McFarlane Toys has made a lot of Wonder Woman figures in the last five years. I personally own twelve, and I skipped a lot of variants and retools. Aside from a super classic bronze age design, my most wanted was always a first appearance figure was always top of my wish list. Her early stories in Sensation Comics and Wonder Woman are iconic and her costume is still instantly recognizable after 80 years of redesigns. I'm always a little surprised that there aren't more collectibles featuring this look. My historical knowledge of 1940's Wonder Woman is a little scant, but I gather that different artists interpreted her as wearing either a star-spangled skirt or short culottes, but I think I prefer the skirt interpretation for this figure. The only odd thing about this figure is that she is very tall. I feel that Wonder Woman's stature has gradually increased over the years, but I usually don't associate this First Appearance design with towering Amazonian height. She looks awesome, but looks odd in a lineup. Let's check her out below!
Wonder Woman comes with three pairs of hands, a figure stand, and a collector card.
Time for some Group and Comparison Pics!
Here is Wonder Woman with her DC Direct figure from 2004.
And here she is with the McFarlane Comic Wonder Woman from 2023.
They share the same general body construction.
And here she is with the recent Page Punchers Cheetah figure. Cheetah uses the same body as Knightfall Catwoman, Jade, Fire, etc. I think the reason this Cheetah looks so tiny in comparison is that she is the first figure using this mold that has flat feet and no hair. Plus, this Wonder Woman buck is really tall.
Cheers!
