Now, unless you're Universal's <i><a href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/yo\/ummmwolf.php\">The Wolf Man<\/a><\/i>, you can't set a story in the '40s and ignore the fact there was a war going on. But just because you're from an Axis country, it doesn't mean you're an Axis sympathizer.<\/p>\n<p>In this reality, Catwoman is \"Selina Digatti,\" an Italian high-society countess and socialite (who just happens to use her position and access to run an international smuggling ring). She's not directly affiliated with the Axis, but has no particular interest in helping the Allies either... until something she steals in one of her capers changes her mind.<\/p>\n<p>Selina is a classy dame, so she's not half naked. She's not even <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/funko_dcbsmm1_cw2.jpg\" title=\"original art\" width=\"265\" height=\"335\" align=left style=\"margin:0px 5px\">in the process of getting dressed (which, in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/funko_dcbsmm1_cw3.jpg\">a few of the concept designs<\/a>, she was). She's wearing a slinky black dress and garters with stockings. Are the opera gloves to keep from leaving any prints, or just to make her look fashionable? Yes! Her hair is under a purple wrap of some sort that I think was supposed to have a bow on the back (acting as cat ears) but instead just has an inexplicable pair of cat ears (acting as nothing). Was the diamond-studded cat pin not enough? Or the cat eye glasses? She's armed with a whip, but isn't holding any kind of purloined jewelry in her right hand. Most disappointing of all, you can't see her pussy - in the art and on the statue, it was draped lazily around her shoulders, something perfectly befitting a cat lover like herself.<\/p>\n<div class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Posts\"><H5>&lt;i&gt;And now, some more OAFEry:&lt;\/i&gt;<\/H5><ul class=\"entry-meta\"><li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"Batman vs. Pennywise\" href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/2018\/08\/batman-vs-pennywise\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Batman vs. Pennywise<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"Universal Monsters Mystery Minis - black and white Dracula exclusive review\" href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/2019\/10\/universal-monsters-mystery-minis-black-and-white-dracula-exclusive-review\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Universal Monsters Mystery Minis - black and white Dracula exclusive review<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"Soon Forget: Total Justice Oracle\" href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/2011\/11\/soon-forget-total-justice-oracle\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Soon Forget: Total Justice Oracle<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"Disney Afternoon Mystery Minis - Darkwing Duck review\" href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/2019\/02\/disney-afternoon-mystery-minis-darkwing-duck-review\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Disney Afternoon Mystery Minis - Darkwing Duck review<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"Flippin' Through Previews - February '09\" href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/2009\/02\/flippin-through-previews-february-09\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Flippin' Through Previews - February '09<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&lt;i&gt;And now, some more OAFEry:&lt;\/i&gt;Rustin's Spoils of the Week #207 The pure chaos of Funko Riddler reviews Rustin's Spoils of the Week #145 DC Bombshells Mystery Minis - Raven exclusive review Minimate Mini-Review #9 - Joker &#038; Harley Quinn<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[19,27,250],"tags":[52,375,291],"class_list":["post-31206","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-blog-exclusive-review","category-dc","category-funko","tag-batman","tag-bombshells","tag-mystery-minis"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31206","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=31206"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31206\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":44512,"href":"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31206\/revisions\/44512"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=31206"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=31206"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=31206"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
