Wonder Woman has been around for more than 80 years. In that time, she has appeared in various magazines, starred in a live-action TV show, was featured in cartoons and even had toys made of her. Some of them were even action figures, such as her Super Powers figure. So why has McFarlane Toys taken so long to give us a classic Wonder Woman in the DC Multiverse line? There were one based on the movies, or in costumes from various storylines, but not her iconic look. Finally, we are getting Wonder Woman as she should be, star-spangled panties and all.
Hailing from the hidden island of the Amazons, Themyscria, Diana serves as their ambassador to Man’s World. Gifted with amazing strength, speed and durability. she fights for peace as Wonder Woman.
Wonder Woman is presented in her modern age/pre-Flashpoint costume. She has long black hair and is wearing a gold tiara with a red star on it. Her corset is a shiny red with her iconic gold eagle/WW logo on it. He also has a gold belt with the front having a double-W design. Her bottoms are blue with stars on them. She has red and white boots and has silver bracers on her forearms.
Her head is on a dumbbell joint and can move up, down, to the sides and tilt. Her hair does hinder the movement. Her arms are on butterfly joints at the shoulders, with a bicep swivel, double elbows and ball joints at the wrists. She has no torso articulation but has a ball joint at the waist. The legs are on hinges, with double elbows and ball joints at the ankles.
Her accessories include an axe, a sword and a shield. The axe and sword both have a silver blade and a gold handle. The shield is silver with a gold “WW’ logo on it. She has a coiled, golden lasso She has three sets of hands: two trigger/gripping hands, two fists and two open hands. She comes with the standard McFarlane stand and a collectable trading card, featuring artwork from the comics. As this is part of the McFarlane Collection Edition line, there is also a holder to display the card.
This Wonder Woman figure looks good. The proportions are good and the legs on her look better than the ones on the first WW movie figure in 2020. I don’t like that they gave us trigger figures and not normal gripping hands. Any other complaints can be applied to all McFarlane’s DC Multiverse: no thigh or boot swivel. The upside is it doesn’t break up the sculpt on her legs. Still, it can be done right, as seen with Hasbro’s Power Princess. This one is still the best Wonder Woman figure out there.
DC Multiverse McFarlane Collector Edition Wonder Woman is out now. See in stores or online for prices.
