Anyone seeing this pop up anywhere else?

Catwoman is one of the finest articulated female figures I own. And certainly the best 6 inch figure of the character. Keep in mind, she's very... plain to look at. There's not a lot going on in terms of aesthetic. Not trying to dissuade anyone - terrific figure. But if you're not so much about posing, you might find it's a lot of money just to stare at a basic black body on your shelf.

Definitely in it for the articulation so that's good to know!

Being able to get this figure really changes my attitude about the rest of the villains that are on the way - I had decided to content myself with Batman and Nightwing since I wouldn't be able to get the full set, but now that Catwoman and Joker are available again I'm taking a second look at Ivy, Scarecrow, and whoever else gets made.

Any clue if she'll be offered at the import spots, or is this a case of BBTS finding an extra case laying around, and not an actual MAFEX reissue?

Doubling down on how good Catwoman is. One of the best figures I own. (Oddly enough I'd been trying to find a Joker since I wasn't all in on Hush Mafex when he first came out, so I've got him in my BBTS cart right now. Wishing I got him when I saw him discounted on Amazon last year but that was before I had Nightwing, Huntress, etc., all in hand and decided to really dive into the line.)

If you missed her, get Catwoman now that you’ve got the chance!

I'm wondering the same thing - did a quick tour of HLJ, AmiAmi, and a handful of others and didn't see anything. I'd prefer to order from one of those but didn't want to take the chance to miss out and got an order in with BBTS just in case.

Fourthing or fifthing the Catwoman love. Outstanding figure. Unquestionably the best female figure I own.

Joker is decent, too, though a little limited.

Looks like The Batman movie figure won't get delayed again and may release in early October.

I think I'm gonna cancel my order for The Batman. It's looking a little funky in some spots.

I have Joker, Harley, and Bats with Bane on preorder.  All this talk about Selina is making me second guess my decision to skip her.

I'll raise the Selina praise by saying she isn't just "one" of the most articulated female figures I own--she is THE most articulated female figure I own.  She's spectacular.  Most Mafex releases are spectacular over the last few years, but she stands out even above Medicom's usual Mafex spectacular-ness.  Not sure she's top 5 from the past few years of Mafex, but she's definitely top 10 or 20.  The Harley Hush figure has similarly great articulation but not quite as good as Selina.

My only complaints are that the ankle pivot isn't as good as most Mafex figures are, but it's not terrible and it's about the same as all of the other Mafex females, so I'm guessing they have a limitation on their female joint articulation for now.  And she doesn't get a deep enough angle on her double-jointed elbows, but again that's true for all of the other Mafex females I have.  But the hips are divine in allowing for full splits and 180-degree kicks, so I can pretty easily pose around the slight limitations on the elbows and ankles.

All this Catwoman talk is gonna make me break her out of the display and put back on my desk

 

I sincerely hope this is to blame on angle and lighting

The faces and some of the joints don't look great to me. They just aren't up to the usual level mafex brings to the table.
