Moebius Models has released a Catwoman action figure kit based on actress Julie Newmar, who played the role in the first two seasons of the 1960s Batman live action series starring Adm West. The figure is 9 inches tall when completed and bears the retro catsuit style Newmar made famous before Eartha Kitt or Michelle Pfeiffer. The scale model kit comes with Catwoman's iconic whip and cat pistols as well as gold cat statues and a Bat Cave rock for posing.
This Julie Newmar Catwoman action figure is a beguiling piece of nostalgia from the Batman's earlier days. Newmar's Catwoman was mysterious, glamorous and clever, and this collectible model kit is the perfect edition to any collection of Catwoman memorabilia, classic or modern.
