    Hadn't looked that closely at the necks, but it sure looks like they messed up again on sculpting and tried to correct it without even smoothing it out.

      The plastic used looks like it has other materials in it or wasn't mixed until blended. She has odd little spots that are IN the vinyl all over that make her look like she is dirty. It is wonky, rough sculpt that looks nothing like Eartha Kitt. No chin. Crooked jaw line. Head doesn't sit on the neck post properly and the back of her head/neck is a wreck. AND they put her AFRICAN AMERICAN head on a Caucasian body!

      On the plus side, I do think they did a decent job with the hair design/execution. Her "do" is complicated and they did an admirable job trying to duplicate that. It should have been darker but it appears they "lightened" everything about her.
      Yeah,Eartha is a mess...glad I passed

      Next up are the Goons...I have low expectations as we suspect FTC just using their current head inventory for them. Gonna be picky for sure with them.

        Yeah, kind of curious about them, too. I could just imagine Joker's gang consisting of Gilligan, Davy Jones and Bo Duke.

            Beautifully done!!! Would you be able to make a mask for both for me. I'm all thumbs, but I'd love my Catwomen to be as good as yours.

                While that would be sorta funny,but also cheap on FTC's part....for $30 each (and you know these are going to be over $100 for these 4-pack sets) we should be at least getting new head sculpts of some kind, which could be spread out among all the sets....also putting female goons in the sets is inaccurate and a big waste

                  Not inaccurate to have a female in the pack. Go back and watch the show. There was one in every episode.

                    Getting separate Molls would be nice. As long as they don't have humongous melon heads.

                      They will just be generic Invisible Girls or Wonder Woman heads.

                            well, Batman won't hit a woman, so of course they don't fight. The FTC description didn't refer to the females as goons anyways, molls.

                              No,the women wouldn't last a second...unless they are significantly different,they don't belong in the "GOON" set.

                                Instead of molls I'd rather see more male henchmen as the bodies of the women are a hot mess. For Riddler I'm hoping for the 3 rat henchmen in colorful hoodies, as they are the only ones that make sense if the 4th figure is a female (Across and Down henchmen that belonged to John's Riddler wouldn't work because there is only 2 figures, same with the Riddler henchmen in the Wax episodes with the stripes on their shirts)

                                For Joker my dream would be 3 different color sweater henchmen and the alien guy from the space episode, but that won't work either if they insist on each 4 pack including a female.

                                My problem with the molls is I think they are just gonna make a dumb female wearing a "goon" dress or a female in a cat print dress, instead of real molls used on the series. I'd be all in for Suzie Cheerleader, Pussycat, Molly etc, but I bet that is not what we will get.
