Well, I bought the B&W Herman Munster a while back. Allegedly limited to 313 pieces. Last time I checked some were still available. Not exactly a barn burner. And IMO that may be their best, most accurate piece, so far.

Well whatever the ES, This is one of the nicest catwoman statues on the market....a low ES is nice but can't imagine wanting to part with the piece for some time.

I'm not concerned about it. This statue caters to a very tiny niche of collectors. there were after all multiple catwoman actresses. This is a beautiful statue and it will be available for preorder for a few more weeks (so i was told). Although I'm pretty certain the ES will still remain really low. look at the Munsters line up, stunning likenesses and paint apps and they are still available, even with their low ES.
I don't think the Munsters and Batman (the '66 show, let alone Batman as a whole) can compare when it comes to their followings, though.
Add to that the aesthetic flair to this piece — Herman is brilliantly done and it certainly has its charm, but it doesn't have that 'Look at me, I'm classy' factor upon first seeing it.
Like I said, not a deal breaker by any means, but I hope I'm wrong and they don't do a Sideshow here.

I could be totally wrong on this but I don't think this will have a high ES even though it has been up for order now for awhile. I think people jumped on it the first day because of the way Tweeterhead presented it, like you only had a limited time to order it and it made it seem like tons of people placed an order and made the website crash. I'm not so sure that many people ordered her though. It's a little pricey for 1/6 scale and shipping for some was really crazy.
I also think Tweeterhead has a limit in their head, say 75 pieces and I think if they reach their limit, they will take it off the website.
Guess we'll see.....

So it wasn't just me.
That's a good point about all the interested people placing their orders the first day. I think the ES will be much higher than 75, though.

Guys, Tweeterhead is REALLY small potato's right now. There is no way this will have a sizeable ES, relax. SS has spooked you all! Most collectors still have no idea this company even exists!

I think your right. AND despite how nice she looks her price will put off all but the most ardent catwoman fans (like me) or fans of the show

That could very well be the case, but since they seemed to be somewhat surprised by the warm reception, I'm afraid greed has gotten the better of them.
Not really a big deal, anyway. If this piece comes out like it should, I can't see myself ever selling it, unlike most of my stuff. A low ES would only be the icing on the cake.

They were suprised at how well the EX of Elvira did too, and I think that wound up at 350 pieces...So yeah, their idea of doing really well and having a bigger ES and your idea of what that means are probably two different things. I am pretty confident it will be less than 500. Probably much less.
Lol. You have a point there...
...but see? That's actually the number I had in mind. It's still considerably more than the 350 pieces you mentioned for Elvira, which I think was a sweet spot.
Don't get me wrong, 500 is still very nice, after dealing with Sideshow's monster edition sizes of late.

Dont get me wrong, I think they would be overjoyed to sell 500, but the 350 they managed on Elvira (also signed) is more likely. I just dont think you have to worry about it being more than 500 max, but it's alot more likely to be less. They are just not a big company and doing this at a scale that many avoid with small licences. But first rate quality!

Yes, small potatoes now but they surely must aspire to go much higher into the Spudisphere. And how do you do that? Sell more stuff. I think the number is being dictated by demand. Otherwise they could have set the number right up front. As the demand starts to really dwindle, they will probably call it and declare the total number to be made. I don't think they're going to cut it off while ordering is still strong. Even if it's 300 or so, that's still a pretty darn small number for this type thing.
If they keep that quality up, surely their fanbase will grow soon.
Mmmmh... more sweet licenses for Trevor to sink his teeth into.
