FYI: Although you can display the sword inside of the shield like you've shown, there's also a slot for the sword on the back of the base, or at least that's what I used it for
As always great video review....

Something like Milliput would do the trick to fill the gap, but the real challenge would be paint matching the original application and applying it in a manner that would result in a seamless look. Not easy to do.

I have zero experience with it but I've seen others use apoxie sculpt for something like this. And you would need to sand/paint after being done.

This is one instance where less would be more. The EX should of just been the different bodice not a switch out.

A quick Google search for 1/6 scale choker necklaces shows some options designed for Phicen bodies that might present a cover-up solution...????

Moot point.
I can't think of a company that's done a switch out portrait of Wonder Woman for probably this exact reason. Still, I'm very happy with mine.

I thought that the Secret Sanctuary review was great and did really show the statue off well. I am getting the impression that not everyone has the seam issue. I have to say that I did not purchase this and even if this would go on sale on Entertainment Earth like the Supergirl statue did last November (down to $104) I still would not purchase this because of the seam.

Sounds good to me but if you want that classic look it doesn't really fit.

Seam is too high. Chokers are usually mid throat or slightly lower.
The only way to get past the seam is to display it lower than eye level and depending how low you may only have a couple narrow angles on the horizontal axis where it's not too visible.
The other options are to choose a bodice and seal it permanently with something like Apoxie sculpt- or just mentally get over your statues having that articulated action figure head look.
