The Sideshow PF features a pink skin tone in person. I got used to it. I assumed the Tweeterhead piece would feature a skin tone that matched the proto. Seems the factory has gone with pink also?

Congrats on your piece arriving soon.
I ordered direct from Tweeterhead, and there has been no news. They do not appear to respond to emails?
This is the first time i have order from Tweeterhead. Catwoman represents my 1st Tweeterhead piece.
I wish i had ordered form Sideshow, but i thought at the time the piece would sell out in seconds. It appears i got that very wrong

They've actually addressed it many times already in newsletters. She is one of their pieces that are stuck on the cargo ships.

They suggested shipping to international customers via air from China. So far, no update on this.
Before they suggested the suggestion above, they hinted at shipping to international customers via Sideshow, to cut down on shipping cost.
So far, neither suggestions have materialized.

I went to a general store. They wouldn't let me buy anything specifically.

I thought that the last newsletter said that they were trying to secure one that didn’t have chemicals in it. I mean. I would love for Ivy and Catwoman to be here a lot sooner than later. But now I am confused.

I forgot about the chemical container issue.
Being a metal container, i wonder why they cannot jet-wash the chemicals away?

Well I am sure it has to be sanitized or however they clean those. I am sure it is a rigorous process. On top of the other issues that they have to deal with. Getting to port. Unloading with reliable dock workers and being able to truck them out. I mean. I don’t know how to operate one of those machines. And I am sure it is not easy.

We don’t know what all goes into it.

Thank you. Sorry for your delay in receiving this piece. I spoke to a Sideshow representative last week and she stated that Sideshow had a container that arrived which contained a small allotment of Catwoman statues and they wanted to start fulfilling orders chronologically, from when they were placed.

I will share photos immediately on the forum once I receive this piece and hopefully the pictures can provide some specificity to fellow collectors regarding certain features of this statue.

This is just my opinion and theory only, but I think with Tweeterhead, since they are a smaller company and trying to navigate through this global shipping crisis the majority of their personnel resources may be directed toward securing containers in China, in order to ship their product back to the States. But, at the same time I feel your frustration, because I have items on order with Tweeterhead that are in a holding pattern until they are able to secure containers. Hopefully, your wait will not be too much longer.

Looks much closer to the prototype in that Video, compared to the first pics.

I think she looks really nice.
