INART Catwoman 1/12 Scale Preorder Kicks Off For Black Friday
High end figure maker INART has confirmed that its 1/12 scale Catwoman from The Dark Knight Rises goes up for preorder today as part of its Black Friday event. The preorder window opens at 20:00 (8 pm) GMT+8. DCCollectors+1
The figure aims to bring sixth scale style detail down to a 1/12 footprint and includes:
- Two head sculpts
- Masked Selina Kyle
- Unmasked portrait based on Anne Hathaway
- Two hair options for different display looks
- Twelve interchangeable hands
- Swappable goggles, a pistol and a broken Batman cowl
- Themed base and clear support stand for dynamic posing global.inart.studio
Why this is a big deal
INART is known for hyper detailed mixed media figures. Moving that approach into 1/12 makes this Catwoman a serious centrepiece even on a smaller shelf, and it adds another premium option for collectors who focus on Nolan era Batman.
Collector note
This release is primarily targeted at China, Australia and New Zealand direct from INART, with other regions likely relying on import shops. If you want one, set an alarm for the preorder window and keep an eye on your usual retailers. global.inart.studio+1
Pokemon China Dream Painting Collect 151 Figurine Sets Release
Pokemon China is launching the Dream Painting Collection Collect 151 figurine sets today, priced at 88 yuan per blind box. Each box includes:
- One random Pokemon figure based on artwork from the Scarlet and Violet 151 card set
- A matching holographic card that recreates the original illustration
- Two Collect 151 Journey slim booster packs with five cards each Imagined Youth Collectibles+3Facebook+3PokéBeach+3
The figures are sculpted to mimic the brush strokes and composition of the original card art, so they feel like the Pokemon has stepped straight out of the card frame. Pocket Collection+1
Why collectors should care
This is a clean crossover between TCG and display pieces. You are not just getting a random vinyl, you are getting a mini diorama that directly mirrors a known card, plus sealed product in the same box. For Pokemon and card art fans, this sits nicely between card collecting and figure collecting.
Collector tip
Because these are region specific and tied to the simplified Chinese print run of Scarlet and Violet 151, overseas fans will likely need to go through import sites or specialty retailers. Watch for early stock at TCG focused shops that carry Chinese product. Pocket Collection+2Facebook+2
LEGO Bluey Sets Hit Shelves
LEGO has confirmed that its Bluey range has now landed at retail, with multiple sets based on the hit animated series. The 2025 line covers several 4+ sets, two DUPLO sets and a smaller polybag, bringing the Heeler family and friends into brick form. Brick Fanatics
Why it fits the niche
Bluey is huge in family and kid focused pop culture, and LEGO tie ins are the kind of evergreen line that often turns into long running collectible themes. Even if you are not a hardcore LEGO collector, Bluey sets sit nicely alongside wider TV and animation displays.
Buying tip
Because these are general retail sets, availability should be good, but early boxes can move quickly in holiday season. If you want them for photos or content, grab them before January set refreshes compete for shelf space. Brick Fanatics

The Thing With Feathers Opens In Cinemas
The Thing With Feathers, a British drama with strong psychological horror vibes, arrives in theaters today in the US and continues rolling out internationally. Movie Insider+2YouTube+2
The film is adapted from Max Porter’s novel Grief Is the Thing with Feathers and follows a widower, played by Benedict Cumberbatch, who is trying to raise his two young sons after the sudden death of his wife. Their home life is invaded by a giant crow that may or may not be real, acting as a disturbing manifestation of grief that haunts the family. Roger Ebert+2Wikipedia+2
Why it matters for genre fans
- Mixes family drama with eerie, almost creature feature imagery
- Cumberbatch already has strong genre credentials through Doctor Strange and other roles
- Early festival buzz highlighted its strange tone and emotional intensity
This one sits in that same space as things like The Babadook or Hereditary, where horror imagery is used to explore trauma rather than simple jump scares.
Watch tip
If you are in the mood for something heavy and atmospheric rather than light popcorn horror, this looks like a good weekend choice. Check local listings, as it may lean toward arthouse and premium cinemas first. Roger Ebert+1
Prep and Landing: The Snowball Protocol Arrives On Disney Plus
Disney’s Prep and Landing franchise returns with a new Christmas special titled Prep and Landing: The Snowball Protocol. It premiered yesterday on Disney Channel and starts streaming on Disney Plus today, with further runs on ABC and Freeform as part of the holiday schedule. Decider+3Wikipedia+3Disney++3
The special once again focuses on elite North Pole elves Wayne and Lanny, throwing them into another high stakes Christmas mission, this time tied to the Snowball Protocol storyline.
Why it is worth a look
- Nice counterweight to the darker stuff like The Thing With Feathers
- Fits neatly into the modern Christmas rotation alongside the classic Prep and Landing specials
- Great for background viewing while sorting your actual holiday hauls and toy displays
Viewing tip
If you are in the UK, check Disney Plus for the listing under the new specials row. US viewers also have linear airings sprinkled across the weekend, so it is easy to catch even without streaming. Disney++2Wikipedia+2
