Have always loved the character- even going back to when I was a kid and asked for the Mego doll for Christmas (which made my step-father have an apoplectic fit).

I was greatly disappointed and frustrated when the first SS PF was revealed. Didn't care for the representation at all. So I passed on it.

Now there are a slew of options all hitting at a similar time from various companies at various price points. But while there are things I love about each, none so far have been a complete home run for me.

Sometimes, like with the new SS PF, the sculpting and eye for certain aspects are outstanding- but I'm just not crazy about the physique choice (mostly the tree trunk muscular legs) or the now typical SS redesign of the costume (bodice portion). Part of me loves the statue as a general whole, but at $600 shipped I really need to love all of it down to the specific details.

With Tweeterhead, I kind of hate the one leg up pose, but the classic look (though they botched the Ex eagle bodice) and price point are both great.

XM's looks mostly cool (love the portrait) but I don't like the pose which looks forced and unnatural - especially when you compare it to the studied realism found in Harbottle's from SS.
Even if I could get over that, I expect the price point on these is going to be a little too rich for my blood for a 1/6 scale.

So many choices...and all of them are coming up a little short for me.

There can be a paralysis of choice. If there was one Wonder Woman statue you'd have a simple binary choice. Now with all the comparisons find qualities cross all (price, size, costume, pose, sculpt, paint, etc.)

I admit I'm easy to please so instead of focusing on aspects that prevent perfection I just like the positive traits.

Just get the Designer Series Adam Hughes or Frank Cho. Both are 1/6-scale and should be available for less than $200 each.

XM Wonder Woman Is next on my list too.

It would be nice If DC continued the 'Art Of War' line and offered some variations of WW:



Now as for this bombshell line I'd like to see this turned Into a designer series Ant Lucia designed and Jack Matthew's sculpted statue. I own the original and recently released deluxe statue and I must say neither face sculpt Is a home run. If done in the same style as the frank cho designer series statue and on a new base(maybe the original?) a third WW bombshell would be a hit:

1/5 animated version has been disclosed by Sideshow, now to wait on first images to make a decision on getting her or not.

Edit: Image added to OP.

Thanks Augen for starting this thread.

I think it's cool there are so many great WW statues coming up, but kinda disappointed by the heavy focus on the DCEU version.

I'd love some variation in costume and poses. Something cool with the lasso; or the classic bracelet cross.

I just happened to check and New 52 version is now showing "Est. Arrival: Nov 2019 - Jan 2020" making me wonder if they are doing a rework on her or something. If anyone else gets information on her please share.
