I couldn't possibly disagree more. The Newmar Catwoman is one of my favorite pieces from 2015. Just an absolutely beautiful piece. I love the overall design, the pose, and the overall look of her suit, especially from a normal viewing distance. It looks magnificant from a couple feet away.

Tweeterhead is making some really nice pieces as the Batgirl Maquette looks like its going to be just as amazing!

I agree it's beautiful. The pose is great and the piece screams elegance overall. I just don't think Tweeterhead quite nailed Newmar's likeness from the show the way they did with the upcoming Batgirl or Riddler. The Adam West was the same for me in the pictures I've seen of the face, although the body is accurate and the costume textures are incredible (the cape looks so light.)

I'm sorry, I completely disagree. Seeing the final piece in person, it looks spot on. Maybe we see different things in the actor/character.

I wasn't expecting this at all! What a pleasant surprise.

I was about to pull the trigger on the Tweeterhead statue, too. Now I feel like I have to wait and see what this one will look like before I decide anything.

Lucasfilm shot down the Mara Jade, I have the resin master in my office, hoping one day it can be made or turned into something else down the road.

Adam is awesome, he got really busy and his involvement in making these statues is imperative. We still talk about doing stuff together, so it's just a matter of time.

And Joe Menna did the digital sculpt for this, this being his first full sculpt for us, he killed it, it's in paint right now.

Interested to see what this will look like. Am really hoping for Nicholson. This is on my maybe list, but I'll say this. If this comes in at $550 or $600, I'm out. Not paying that much for a PF.

Agreed. The likeness to Newmar is incredible. Again, easily one of my favorite pieces from 2015. Tweeterhead did a phenominal job on this piece.

And I am loving that Sideshow is releasing 3 versions of Catwoman in such a short period of time. I hope her base is similar to the modern and classic PF's. The 3 will go together very nicely!!

Glad to see some got a good Tweeterhead Newmar catwoman. Mine wasn't acceptable. It had white wash over her eyes, so it looked like she was blind, a corner of the base was rubbed flat, the paint around her hair was a mess and some gold was rubbed off the base. I am hoping their MP Catwoman arrives nice. Otherwise back it goes after months of them ignoring my emails.
