Meeting Anne Hathaway’s Catwoman in real life is impossible. Meeting Anne Hathaway herself is only marginally more likely. But what if I told you there was once a perfectly legal way to have Catwoman standing in your home—and, technically, own her? No stalking. No abduction. No criminal record. All you had to do was buy the Queen Studios Catwoman Life-Size Statue.
Actually, you know what? Even this opportunity has slipped by. All 99 units of this insanely lifelike statue have sold out. As a matter of fact, some folks have already received their copies. Like the Skeletor figure before this, it is still worth mentioning because, you know, Anne Hathaway. Plus, not everyone’s ready to drop US$11,800 for a non-articulated statue.
Anyhoo, the statue is so realistic that it will probably put the wax figures at Madame Tussauds to shame. The statue is based on Hathaway’s Selina Kyle character in Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight Rises (Warner Bros. Pictures, 2012).
The first thing you notice about this statue is the hyper-realistic portrait. The head and face have been sculpted to perfectly replicate Anne Hathaway’s facial features, featuring realistic skin textures, hand-rooted real hair, and detailed eye paintwork. The skin is made of medical-grade platinum silicone that is soft to the touch, has some level of translucency, and boasts the realistic pore depth of actual human skin under lighting.
The actress’s body shape has also been accurately recreated, and the statue is garbed in a screen-accurate costume featuring a textured catsuit, utility belt, gloved hands, high-heeled tactical boots, and her signature flip-up night-vision visor/goggles that double as cat ears.
The statue stands a glorious 2.03 meters (6.66 feet) tall, including its 70 x 66 cm (27.56 x 25.98 in) base, complete with The Dark Knight logo.
You may not be able to buy the Queen Studios Catwoman Life-Size Statue, but it is surely worth knowing the details.
