The jacket "vest" does easily slide off, just needs a little arm-twisting and it comes off.

Hey Wally,

The Sandman suit buck MIGHT be anchored to the jacket in the shoulder blades, because of the cape. Be careful.

It is glued at the seam of the jacket lapels. There is more plastic underneath that area, so you may need to gently slice it open with an xatco. MATTEL is a little variable as to how much glue gets used per figure.

I love that Eartha Kitt Catwoman. She'd make a great variant, if Mattel got the rights to her likeness. I didn't know Eartha's & Julie Newmar's bodies and costumes were so similar that the one buck body would be interchangeable, though.

Thanks, Wally!

Eartha Kitt wore her necklace higher on her chest, but other than that, the costumes looked identical.

Thank you so much! It's hard to sculpt a nose in that scale!

I'm frozen!

In the meanwhile, I built my favorite model ever:
