Catwoman Purrrsday :: Baby's First (cat)Burgler

My Imaginext Catwoman I ordered from Fisher-Price.com finally arrived last week, just in time for a special announcement and a place of honor in the hallowed halls of Toyriffic....

You see, last week I discovered that come October I will be the proud papa of a new baby girl!

"YEEEEHHHHAAAAAWWWW!"

Which makes Catwoman here my baby's first superhero(villain!)

Baby of course won't be old enough to play with Catwoman for a few years, but until then Catwoman can decorate her little corner of our little home. Ya gotta raise a kid right nowadays, ya know?

Of course I also bought myself one of these awesome toys; how could I resist?!?! I must say I am very impressed with this first ever female Imaginext DC Super Friend! I sure hope they make more - a Harley Quinn would be nice!

And although she would have been totally awesome on her own, Catwoman also comes with a super cool catcycle which converts from road bike...

...to sleek street-racer for quick getaways!

And much like my Imaginext Hawkman, the details on this toy are surprisingly great for such a 'simple' design. Catwoman's mask and goggles are very comic accurate, and she's got a cute mischevious smirk.

Along with the catcycle, Catwoman came with a whip and a little kitty too! All this for six bucks?!?! Gettouttatown!

Even her fingertips are 'clawed!' Nice touch, and surprising, considering Mattels' penchant for parts re-use. There isn't much that can be reconstituted from Catwoman to make future female Super friends.

I hope that isn't a sign that we won't get any more gals in this line. I'm really glad the Imaginext line finally expanded to include a female character, and am very surprised it was Catwoman and not Wonder Woman or some other more cliche female superhero. I hope the line continues (although I don't see much marketing push for them, so I don't hold out much hope) and if the line stays Bat-centric, well so be it: bring on Batgirl, Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy etc etc, because daddy needs a new bunch of female superhero toys for his new baby girl!
