This figure was a surprise to me on several levels. Firstly, I never expected a classic Priscilla Rich version of Cheetah to be made in the DC Mulitverse line. A more modern Barbara Minerva version with her savage feral appearance seems much more like the McFarlane aesthetic. Secondly, I fully expected to hate this figure based on the leaked photos. Even after finding her at GameStop and seeing her first hand, my hopes were dismally low. Her awkward in-package pose makes her head look tiny and her feet look huge. But when I got her in my photo tent, my judgement waned and I kind of fell in love. Sure, I only like her unexpressive face, and her re-used upper thighs (with an obvious Catwoman boot-line) is annoying, but overall I still think she's great. With McFarlane winding down the DC lines, it's surprising to get characters like Cheetah and Jayna (and the upcoming Zatanna, Black Canary, Jessica Cruz, and Ice). It's a pretty impressive roster, and I'm excited for it. Let's check out Cheetah below!
Cheetah comes with a Collector's Card, a figure stand, and four hands.
She also comes with three interchangeable faceplates.
Here is her head with no face.
Time for some Group and Comparison Pics!
Here are the two recent McFarlane Cheetahs: DC Super Friends and DC Page Punchers.
And here she is with the recent First Appearance Wonder Woman 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.
