Hey!
I e-mailed DCC a little over month ago about my BTAS Catwoman, whose all three left hands had broken. Kevin replied me very quickly, saying they would be sending me a replacement as soon as they had her in the office. The replacement figure took a month to arrive from China, and they immediately sent me the figure, which took just three business to arrive here, with a letter from Kevin.
That, my friends, is a true customer service.
Anyway, let's talk about the NEW Catwoman:

First and foremost: this is an all-new BTAS Catwoman figure.
As expected, it is sculpted with the new, improved plastic - like the figures from Wave 2 and beyond. You can feel it's different and better.
The terrible thigh holes are gone forever, as are the holes on the knees and ankles.
I suspect the head/face was re-sculpted, because it is slightly different from the first one.
The paintwork is absolutely incredible. No bleeding
at all.
Seriously, amazing paintwork. Even Isis' eyes have a better paintwork, as have the necklace and camera she comes with.
Catwoman has an overall matte effect on the painting, with just the lips being glossy - a very nice touch.
However, I'm still not sold at Catwoman's eyes.
Although the paintwork on them is far superior and better now, I still kinda don't like the sculpted eyelids (I think it should be drawn, like the rest of the eyes). However, I might get used to it - let's see.
Yes, the whip you see on my picture is the old 90's Kenner whip, which I find to be way superior, because it's way longer and rubberier.
And, yes, I still prefer our beloved old Kenner Isis:

That's it. I'm SO, SO pleased with it.
And it arrived just in time for the Gordon way to come out.
Really excited.
