Batman 66 Villains and Henchmen

The Joker from Batman 66 has a lot of different henchmen in the many different times he appears on the Batman TV show and movie.  I decided to do at least six of three different types.  I am using this chart so that each figure will have a different combination of colors for his shirt, vest, hat, and pants.  
I am also making henchmen for Catwoman, and the Riddler.  My plan is that each major Villain will get at least 6 henchmen and usually a moll.  The Riddler had henchmen wearing gas masks in one episode so I am doing a team of them with gasmasks from Fujimi WWII German figures.  Riddler wore a gas mask shaped like an elephant head, you can see him in the upper left of this photo.
I am doing models of all three Catwomen.  Why are there three Catwomen? An in-universe explanation. The Catwoman is a title, not a person. When the Kitty Katt Gang chooses a leader it is always a woman. If the leader dies, or is in prison, or is otherwise unavailable, a new leader is put into place. I submit that there are three factions of the Kitty Katt Gang. The Tuxedo Cats, the Black Cats, and the Tiger Cats factions. Each of these three control one faction, but will take over another faction or all three if there is a vacancy. Julie gets the Tiger Cats, Eartha gets the Black Cats, and Lee the Tuxedo Cats. That's my idea.
Catwoman Lee, Riddler #1, Penguin, and MR Freeze.  I signify each Catwoman by title and first name.  The two Riddlers are designated #1 for Gorshin and #2 for Astin.
Catwoman Ertha in front, and Catwoman Julie in the background.  The lighting and focus are not optimal so both look a bit off.
Catwoman Julie receives her ears.  I cut a slice across her head, then insert a plastic tab with a little super glue gel.  Then I cut the ears down to fit, and paint the ears.  Much easier and stronger than putting them in one at a time.
Catwoman Lee.
Three Catwoman in a row, with their henchmen.  Tuxedo, Black, and Tiger Cats.
Project as I work on it, lower left, Pinky Pinkston and Apricot her dog.  Penguin henchmen in black.  Joker Henchmen in three rows of six each and Joker in toffee color with white head.  Joker moll with yellow paper in front.  Colorful Joker henchmen in three rows.  The three Catwoman figures with their 6 each cats.  The TV show used the Tiger motif, but I added the other two factions so I could use all three Catwoman characters together at the same time, each with a unique set of henchmen.  
First row is Egghead, with his 6 henchmen, I think he only had two in the show.  And four Riddler figures, Riddler #1 in elephant gas mask; in suit, in plaid suit, and as Riddler #2 with cane.  Various Molls in progress, and King Tut in the back in blue.  Dark Alliance Vampire figures in the upper left corner.
