Anne Hathaway as Catwoman was something I would never have thought of for a million years.
There are hits and misses in Hollywood casting. People were baffled when Heath Ledger was cast as the Joker but it worked out perfectly but there were also tragic casting like Ryan Reynolds as Green lantern or George Clooney as Batman.
Anne Hathaway I would consider as a hit casting.
In the Dark Knight movie, she was not your traditional Catwoman we were used to, in fact she was never referred to as Catwoman. She never had the cat-like characteristics and there were only a few faint visual hints of her cattiness like the goggles that create hint as cat ears and the fact that she was a "cat burglar".
Overall, Anne played the role well even though it was more of a secondary character.
The packaging is pretty nice.
The design is in line with the feel of the movie.
The packaging is literally like a shoe box.
I think the female face is very difficult to sculpt realistically.
Even Hot Toys which is on top of their game do have difficulty pulling a realistic female sculpt.
I am not saying the sculpt is bad, in fact it is above average but just not as realistic as compared to the male counterpart sculpts.
Hot Toys tend to use rooted hair for their female characters maybe to add more realism to the figure. However this round, the hair seem to be too "puff" up which looks like Catwoman is having one bad hair day!
Not to fear because when you put on the goggles on they will push the hair down making everything look nice and in place.
The outfit fits very nicely to the body and does not restrict articulation.
The attention to details on the suit is first class...(as always)
There is another function for the goggles.
They keep her hair in place.
Catwoman is seriously lacking in accessories.
You just get additional 5 hands, a pistol, the goggles and stand.
Given that she does not carry much in the movie, I seriously doubt Hot Toys will throw in the Batpod as an accessory, but maybe they could have thrown in the maid suit...hee hee.
Even though Catwoman was not the main character in the movie I still like Anne Hathaway's portrayal of the feline character.
Overall, I like the figure because I like Anne...haha.
The figure looks the best when she is all suited up with the goggles!
