SDCC 13 Exclusive Catwoman “Batman ‘66” Barbie Doll by Mattel & DC Comics

San Diego Comic-Con 2013 Exclusive Catwoman “Batman ‘66” Barbie Doll by Mattel & DC Comics

DC Comics’ Caped Crusader has met his match…the purr-fectly beguiling Catwoman Barbie doll by Mattel! Catwoman’s acrobatic skills and seductive style have been featured in Batman comic books, the live action television show, blockbuster movies and multiple animated series, and now Barbie doll takes on the role of this famous DC Comics character at San Diego Comic-Con 2013 by wearing a re-creation of the iconic Batman 1966 Classic TV Series costume, complete with mask and cat ears!

I don’t know how 2013 was decided as the comeback year for the original live action Batman television series, but man is it coming back in a big way! The Blot has always had a soft spot in my heart for Adam West’s Batman and it feels good to see his campy series in the spotlight again. The San Diego Comic-Con 2013 Exclusive Catwoman “Batman ‘66” Barbie Doll can be purchased at the Mattel SDCC booth, with any remaining stock made available for purchase after the convention at MattyCollector.com on August 5, 2013.

For those of us not able to attend SDCC, you can pre-order the Julie Newmar inspired Catwoman Barbie doll from Entertainment Earth for $38.99 here.
