BiffPow, those are good points and the picture you posted is helpful. Although it looks like Julie to me. Her figure will also have two other expressions.
If you join the JazzInc private group and re-post your comment, they will read it and may make changes. The owner Joost always replies promptly to fans questions. And in the private group they will show advanced work-in-progress photos and sometimes JazzInc will ask fans to vote on which sculpt is best.
JazzInc now has the rights for a 1/6 Lynda Carter Wonder Woman Second Season which they are now designing and are talking with Lynda about a signature edition. And plan a 1966 Batman and Bruce Wayne 2 figure set and a 1966 Robin and Dick Grayson 1/6 set. They are now working on a 1/6 TV Bat Cave. They are also beginning to consider the Yvonne Craig Batgirl.
As far as I know, all their figures will have two or three different expressions.
You can also see the digital designs for the 1/6 Bat Cave in the JazzInc private group:

Thanks, BatToys. I don’t have a Facebook account. I don’t do social media, well, unless this board counts.
I suppose it’s as close to Julie as any other sculpt we’ve seen, so that’s a plus. And, the painting does help (really phenomenal paint job). Still, I can’t help but think that, at some point, someone on this board (perhaps someone named Chuck) will produce a likeness and we will be saying: “SEE?! THAT’S what Julie looks like!”

BiffPow, I did send JazzInc your comment and they replied they did fix the nose.

If you joined the JazzInc Dioramas private group, I'm thinking by the end of August they will show the Lynda Carter Wonder Woman head sculpt painted prototype.

Here is the licensed JazzInc Julie Newmar Catwoman I found on the Wonder Woman collectors club page. (That is not the body that will be for the figure, that generic body was just used to see how it looks.)
Re: SEE JazzInc Julie Newmar head sculpt and Lynda Carter announcement video
There is an actress (from a couple of decades back) that sculpt reminds me of, and I cannot think of her name, but it isn’t Julie Newmar.
It’s not Julianne Moore, but I think that’s still closer than Julie Newmar.

Re: SEE JazzInc Julie Newmar head sculpt and Lynda Carter announcement video
The face is very believable as a person, just not as Julie.
My humble opinion:
Julie’s upper lip is fuller than her lower lip, has a downward curve and sits a bit more forward over her lower lip;
Her chin is not squared off like the sculpt’s, and I see a slight dimple (subtle, not a cleft), on the bottom;
The sculpt’s “smile lines” make the face muscles look too defined/almost stringy. Julie’s face is softer when she smiles, and even when she’s exaggerating her smiles, the smile lines are more like dimples than straight, originating from the corners of her mouth.

Re: SEE JazzInc Julie Newmar head sculpt and Lynda Carter announcement video
Frankly, they may have better luck with the smiling sculpt if her lips were partly open and you could see a bit of her teeth. That’s what I envision when I think of Julie Newmar, as Catwoman, smiling. Might be easier to capture that uniqueness of her mouth that way. Just my opinion.

Re: SEE JazzInc Julie Newmar head sculpt and Lynda Carter announcement video
Totally agree with the above mentioned. The upper lip needs to be a bit fuller, but more so, the chin is way to squared in the sculpt. Her chin, jawline, and cheeks are way softer in real life, much harsher in the sculpt.

I remembered the actress that, to me, the sculpt resembles:
A brunette Laura Linney.

Good call, they do have very similar features.
Re: SEE JazzInc Julie Newmar head sculpt and Lynda Carter announcement video
Especially when Ms. Linney was a bit younger. There just wasn’t a photo from her younger days that I could find with a similar expression.
