We last got a look at the upcoming Play Arts Variant DC Comics Catwoman back at Toy Fair 2015. Now Square Enix has released the first batch of official photos for the figure. This Catwoman figure is designed by Tetsuya Nomura, famed for his work on the Final Fantasy video game series. We’ll have more images and info when it becomes available.
See the new pics by reading on.

Uh... the topic title says Catwoman?
Normally I like variant figures of existing characters, since they provide you with some diversity. However, this design may be so far away from the source material that the character is no longer recognizable.
The ironic part is this:
The figure will cost extra money since it is officially catwoman and square enix has to pay licensing fees. Essentially they created some random cyborg chic with a gun - If they did not name the figure Catwoman it would have been less expensive to produce.
I think no sane mind in this world would have been able to sue them for stealing the Catwoman design with this figure!
The DC Variants, especially the Tetsuya Nomura designed ones, are basically meant to resemble the characters in just a basic sense. Nomura is essentially designing Final Fantasy version of the characters (see his Batman as a great example). These definitely aren't for everyone, but I think that's the aim.
I see the concept of these, pretty bad ass though...
Probably going to be in the $100-150 range. Too expensive for my taste, even though I like the design. Definitely better than Nomura's Batman.
