start with that one.

                            Looks good and great collection!
                            I transferred mine to a Mego body.

                              So to get some understanding how you pulled this off, Is her Catsuit short Sleeved like the Batgirl in Batman Series 5 and the ExcelsiorExclusive Black Catwoman?
                              And thus you transferred her at the forearms to retain the Gloves?
                              I just picked up an Excelsior Catwoman off of ebay ( to totally redo using a Dyed RAH Cheetah outfit, and body) and will eventually Pick up and Eartha Kitt to do a similar transfer....
                              ( although in Eartha's case I may just B&P the hands only)
                              Looking at the Excelsior Catwoman, that seems to be the only way to retain the gloves is to swap at the Forearm.
