I wanna say I remember him not accepting PayPal because of the long preorder period that would be out of the buyer protection time frame or whatever it is that PayPal offers.

They should had fixed that now for that reason, a lot of retailers back out from paypal because they didn't deliver the goods within a time period, but it has gotten better.

To be honest I love the regular catwoman, the battle damaged catwoman looks good and all but I'll be happy with the regular version!

Where do you see Alfred on Kit’s site? Could you PM me the link? I can’t find it

I just looked and can’t seem to find him either.

Sorry, at the time of my post he was available, but it looks like he’s sold out now.

Looks to have sold out at the regular haunts so I’d turn to AliExpress next.

I’m really struggling with this one
I really want the figure, but the price point is keeping me from pulling the trigger just yet.

Hot Toys prices I could *just* about justify in terms of value for what you get. But I’m really struggling here.

If I were to get the Clean Deluxe Version, which is the one I would go for, it would cost $542 from Kit. I just don’t see the value there for that price, especially when compared to Hot Toys.

Then factor in that we have zero idea what the production headsculpts will look like once they have the rolling-eyes systems incorporated. That might downgrade the value even more depending on the outcome.

Just to clarify - it’s not the actual price that’s the problem for me, per-say. It’s the value for that price. I’m struggling to see it.

But I do really want to have this figure in 1/6 scale.

Gaaaahhhh!!!!

I'm with you 100%
Im struggling with this one.
Its a figure I've wanted for years - but honestly the value for money is killing the excitement for me, I just dont see the value/cost ratio.
Money is always tight for me anyway, but as you say, even if I could comfortably afford it I'm not sure I would pay this price anyway.
I've never been so torn on a figure.
At no point have I felt any closer to making a decision.

Honestly - my gut tells me that if the price is galling me this much, maybe I best skip it.
But as soon as I think that it breaks my heart
Its a sad truth of this hobby that, unless you are loaded or a major youtube reviewer, you can't get everything you want.
The question I suppose is, if like me your funds are limited, how much are you willing to sacrifice to get this.
And if you can afford it and feel torn on the value judgement, the question then is - will you be more annoyed about the price you paid when you look at this piece in your collection or would you be more upset by its absence - only you can know.
I've ordered things before that I spent way too much on and decided to sell onwards because that price is what I thought of when I looked at the piece, and I've paid aftermarket prices for figures I missed due to not originally wanting to pay their retail price only to change my mind.
It can go either way.

It's easy for

It's an easy one for me, there will never be a licensed version again, so you're going to pay 2x-3x more after you realized you messed up and should have gotten it at retail hahah.

This.

This figure is _so_ unique in _so_ many ways!

But the most unique thing about her is that she is the _first_ licensed figure of this much loved character and may well be the _only_ one we ever see. If she were easy to make others would have made her by now.

Do what I do. Keep a ranked wish list of announced upcoming preorders. Whenever you encounter a rare opportunity like Jazzinc’s Catwoman, just knock two or three of the other figures off the list.

I’d easily trade two or three other figures, _any_ other figures for a chance to nab that Cat!

Thanks for the advice, guys! That did actually help me a lot.

I definitely do need to factor in the rarity of an official 1/6 Returns Catwoman existing, and the potential aftermarket costs if I change my mind.
I'm going to take a couple of days to think on it still, just to be sure, but I'm leaning more towards going for it now.

Just FYI, if you’re planning to order from Kit, be aware that his preorder cutoff for the five variants of Catwoman is November 17.

Not a lot of time left.
