This is the DC Universe Classics Wonder Woman, released way back in wave 4.
The first lady of superheoism is a must have for any DC Universe Classics collector. In addition to her Wave 4 release, I think she has also been re-released in one of the "All Star" waves. That doesn't mean she's been easy to find, DCUC distribution is legendary in it's failings, but at least collectors have had a couple shots at her so far.
Wonder Woman has her iconic look, complete with her lasso of truth (non removable) and as a bonus she came with a battle-axe and shield. Nice extras that give her a little more gravitas on your toy shelf.
Of course she looks just fine without them, and is ready to hand anyone their ass who says otherwise.
Having recently blogged about Black Canary, Power Girl and Hawkgirl, I realized in all this time I hadn't blogged about the one who started it all; the greatest female superhero of all time!
Sing it with me, kids:
Wonder Woman!
Wonder Woman!
All the world's waiting for you,
and the power you possess.
In your satin tights,
Fighting for your rights
And the old Red, White and Blue.
Wonder Woman!
Wonder Woman!
Now the world is ready for you,
and the wonders you can do.
Make a hawk a dove,
Stop a war with love,
Make a liar tell the truth.
Wonder Woman!
Get us out from under, Wonder Woman!
All our hopes are pinned upon you.
And the magic that you do.
Stop a bullet cold,
Make the Axis fold,
Change their minds, and change the world.
Wonder Woman! Wonder Woman!
You're a wonder, Wonder Woman!
My daughter tends to buy any Wonder Woman she comes across....she loves her female action figures!
ReplyDeleteI was considering to get a wonder woman too. LOL What she lacking is the rope.
ReplyDeleteNice find, I never even saw these in the first release and so far still no sightings in the all star release.
ReplyDeleteThat face is very naturalistic, but her articulations are so undisguised they make her look like Wonder Robot.
ReplyDeleteMight be worth picking up as a drawing reference, though.
verification word: Winarchy: a form of government where the person with the best video game ranking rules all.
Female action figures have come along why from the days of Adventure People and Star Wars that is for sure lol.
ReplyDelete"Silly MOCK, action figures are for boys!" ;)
ReplyDeleteLEon, she has the rope, it's just a plastic loop glued to her hip ;)
CB, I found her when distribution matched demand. Seems like forever ago.
Arkonbey, I agree. I am of the camp of "less is more" in regards to articluation, especially for female figures.
jboy, they have indeed :)
That is one cool figure - like the shield too.
ReplyDeleteAlways regretted not getting WW as part of my Kenner Super Powers as a kid...
She's hard to find? Didn't know that. Typical Mattel making the female figures rare. Glad I got her when I did
