The only true Catwoman is Julie Newmar, Lee Meriwether, or Eartha Kitt.

Love MMC. Love Azim. Love this project.

These pics remind me of the vampire episode of TF:Prime, when Arachnid gets stuck on one of Cybertron's moons with the Insecticons.

If that's the Tigris mold she's sitting on, it's really got me thinking the mold might be too big to fit in with classics. Or is that just a really awkward shot of Catilla holding her way up in the air like a cheerleader ?

Heavily guessing someone enlarged and photoshoped Feral Queen in this pic. Seriously doubt Feral Queen is taller than Felisaber.

Don't think Feral Queen is Ultra or Voyager toy scale. Guessing Feral Queen is Deluxe scale.

No, Agamemnon. You're not dating yourself.

And I agree, Silverhammer. Tjose three were purr-fect.

And she looks pretty neat, here. I might get her and stick her with my TFSS Slipstream on my Classics shelves.

I agree with you guys. The three original TV show Catwomen were the best. I think Julie Newmar was the best, but something about Eartha Kitt's name and voice that just says, "Catwoman!"

X: Felisaber should be close to the Tigris mold, which stands just a shade shorter than Classics/Generations Doubledealer/Blitzwing. Or are you talking about Feral Queen? (And now that I think about it, did you get Tigris yet? I think delivery is close...) In that case, I think Tsut might be correct. I see signs of what could be Photoshopping in the pic. Or it could also just be perspective. However, if she was bigger than Arcee, I think I could be okay with that too.

It's the same base-mold as their other fembots, so she's definitely not going to be bigger than them - I think it's just the perspective of the picture that gives the illusion of a larger size.

its not that often im in the MMC camp, but im totally digging this. though i want to see a closer-to-finished proto of this gal.

Have no interest in buying weird looking non-1986 looking Arcee toys at 3rd party prices.

If I wanted a weird and ugly non-1986 Arcee toy i'd buy a few HasTak ones at the fraction of the price from Energon, TFA or the Bay-verse.

The HasTak 30th deluxe Arcee will be the toy I buy at a fraction of the 3rd party toys cost.

I have no idea why you think this is competing in any way with Arcee....

A theory about the size: Maybe it's a Three-up (a test shot produced at 3 times the planned production size to test the engineering)?

Also, even as someone in the TFC camp for Predaking...I kinda want that Catilla. That tiger visor...

The Azalea testshot shown, which we've been using to promote the Feral Queen project, is not a new mold or upsized. It was made back around late spring 2013. The camera angle is just throwing off her really size in that photo. Its the exact same testshot shown in my other Facebook photos, and was present at the Renderform/MMC table at Botcon this year.

Thanks for clearing that up. Camera trickery like that....making things look really big....I'm thinking of a Bret Favre moment...

Sorry, I should come back around to this. The last I heard there are plans to move forward with Feral Queen. Any change? Will she be only a convention exclusive? (As I recall, I think only a particular head was going to be the convention exclusive.)

I don't know why. Normally I am only interested in established characters in the 3P realm. But I really want Feral Queen to pose on my Feral Rex shoulder...

Feral Queen is being released. At the moment, her expected release is spring 2015. She will come with a new head, based on the prototype we've shown since Botcon. But it'll be modified to be able to transform. The current design is too big with its spikes and horns, to allow proper transformation. She will be really limited. I'm not sure if it'll be a convention exclusive yet. I have suggested to MMC to release her, or at least make some available through PlanetSteel Express, so everyone has a chance to get her directly. In the end, its MMC's decision, as they know the market better.

Very disappointing if it's super limited . They should make it limited like UT vintage Maniking so it get around a bit .

News Credits: 4 · Fri Oct 10, 2014 7:32 pm

What exactly is this feral queen? Is it suppose to be a Arcee character or someone else? Assume it's arcee based off the design.

What up with those other Fembots that MMC is releasing? Will their be a regular MMC Arcee and then another sculpted MMC Feral queen Arcee toy?
Is this Feral queen a resculpt based off the regular Fembot arcee that MMC is also releasing.

What scale will Feral Queen be? Deluxe? Voyager?

This is why it's going to be important for everyone who wants a Feral Queen to be vocal and show their support. As MMC feels the actual demand for her is small, due to Feral Queen being a brand new character, and not based on an existing one. I already talked them into increasing numbers for her, and I think shes currently going to be double Stealth Azalea's run. MMC does follow the online forums, so if they see a proper demand, they will look into making a larger run. But if theres only 3-5 people on each board just showing support, she'll end up being a smaller run.

If I take a picture of myself in a cheerleader outfit cheering for MMC to make Feral Queen, would that help?

Or maybe if I threaten to post myself in a cheerleader outfit...

best idea ever:
get feral queen, get a tiny cheerleader outfit, and pose her cheering for predaking.

I'm 100% on board for Feral Queen.

Sat Oct 11, 2014 1:58 am

Okay, let me just reiterate that I am TOTALLY down to own a Feral Queen. I like the idea of using PSX to order (even if it means the shipping is a little wonky). Do like they did with the Bluster and Trench set, have a preorder period of about a month. I think this is fair: no reason to make it a convention exclusive if this is really a product being made because FANS requested it. Because as a con exclusive, it goes to a select group of fans and then scalpers. F(eral) that!

PS - I want a Feral Queen in my collection.

this.

i would totally go to whatever retailer that had the exclusive rights to this, and barring some insane 300+ pricetag, would totally buy.
