Based on Jim Lee's artwork from Hush (written by Jeph Loeb)
For at least the past year, GameStop and its subsidiary ThinkGeek have partnered with DC Comics to sell a wide variety of Jim Lee-branded merchandise. Since 2019 is Batman's 80th anniversary and since Lee illustrated Jeph Loeb's Hush, one of the most-acclaimed Batman stories ever, GameStop commissioned a series of exclusive statues based on Lee's depictions of Gothamites. Batman, Catwoman, and Joker were based on their appearances in Hush. Batgirl is based on a splash page from All-Star Batman & Robin, The Boy Wonder. Harley Quinn is based on Lee's cover for Rebirth Suicide Squad Issue 4. The statues share a common circular base.
I went to a local GameStop store today and picked up Batgirl, Batman, Catwoman, and Joker. It appears that Harley Quinn has not reached many stores yet, though she's available online.
The packaging is rather basic, though I prefer the use of one plastic window instead of Diamond Select Toys's four plastic windows, which make a box structurally weak. The statue is made of plastic and comes in two pieces. A plastic peg on the bottom of Catwoman's right boot fits into the base; the other foot rests off the base on the display surface.
Unlike Batman, Catwoman fits smoothly and easily into her base.
I measured Catwoman from the top of her head to the bottom of her butt, her thigh, and her lower leg. She's about 7.5-inches tall, or 5-foot, 7.5-inches tall "in real life". The overall height is 6.5 inches to the top of her cat ears.
Given the price, excellent QC, and close re-creation of an iconic pose, this is certainly a good deal.
