    between the forehead, the height, crappy body, messed up hair, unpainted claws...

    so she's the same height as batgirl? and is her suit as shiny as batgirl's? catwoman's suit should be shiny.
    She is a little taller because of her high forehead,but not by much and yes Catwoman's suit is shiny....

      ok, well that's something I guess.
      I still think ftc should offer a mail in replacement of bobble heads for correctly sized ones but I know it'll never happen.

          ugh.
          sooooooo...
          she's too tall, her suit is lackluster, her forehead is gigantic, head overall too big, body sucks, belt needs adjusting, terrible hair, claws need to be painted...
          did I leave anything out? oh yeah, it doesn't even look like her, yet somehow most of the other figs in the '66 line look terrific.
          if I didn't already have a custom catwoman mego style box I would just say "pass"

          and you can't shrink the heads like you could shrink the old vinyl mego ones, correct? or is it because of the rooted hair?

                She does look better once you take the time to fix her up, but I agree with the opinions about the head size and the quality of the overall condition for the price you pay for it, but then again that's a chance you take when you buy from FTC, it's either a hit or miss.

                  Is her forehead super big or is it that her hairline is too high? I can't decide. I got Eartha Kitt right away because I liked her better, but I'm still holding off on this one.

                    Just stating a fact. The suit is not as sparkly as Batgirl. Nothing there about my happiness. At least her head only has one neck hole, but she does have a lot of extra forehead.

                      I agree that once the time (and $) is put into "fixing" them, your figs looks much better.
                      my gripe is that the line has severely declined.
                      I don't have $ to spend "fixing" a crappy fig that isn't cheap to begin with. at $30, she is extremely flawed, considering mego figs (adjusted for inflation) would cost about half that much today and had few to no quality control issues.
                      if the first four figs in the '66 line looked like bobbleheads that barely resembled the actors, I would've had lower expectations. but they looked fantastic. then something went very wrong.
                      (rant over)

                      I wouldn't care that much except I was really looking forward to this figure.

                        I wonder if some sort of glossy fixative could be sprayed on her costume to make it more "sparkly?"
                        just be careful it doesn't melt the fabric.
                        nothing you can do about that fivehead though

                          It feels like really cheap material, so it might just melt if you did that. I need to take it to get it tighter on the figure

                            There is a glitter paint that'll make it look just like her real costume, I used this paint on the model kit.
                            However, I'm not too sure how well it'll work on cloth material, it might (as you say) melt the fabric.

                              that looks perfect.
                              if I wind up being the guinea pig, I'll try it on the back of the fig first
