No, that one is not. Only the Emerald one is signed.

I was just kidding but have been thinking...
I would have loved the emerald signed edition but shipping costs plus vat and duty etc made it ridiculously expensive. I preordered for a regular with a UK retailer gutted that I'd miss out on the Ex
What I don't understand is why bother with two editions? They will be making so many emerald from having this open for so long that it would be more hassle to source and refit clear gems. Time being money etc.
Of course they might ship thousands of regulars to batfans so what do I know? Be real interesting to see the edition numbers on this tho.
Who knows, TH is not telling even when they posted they would weeks ago. The regular is "low quantity" at SS right now.

I could be absolutely wrong, probably am, but I still can't see the ES on the emerald edition being that high. The cost with shipping for me was almost $320. You have to be a pretty big fan to drop that amount on 1/6 scale. That's almost as much as a PF and using Sideshow points or whatever coupon you may have, you might get a PF for close to that. I also can't see Tweeterhead sending Julie Newmar a letter saying: Dear Ms. Newmar, please sign these 3000 certificates, regards 
I really do believe the majority of people, like me, ordered her immediately due to Tweeterhead making it sound as if you had a 3 hour window to get her. Even being up on the site for months, I think sales probably dropped off after the initial craziness.
But, I've been wrong before.......

When we see the ES on these pieces we shall see. I don't think the ES will be high for some reason like cost as well as these are geared for a very specific client(aka 66 batman/nostalgic fan). This is not the hulk, etc, for ex. We will see soon enough. I ordered the Emerald ed and absolutely love Trevor Groves work and is now up there for me in the top tier for sculpts

I really like the piece but ultimately passed as there is just too much good stuff right now, mainly ebay auctions I'm considering lol and the new dc stuff.
From a Facebook response to criticism of them reopening the ordering: "The edition size will be below 300 on our CW"
It will be under 300, how much they are not saying yet for some reason. I was hoping they would post it today being her birthday, but looks like not yet.

Interesting....they had to have sent her the certificates, yet they can't tell us how many they sent her.....uh, okay.
At least we have a ball park number, thanks for the info Stingray
No problem, I found it a few days ago and forgot to post it until now. 300 is less than I was expecting with all the crazy ordering mess going on.

Wish the number was 100 or less. Elvira with autograph was only 50 I believe. Preordered exclusive catwoman once released on tweeterhead and it seems like a long wait.

Am I the only one who thinks she looks better holding a diamond than an emerald?
Love this statue but I'm on the fence because I'm not sure where it would fit in my collection. Still, I might get it just because Hot Toys will never come close to matching that body with one of their standard female figures. (And that's if HT even bothers making one.) I don't own the West Batman or Robin and if I was going to get a figure from the that show, Julie Newmar would be the one. But she would be a 1/6 statue in my collection of 1/6 action figures, and she would also be the only Batman 66 figure. Just not sure where I would display her.

I am planning to display her with my HT 1966 Batman...coming from a completely different angle though...all mine are statues with one 1/6 fig lol

Hey, if you like the diamond, that's okay! The green distracts a little from her so I see your point totally. I have some things in my collection that "don't belong" but I just display them alone. I plan on getting most of this line so that's not a problem but you'll find room for her if you really want her

That folks is a lovely piece...stunning photos showing proof of how good these are...When these get into peoples homes and the photos start coming in there will be more interest...Tweeterhead is slowly but surely showing the statue collectible world its quality...Since owning Herman and seeing the Elvira piece I've had no doubts...Trever Grove has proven he can sculpt anyone to a fantastic degree as good as anyone on the planet IMHO....I say the ES will be 275 just a guess based on the earlier post...eventually this will be a more desired piece...I think this might be the greatest Julie Newmar piece that will ever be made...Maybe no one else will do another...I just hope and pray that HT does the 66 Batmobile...It will suck and make me just a little bitter of HT if they dont....I'll say it again...god forbid Tweeterhead does I Dream of Jeannie, The Wild Wild West, F-Troop, Get Smart, Lost in Space or TOS Star Trek!...Last but not least I gotta commend the QC of the pieces they released so far...awaiting Lily Munster in a few weeks
