She's a Good and a 1/2 figure and looks great on display, but she's certainly not a perfect Catwoman action figure. I get that this isn't supposed to be a DC Icons figure with plentiful articulation, but wouldn't ball jointed ankles and wrists have given her a bit more motion without sacrificing her appearance? I'd rather DC Collectibles go with a more dynamic pose and a cool display base rather than release something beautiful on an outdated articulation model. When it comes down to the articulation, though, I'm a but underwhelmed. The sculpting and the paintwork here are just gorgeous. This is an incredible Catwoman that captures Darwyn Cooke's artwork perfectly. Let's take a closer look at her after the break.Īppearance wise, I'm really liking this figure.

I recently picked up this figure of his distinctive interpretation of Catwoman. Sadly, Cooke passed away in May of this year, and thus these figures are now a testament to the legacy of work he left behind. Currently, you can pick up figures based off of the art of Darwyn Cooke. Now they're starting to branch out and soon will be offering figures based on the art of Amanda Conner, Ant Lucia, Lee and Bermejo. That kind of fell out of favor for a while, though, but DC Collectibles slowly brought it back with their DC Designer Series of action figures based on Greg Capullo's work on Batman in the New 52. The Ed McGuinness inspired Batman/ Superman line, the Jim Lee Hush line, and the Tim Sale The Long Halloween line were all popular lines that focused on incredibly artist specific interpretations from specific stories or books. About a decade or more ago it was pretty commonplace to find DC Direct releasing artist inspired versions of popular DC characters.
