Statue Tweeterhead Julie Newmar Catwoman by Trevor

[dan350zr]

Black outfit on Black Cat, to much black IMO, the original one pops more with the black on gold... That said, it's still nice looking.... I'm a bit disappointed that they're going down the variant path to cash in on it's popularity... Kind of kills the collectability when they go beyond the limited edition of what they originally said.... Seems the only companies that keep their word on Edition Sizes are XM and Prime 1... Everybody else will change the color of something on the statue and say it's new... << sigh >>

Thanks a lot Armymedic !

You got it, bro. We're going to love this variant Catwoman and with an autographed certificate. And for 274.95 that is a steal.

Ordered! LOVE the black cat! It gives a more authentic Egyptian touch... IMHO

I missed the emerald edition, and now I'm glad I did.

Is them gem removable like the emerald version?

I'll have to argue for the opposite side LOL. The gold cat is specific to the first appearance episode Julie Newmar was in.

GOLD cat the only really good looking display- black one too much blending with her suit and whole thing does not have as good a look...

i agree- stick to your limited run and leave it- create a whole new pose if you do another duplicate subject.....

What was the Edition Size on the First run & this one now?

Emerald edition was 300. Regular was open I believe.

Definitely stick to gold edition limited run if you can pay the $650+ price tag on the secondary market now. I rather get the black cat and only pay $274.99 + shipping.

The Sideshow one say's it's a Ruby Edition too but it doesn't mention the Signature.
Is the Autograph Only through Tweeterhead?

They usually are.

Secondary market prices will plummet now though.

I'm hoping it does cause of greedy sellers on Ebay trying to sell this off, and not even the EXC just the reg for $650+ just cause it sold out or was a limited run.

They are not greedy if that is market price.

I understand that. It's like whatever the last person in your neighborhood sold his house for that determines more or less what a nearby neighbor can expect for his house. But now with this variant, it will disrupt what people are paying for the original gold issue. At least for a little while until the 2nd issue are all sold out.

I hate when companies re-release hot items. It's for no other reason but to sell more. Always Kills the value on the original. DC Direct did that repeatedly. No matter what piece went up. They ended up changing the color a little and pumped out a few thousand more. Then other companies followed suit. Now some companies like Blitzway don't even bother changing anything at all. They just pump out another thousand as is.

I remember when they did that with the original 1st issue 1993 Saban Power Rangers. All that stuff was so limited, then they reissued most of the 1st issue figures/playsets again and then it all lost it's value.

You guys shouldn't be surprised and/or disappointed when re-releases happen. For-profit companies make decisions that increase their profits.

I'm not, I'm actually happy they did a variant Newmar catwoman cause I didn't want to pay the ebay prices to get that 1st gold edition.

Another different statue would "increase their profits" and still let them keep their integrity and collectability.
