Be@rbrick Series 24 – Anne Hathaway Catwoman
Here is a preview of the new Be@rbirck Series 24 line only available in Japan through the Medicom website. The one very special figure that stands out from the up coming series in 100% Be@rbrick’s which is mostly an artist collection is an Anne Hathaway Catwoman variation. Part of the epic Batman saga from Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight Rises. I was very excited to see this piece it is very much on point with the original characteristic of the film. But out of the series I think it has to be the best one the others are meh. What do you think? Series 24 will drop in the next week! Check out more pictures below.
