I've owned this figure for three years with little to no desire to open her. The majority of the female figures in the McFarlane DC Multiverse line have been great. I only consider there to be a few duds; Gotham Knights Batgirl, Punchline, and this Crime Syndicate Superwoman. In many ways I view this figure to be the most egregious because she is a very cool character who seems like and easy translation into toy form. But her uncharacteristic short haircut, bland face, and lack of her signature yellow cape just seemed like a confusing series of choices. I know this is representative of a very specific period in comics, the Infinite Frontier storyline to be exact, and that this is actually a multiverse version of Donna Troy (instead of Diana or Lois like all her previous incarnations) but the figure still seems off. Interestingly, the Donna Troy Wonder Girl figure looks more like an Earth-3 Superwoman than this one. But in its defense, this figure has a very impressive base sculpt. Let's check out Superwoman below!
Superwoman comes with the main mouthpiece and upper tentacle of the Collect-to-Build Starro the Conqueror. She also comes with a small Starro Spore clone that can be attached to the human figures.
So I couldn't resist a little customizing on this figure.
The next two pics have some slightly tweaked facepaint (bigger, redder lips and eyeliner to make her eyes looks bigger) and I added the cape from the 1991 Kenner Batman Returns Robin (the Marlon Wayans one). I was hoping to find a cheap McFarlane Robin with a black and yellow cape, but this will suffice for now.
Time for some Group and Comparison Pics!
Here are all my Superwomen. From Left to Right: DCUC Mattel 2011, HeroClix Trinity War (2015), New52 DC Collectibles (2014), Justice League Unlimied Mattel (2009), McFarlane (2022), BootLego, Classic DC Direct (2002), HeroClix Legacy (2005), Eaglemoss Chess (2014), and Forever Evil Chibis (2015).
Cheers!
