The cat in the last picture looks just as impressed as the rest of us.

Gonna have to take a permanent black marker to those wrist pegs or something. Geez.

I guess I'm the only one excited about this figure. When it comes to '92 Catwoman I just wanted an affordable option that looked fairly decent. I'm not spending however much the Jazz version is and I missed the earlier 1/6 Catwomen that didn't seem to have large releases.

I may buy a loose Jazz headsculpt at some point though

I’d be a little more excited for this of it wasn’t for those wrists

 

[Mike86]

It’s not perfect but again third party and under $200. Compared to the JazzInc version that’s $300 plus. The one that’s licensed and costs more should look better.

The one that’s licensed and costs more should look better.

And it does. Quite.

 

[Mike86]

And it does. Quite.

Not saying I disagree. Just that those who are giving this figure such a hard time are acting a bit silly. Half the price and not official. It’s not a great figure but for what it is I feel like it’s an okay placeholder at least.

Well, honestly, we give better figures a harder time. This is pretty piss poor, even for under $200, by today's standards. The short sleeves are unforgiveable really. Certain figures are just a fail, at any price.

I mean, if the formula "half the price = half the expectations" is really a thing, then you could wrap a Barbie in black electricians tape for about $19.99 (about 1/10th the price). I'm joking, obviously, but where is the baseline?

Same. Only problem really is the wrist joints, which won't even be noticeable if you simply color her wrists in with a black marker. Easy fix, good looking Cat Woman figure.

I am so SO disappointed in this. The wrist area is nothing like the promo images, and completely ruins the aesthetic of this figure. And I’m not sure there’s anything I could do to fix it.

On the plus side, it does look like it has some great flexibility. But that won’t do me any good if I have to pose the figure’s arms behind it’s back to hide those wrists

I wonder why they didn’t include the black wrist pegs from the promo photos.

Some black paint could help conceal the flesh tones.

 

[sabin23]

well not a high bar set at all, Jazzinc's version will smoke this out the water

Eternal and Kumik walked so that JazzInc could run.

Just from my perspective I know when I’m buying third party I’m taking a bit of a gamble. Some of them are really good and others are like this and let you down a bit. I just feel less disappointment because generally my expectations are lower.

True. Unless they have a track record, like say Mars, I generally steer clear of third party figures until they drop. Once in a while, one comes out great and I miss it -- like the Soosootoys Mr. Freeze. Still pissed I missed that one.

Nah, this figure is too ugly to look like Jack Quaid.


Welp, considering Jazzinc is too expensive for my blood, and this looks like a steaming bowl of cat turds, I'm gonna be sticking with my [honestly, quite good] 1/4 NECA Catwoman.

The head sculpt is not bad but those wrist pegs sticking out like that and Eternal Toys thinking that’s ok is crazy. That is such an eyesore, and the fact ET couldn’t bother to make the sleeves longer shows how much they cared.

Precisely. The head sculpt is fine at this price point, but those wrists are a total eyesore and ruin the figure more than a less-than-perfect head sculpt.

I wonder why they didn’t include the black wrist pegs from the promo photos.

I’m guessing Eternal didn’t get many orders for this after Jazzinc announced theirs, so they cheaped out on certain elements like the base body.

Black paint might disguise it, but I’d be more tempted to buy black wrist pegs rather than paint them.

Pretty inexcusable to not offer quality, that reflects the companies sense of direction and values. How much was this figure? Are we talking less than $100? If so then I’ll give them a pass.
