Title: Catwoman
Post by: Slant on May 22, 2004, 10:59:12 PM

I have seen pics of some sort of exclusive clix based on the Halle Berry version of Catwoman.  Is this a for-real thing, or just sick pup's way of trying to legitamize this whole movie debacle?

This is unfortunately a real thing. The fig is larger than the others, I think, so you can't actually use it in games. I don't know why they tapped Wizkids for a display fig, but there you go.

they tapped Whizkids because whoever the heck makes their action figures sucks donkey. DC heroes action figures are some of the worst ones out there. Sure, the ones based on the cartoons look relatively decent (at least, they look like the cartoons) but have a grand total of 5 points of articulation (shoulders, "hips," and neck). The modeling on the ones based on the comic books are terrible. I bought an Impulse for all of $1.50, and I feel like I wasted cash.

having ranted on that, and then being curious, I looked at wizkids for the figure, and I"m sorry. Maybe it's just impossible to make a figure for DC Comics that doesn't look like a monkey pooped it out and then flung it across the room.

Well now you can get said figure, and it's playable

all you need to do is by a DC starterset and send out for the fig.
