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

Got my replacement already today - the turnaround time was fantastic. I thought I was all good.... then I saw some black thing sitting on the styrofoam. It was part of the whip. WHY???? Now I was REALLY wishing for detachable hands since I have one with an intact whip and broken cape and one that looks pretty good except for the broken whip.

I saw a Catwoman and blue Batman at my LCS and they both looked amazing! I really need to get on ordering me a Catwoman.

Just pick her up at the local shop. Supporting a small business AND no waiting for pesky shipping where she could get broken

I agree whole heartedly
I do not regret my purchase via Tweeterhead but my LCBS will let me do monthly installments so I might as well take advantage of that.

Tweeterhead is pretty much a small business, too. Plus, with the kind of support I've been getting from them with this Catwoman, I'm good. It will suck if the second replacement ends up with damage, too... I'm not even sure how this last one even happened. Maybe when the styrofoam was put over it, it hit the whip... The really sad thing is this second one looked REALLY good, otherwise. That left arm seam was barely noticeable.

I'm not sure how everyone else's LCS works - I haven't been into one around here for awhile. But, if nothing has changed buying a statue means buying something that has been on display in a store with an above-MSRP markup.

I do agree with you about Tweeterhead being a small business as well. I figure if I would order the statue via my LCBS or Sideshow or Entertainment Earth Tweeterhead is still making money

If I order something through my LCBS I would pay the retail price. My comic book store does not order any statues unless a customer would want one. They do have a small selection but they are ones that customers brought in for trade or store credit. They look to see what some have sold on EBay for and price them according to that.

I received my Catwoman replacement today. The "Wanted" poster is broken again...in almost the exact same place. Also this time the tassle (I guess you'd call it) from the handle of the whip was broken off.

Did other people have broken "Wanted" posters? It almost looks like a flaw in the design of the styrofoam is pressing against it. I'll reach out to Tweeterhead again tomorrow. I could just throw up.

Other than having a hard time inserting Catwoman into the base (which I was eventually able to get her in there damage free) mine arrived fine

Hopefully they will have another one that they can send out to you. And hopefully they’ll examine it before they do since this is the second one you received that is broken

I hope so. I just couldn't believe it when I opened the second broken one. I think time stood still. Ha.
