NEW PRODUCT: Jazz Inc. Batman Returns - 'Michelle Pfeiffer' Catwoman 1/6 scale action figure

The Batman licence is not my cup a, but dudes! what a ridiculously precise and accurate series of headsculpts. Damaged version is just mindblowing. Imagine how it's hard to sculpt a female face with a grin, and still keep it accurate and cool. At that size !

It sure is pricey, but come on, if this was my thing I wouldn't pass on this one at no cost.
Those who will, wil regret it like they regretted not to grab the InArt Aragorn.

I would rather save on one or two other purchases and keep this one. My two cents.

Well, I struggled a long time with this one. That price is brutal, but I don’t foresee Hot Toys doing anything at this level anytime soon, so I broke down and PO’d the Deluxe two pack. For anyone else on the fence, the PO window closes on the 17th (tomorrow).

As much as I hemmed and hawed about this figure and how much I had to have it, the all-in price point (especially at retail versus the prices Jazzinc originally posted) has just priced me out. When you consider I purchased an entire 1/6 scale Batmobile for about $300 more (less shipping), the justification for the price is just not there for me personally. It’s also difficult to drop that much coin to a company who is truly untested at delivering at this quality and at this scale. I understand they made an unlicensed figure before, but that was nowhere near this detail and this quantity.

I’m now holding out hope that Hot Toys releases her in their artisan line soon (which may be why Hot Toys blocked Jazzinc from selling this direct to the North American market), especially since they just re-released the 92 Batman. Even with their artisan pricing, I think you’ll get similar quality at a much lower price point. Just look at the HT artisan TDK Joker versus the InArt of the same character. Minimal difference visually and maximum price difference. Plus, I can order the Batmissile, and a couple Hot Toys figures for a similar price of this two pack.

I may regret my decision once this thing releases and is in hand and selling for hundreds over retail, but it is what it is.

A rumor dropped during a YouTube steam in the past 48hrs that Hot Toys is planning on releasing Catwoman.
How true is the rumor? who knows?
Apparently, the news is, Catwoman will drop sometime in 2025.
It would not surprise me if Hot Toys managed to offer a pre_order and ship the figure, Batch 1 at_least, before JazzInc. ship theirs.
Exciting times.
I am sticking with the JazzInc. figure. If the Hot Toys figure looks amazing, i could be tempted to pick that one up also.
I do not think Catwoman falls under the Artisan line, not unless they offer an unmasked portrait with real hair?

That was my hope, that they would do a battle damaged version as well. I really do like what I’m seeing with the Jazzinc Catwoman, no doubt. I’ve just never paid that much for a figure with a premium cost before (InArt, JND, etc.) The most I’ve ever paid for a 1/6 scale figure would be the Hot Toys MMS693 deluxe Batman figure at $410 shipped. My threezero T-60 was $443 shipped (after rewards) but that’s a larger 1/6 scale figure. I love what I’ve seen on the Jazzinc Catwoman and I want it, I just haven’t been able to personally encroach that premium price point figure offering yet.
