I referenced Goudz just a bit ago in this thread. She squats heavy allowing for larger and more defined glutes and quads.

Muscle growth is a response to stress put on the body and what can really physically stress them to the point of muscle growth adatption.

I always thought Russell Crowes build in Gladiator was pretty much perfect for Superman.
As much as I like like Gadot in the part, ideal WW would prrob be someone a bit more big boned.. like Lucy Lawless.

Yup, I've long felt this way.

If there was a 1:6 version of this I'd be very tempted. Looks amazing.

I can't wait to receive this piece. Along with Mileena 1/3 (also from PCS) the pair represent my 1st 1/3 pieces.
By Prime 1 standards, Chun-Li 1/3 looks quite basic, and could translate to smaller scales, 1/4 and 1/6 without any issues.
..1/3 scale is going to be amazing


Mileena's biceps, not quite as defined as Chun-Li's


PCS - MILEENA 1:3 Statue – Mortal Kombat X


..Wonder Woman - fact remains, i want this statue. For the moment, i am holding off. Too much on pre_order

Eye candy, idealism and escapism.

It's why the debate over things like metal bikini armor are silly, because people are missing the point.

Understand.

Ive been pretty happy with the Marvel film version of their characters.

DC, not so much, because I just dont see the need for these padded suits they use. Cavill and Mamoa dont need them and when I see it on screen, its actually distracting and annoying to me, because all I see is... padded suit.

Or plastic pieces tied together with wires for Flash’s suit.

I don’t understand how those don’t just rip off when he’s running full speed.

Why would Wonder Woman need to have big muscles? She is a demi-goddess with strength comparable to Superman. All physics are off at that point.

She doesn't need them, it's a matter of taste. I like her with more mass, but it's not a deal breaker as I loved Gal's depiction of her.
