Jazzinc Dioramas 1/6 Ultimate Catwoman (Batman Returns, 1992)

[Chopper Face]

Oh ok, then I missed that information.
I must admit that sometimes I can't really keep up, when a thread "suddenly" gets 5 new pages of posts. So I tend to just skim through it.
Sometimes, in a hurry, I even only scroll through the images

That's a situation that doesn't even cross my mind.

I do a fair amount of commuting and reading through these threads keep me occupied throughout a lot of those journeys.

But I digress; the body will be completely custom and seamless- made of the highest grade and durable materials on the market along with the suit, which will also be re-tailored to the new body once it is finished.
The heads will also include rolling eyes which are not featured in the proto pics.

This is what scares me the most. I mean, it’s a HUGE leap of faith in our part. Not like we can cancel and get our deposit back if we don’t like the outcome.

But I’m keeping my fingers crossed that my worrying is for nothing

Goddamn I wanted this Catwoman so much.

But honestly - I just dont think I can justify the cost and I've seen too many videos of Jazzinc products with defects or other problems to take such a huge leap of faith on a companies first real foray into 1/6 character figures.
Ultimately - what we are being shown in these proto pics are not what we are going to get:
- there is a PERS eye system to be installed in the heads that we haven't seen
- there is going to be an entirely new body
- the battle damaged suit hasn't been fully customised for its endgame appearance yet
- these proto pics use the full metal custom diecast claws which will be absent on the final product
- the proto pics show the full diorama as part of the single pack options, which gives a bit of a false impression on how bare-bones the single packages are.

Its just an insane of money to gamble on a leap of faith, especially on my budget.
So after a full month of kicking myself trying to come to a decision, I have.
Gonna have to regretfully pass on this.

Now my only hope is that HT do a decent Catwoman and Penguin.
Worst case scenario - I still have my 1/4 NECA Catwoman and Penguin - which are still great representations of the characters.

Isn't this two years away? Hopefully that gives Joost/Jazzinc enough time to develop and iterate on the moveable eyes to look good.

I think I'll just get the Battle Damage deluxe. Something about the clean Catwoman sculpts looks a little off while the BD sculpts look incredible.

What's the cut off date to order this?

Got a clean deluxe already, just deciding whether to get the battle damaged to.

11/17 on OneSixthKit. No cutoff announced yet for Spec Fiction, One Sixth Outfitters, or Jazz Inc direct (if you're outside of North America).

Of all the figures I've paid $400 for..

The first official 1/6 Returns Catwoman ain't a purchase that makes me shake my head. I don't know if this figure will be the Second Coming or not, but I'm certain I'll be happy and thankful for it.

My shelves will welcome a female. Especially Pfeiffer.

Exactly. Even on a generic body with weird proportions, the protos looked amazing. And they managed to nail the likeness not only once, but multiple times with multiple expressions. Which is something we can not always count on with HT and other companies. And of course we already saw the very solid job they did producing Vulture, so they are not complete newbies at this figure stuff.

My only concern would be the paint job.

Almost forgot today is the cutoff preorder date on Kit. Sometimes those are just placeholder dates though. Ended up ordering only the Battle Damage deluxe.

I’ve gone back and forth so many times on this one. I’d like it but I just don’t think I can justify it to myself.

The two pack is just too much and I can’t decide on one or the other if I was to get a single. Plus I have seen some of the QC concerns from other Jazzinc products that gives me hesitation.

I think I’m going to see if Hot Toys gives us anything because at least I semi know what to expect from their products and likely they won’t charge as much.

 

[Scout Trooper]

Man I really wanted this figure.

Unfortunately I can't allow myself. And I won't state the reason why.

Shame.

I pre-o’d two of the double deluxe duos w/ dio when the POs first went live but I think I’m gonna get an extra bare bones clean figure as well. That way I can use another of the heads from the deluxe figure.

Love the updated figure! Can’t wait to see it with a new suit on!
