Favorite Bombshells Wonder Woman Statue

All three were based on artwork by Ant Lucia.

The Regular and Holiday Variant were sculpted by Tim Miller. The Deluxe Tank was sculpted by Chris Dahlberg.

Regular, Holiday, Deluxe

Just in case anyone thinks that the Deluxe Tank statue looks artificially bigger than the other two, please note that Bombshells statues are usually between 11- and 12-inches tall (including the base). The Deluxe Tank statue is about 18-inches tall from the bottom of the base to the tip of the sword.

Here's a picture posted by Augen for reference:

I love the deluxe and am really surprised to see it drop in price so much . I keep an eye out for the original , but it seems to never be in range I want. The holiday one does nothing for me.

For sure. Its that the Tank one is on a base that is slanted, and the statue standing on that point of that elevation plus, she wields a sword, making her look much taller. But if you just take a look at the statue only, without the base and sword, they are on equal footing when it comes to their heights.

I never liked that first WW they did (If it was there first that is). Her face just reminds me of the joker hehehe

It's taken me a while to get used to seeing Wonder Woman with bangs, but I do like seeing the sword arm raised up high as if she were leading a charge.

Well, those aren't DC Collectibles statues, though I like the Rock Candy more than any other version of Bombshells Wonder Woman.

Betty Grable wasn't the most ravishing creature, but she was iconic for her "gams" and defined the era. I'll stick with the first version.

WW isn't my favorite either, but it was more the "cankles" she has than the face. Plus part of her broken chain was missing when I got her and I didn't realize it until months later. It was the first one shipped, and it's fine. But that's about it.
