There is a big 90 degree notch in her shoulder, it looks horrible. And then there's the head that looks like it's trying to pull the exorcise

That image represents least ideal angle to look at Wonder Woman posted so far. I'd still be tempted by the piece at $200

A good sculpted statue should look great from any angle. With this statue you have to have bright lights on it so you don't notice the harsh sculpting of her muscles on her arms and you have to angle it just perfect so you can't see the messed up shoulders.

In my book that's a fail... I know there were a few sculptors on this statue so I don't know if Harbottle did the shoulders/arms or not but whoever did jacked it up IMO.

Ha ha, I agree, there is something horrible here, the pic is horrible. Hello lens distortion.
Sorry, but the (muscular) shoulders are anatomically correct, and the head is ok too. At the limit, yes. But when you see what can do a contortionist with his or her body, nothing seems impossible .
I own this statue, and she is a beauty, under every angle you choose. And I never get tired of admiring her side head.

Same, its a masterpiece. Only wish the back had been fully sculpted in so ww could be displayed with or without the shield

Try to justify it all you like, although I'm not sure you can justify a 90 degree notch in her shoulder... whether or not it's anatomically correct it looks bad , as for the picture it actually looks like that, take off her shield and strap and take a picture.
