A classic Wonder Woman by Mark Brooks. This could be really good.

I hope her costume will not look anything like the one in the movie. I hope the design will be based entirely on the classic comic books of the old days.

Someone said to me earlier that we would never get anything in classic style like the Super Powers. This comes close enough. I'll take it.

Actually, I didn't find the previous Batman-Classic and Superman-Classic statues quite classic enough, in terms of style, to my liking. I don't particularly like the base on both.

Not sure what to expect from this Wonder Woman-Classic after looking at them.

I like the illustration by Mark Brooks, but I am not sure how faithfully it will be transferred to the statue.

As much as I like Mark Brooks art, what I have observed of his personality on social media appears bizarre and abrasive. As such, I generally try to stay away from anything with his art.

It can be tough to separate the art from the artist.

On top of that shipping is insane and there is a huge variety of Wonder Woman pieces, so I don’t see myself buying this.

Totally agree. The man is a nutjob.

More like the others. Batman is MTO 499 and Superman Ver. A ES 199 and Ver. B ES 299.
Ok sound good

I said TH isn't making more SuperPowers pieces. That's it.

That render does not like your Brooks picture.

When XM says Classic, they mean non-Rebirth, not Bronze Age.

I thought there was a US license for that. Is there a European license?
