1/6 cool girl catwoman (comic version) by takara
/// CLICKETH TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT THIS PURPLE ... CATWOMAN
Do permit me to apologize a tad - for I do not have much information about the new 1/6-scaled Cool Girl CATWOMAN (COMIC VERSION) by Takara Tomy, other than that she (A) is scheduled for an August-release, and (B) has a SRP of 9,975 Yen (US$95 / SGD$129 / via)
Compared to the earlier released All-BLACK leathered CATWOMAN, the varied marked differences (and this is gonna read idiotic as one can plainly see from the images :p) are (1) the hair color and length - long-purple vs short-black-bob-ish ... (2) "Metallic"-Purple vs Black-leather ... (3) Green goggle-lens vs Purple goggle-lens ... other than that, the face-sculpt is the same (with some make-up changes) ... which I've always felt looked remarkably like the singer Basia, dunnit? (formerly from Matt Bianco and then solo artiste, and one of my earlier favs :p = Time and Tide? Promises? am i showing my age? shuddup LOL)
... and yes, the fugly headgear makes a comeback from the earlier release - which i suspect owes more to the animated Batman cartoon than the comicbooks, but that's just me [image via wiki] ... meanwhile, go read / translate a (Japanese) Interview about the creation of the figure here on the Takara Hobby-page [images via]
am personally liking the spiffy purple-get-up and knowing myself, if ever given the opportunity (screw "finance") i may just get the suit for possible kitbashes, just becoz i like the uniqueness and kitsch-kinkiness of the color, and would most probably end up having it get mouldy in a box somewhere without ever utilizing it for anything! yes, perhaps that was just a waste of time for you folks to read, but the truth is always hard to fathom, innit? raise your hands if you're in the same rickety-leaking-boat! heh.
