Re: Fire Toys Catwoman
It's actually my figure, purchased just over a year ago from Tim Cent, brand new and sealed in the shipper.
There were about five or six points of flaking when I opened the box and took off the plastic sleeves. A few hours later, without even touching the figure more pieces fell off.
I left it overnight on the stand and in the morning even more of the costume had flaked away, literally without even touching the figure. If I'd posed it and handled it I think the gloves and boots would have shed all their coating. The suit was not as bad but was still decaying in places.
I packed it up and returned it for a full refund. It's the only figure I've ever returned and it broke my heart.
The paint on the right leg of my Iron Man mark 45 has also started to go a bit matt and chip - also bought sealed about a year ago. My advice to anyone with boxed figures is to sell or display because they will not last.

I'd forgotten about this one.
Got the final invoice earlier. KG Hobby say they've arrived in stock.

Yuppie, noticed GT has it in too.

People on OSR are clamouring for some actual out of the box photos. Ian Smith says he'll try, but he's very busy at the moment.
Looks like we'll have to manage with the current photos of Selena engaging in auto-erotic asphyxiation.
I paid the KG Hobby invoice a couple of days ago, but so far there's no tracking so I don't know whether they've actually received their stock yet.

John Desmeules commented on Ian's post with photos:
The costume looks as though it lends itself to posing, as in rolling her shoulders back.
I don't know why he has both the Fire and HT goggles flying so high.
Saying that, did the HT goggles ever manage to get into this position with the insides of the lenses facing outwards?
Their prototype photos only showed the lenses facing upwards:

The sculpt is well painted.
The suit and boot material feels kind of nice and hugs the body well.
The goggles turn in a way that HT never showed in their own promotional photos, so that the lenses face in this direction:
They look like they ought to slide but at the moment they don't want to move.
The pistol has a moving (and removable) slide and what appears to be a removable magazine as you can see a brass painted round in the top of it with the slide is pulled forwards. Though the magazine doesn't want to budge yet. It's based on the same type of gun that Hot Toys gave their Selina, but it wasn't a type that was used in the film. The 1/6 gun looks like an early model SIG-Sauer P250 Compact, but not particularly well realised. Better to give her a Beretta 92FS

This turned out to be a very good looking figure, especially at only $109 delivered.
She just needs a bit of care
The Pros:
Head sculpt and paintwork, mask/goggles sculpt and function, suit and boots all look great.
The Cons:
The strap on the mask is too short to fasten because her hair is so thick. I put a sandwich bag wire through each side and used it to draw the two ends together.
She's too short for Anne Hathaway. Without her boots she'd only be 5' 3" (rather than Anne's 5' 7"). However, I bought her to have a Catwoman in the collection, so she fills that role.
Seems common nowadays for female characters to be too short.
The neck joint is a little strange. The peg is pretty long so the ball joint is a way down into the body. The head tends to want to tilt forwards, so that she's looking slightly down rather than directly straight. To straighten her head you have to hold the neck tight and pull her head back so that ball joint inside the head cup turns. I only discovered this after taking all but one of the photos.
