It's been quite a while since we've had a non-McFarlane, non-preschool Wonder Woman figure on the shelves. There was an under-the-radar 9.5" figure from Spin Master in 2023, but before that was 2020. That's six years without fun little off-scale Dianas filling the gaps between McFarlane releases. The DC x Sonic comic and toyline isn't something I would have expected to work so well. Mashups can be a tricky thing.. they have the potential to bring together two large fandoms. But if either one of the fandoms is misrepresented, it can easily be a double failure. I'm glad the decision to keep the DC heroes untouched while having the Sonic characters don DC costumes was a very smart move. Having Wonder Woman in animal ears would look goofy, but Amy in a star-spangled costume looks cool. It gives sidekick vibes and I love it. These hero multi-packs are unexpected. I assumed true DC action figures were already tied up in existing licenses, but apparently not. Let's check out Diana below!
Time for some Group and Comparison Pics!
Here is Wonder Woman with her pack-mate, Amy Rose as Wonder Woman.
This Amy Rose is identical to the figure from the first wave of Mystery Heroes from last year.
Here is Wonder woman alongside the Series 2 Starfire figure.
And here is Wonder Woman with two Basic Series DC figures: Justice League Wonder Woman and Mera.
They were the closest thing in size to these Jakks figures I could think of
Cheers!
