    Around 1978, I discovered that Catwoman costume...I remember falling asleep at nights trying to figure out how I'd sculpt that head to line her up beside Batman; and i'd never seen a Mego Batgirl (aside from he comic book Heroes World drawn ads).

    You nailed her likeness! Fantastic job! A true inspiration...your daughters are very very blessed to have you as their Dad...

    I even love the choker necklace deet!

    I am curious with what medium you sculpted the hair?
    Is that a Mattel Cheetah head? If so, you did a great job filling in Cheetah's mask to raise the eyelet details and smooth out the downward point at the top of the opening of the face mask.
    Would you share how you did it?

          Thanks for all of you comments! I am getting more joy watching my girl hold Catwoman than any figure sitting on the shelf. It is a Mattel Cheetah figure. I used Apoxie Sculpt for the hair, ears (made them pointy!) and mask. I just painted Cheetah's boots. I learned a thing or two making it, so I can't wait to finish one for me! Next, my 8 year old wants a Huntress!
