Review: Marvel Legends – Squadron Supreme Power Princess (Void BAF Wave)

Do you ever wish for a DC and Marvel Comics collaborative toy line? Back in the 1970s, we had the MEGO’s 12-inch and 8-inch World’s Greatest Super Heroes line. There was even the smaller Pocket Heroes line. Sure, they both have their toy lines, but McFarlane’s DC Multiverse does not scale with Hasbro’s Marvel Legends, and their proportions are slightly off. Todd is also not big on female figures. Hasbro has perfected their female buck and has one for taller female characters. If McFarlane won’t give us a decent Wonder Woman, why not have Hasbro give it a try? They sort of do, with the release of Power Princess in the Marvel Legends line.

Power Princess first appeared in Defenders issue 112 (1982). She was a pastiche of the DC Comics character Wonder Woman and was a part of Marvel’s Justice League analog, the Squadron Supreme (created in 1971.) She was Zarda, Princess of Utopia Isle, a hidden isle in the South Seas. Calling herself Power Princess, she became Utopia’s ambassador to the outside world. She, alongside the Squadron Supreme, was on an alternate Earth, separate from the main Marvel Universe, though they often met and clashed. She has super strength, speed, reflexes and can fly. She can also drain life force. There have been several versions of this character, with this figure resembling the Heroes Reborn version.

Power Princess is made with Hasbro’s muscular, tall female buck. She is a Caucasian female with black hair, gold tiara, and blue eyes. She is wearing a blue and gold strapless one-piece suit. Her legs are bare except for her kneepads and her blue and gold boots. She has blue and gold bracers and a gold circlet around her neck.

For articulation, her head is on a ball joint on a hinge, allowing movement up and down, side to side, and has full rotation. Her arms are on ball joints at the shoulder, with a bicep swivel, pinless double elbows and removable hinged hands. She has a torso cut underneath her breasts which allows movement forwards and back as well as side to side. Her legs are on ball pins with an upper thigh swivel, double knees, and rocker ankles.

For accessories, Power Princess has a sword and shield. The sword has a silver blade with a gold hilt and a red gem painted on it. The shield is gold throughout. She has alternate hands, a right fist and a left open hand, in addition to the set of gripping hands on the figure. Finally, she comes with the legs of The Void Build a Figure.

Next to Mattel’s DC Multiverse DC Rebirth Wonder Woman (2018)

Power Princess is the best Wonder Woman figure that is not Wonder Woman. Figures like this make you think what it would be like if Hasbro had the DC license. We’d be overcharged, that’s for sure. The articulation is awesome, with the only complaint being no butterfly shoulder joints, but she works well as is. This figure is sure to inspire someone to make a customized WW from this figure, and I have seen at least one online. She’ll also look great with the two previously released Squadron Supreme two packs (Hyperion and Dr. Spectrum, and Nighthawk and Blur.) Either way, she is a great addition to your collection.
