DC Superheroes Itty Bitty: Catwoman

Today's reviewed critter dates back to when I started really collecting, in 2016. This is Catwoman, from Hallmark's Itty Bitty collection of soft toys, aka plushies. Catwoman first appeared in the comic Batman issue 1, all the way back in 1940, where she was called simply The Cat, and spends the entire story in disguise. She doesn't appear in costume until Batman issue 3. Her catsuit goes through numerous incarnations, and this one is one of her grey outfits used largely in the late eighties and early nineties. Let's take a look at her:

The most recognisable aspect is the cat ears, with the mask covering the top half of her face, her yellow belt, and black on most of her arms and on the bottom of her torro representing her long gloves and thigh-high boots. If we turn her around, we can see another cat-like feature:

Her tail.  And so, we have Catwoman.

Her look is a little out-dated - although not as much as the purple dress with the green cape - and it probably isn't so recognizable as the black leather. But I suppose Hallmark could be holding the black in reserve for if/when the DC Cinematic 'verse brings her in. That said, I like her. I like her very much. She's cute, easily recognisable as who she's meant to be, and a well-made little toy.

Let's have a closer look at her tag.

The other side has the Hallmark logo. I wouldn't say it's the most exciting thing, but I do appreciate the manufacturer's marks.

Other thing worth noting is a little thing on her tail.

There's a fissure in the printed stuff that makes up her tail. Pretty sure that's happened since I got her. It's tiny, and scarely noticeable, but you can see how there's printed detail unlike the embroidered detail on the face.

So, that's my first itty bitty reviewed, and also the first itty bitty I bought.and I do really, really like her. She's soft and snuggly, and a beautiful interpretation of a classic character.
