That WW looks amazing. Not sure why DCD even bothers releasing stuff in a scale nobody wants, but it's too nice to pass it up.

Sorry Big but not "everybody" has their entire collection revolve around the Bowen product out there.

I commend DC for doing diverse pieces over a diverse scale; it makes their product more accessable to the hardcore as well as those who want just the odd piece here and there. This piece also looks to be priced appropriately for the size, as was the 1st JLA piece. Granted that has not been the case historically.

I obviously exaggerated when I said it's a scale "nobody" wants. Of course some people like the smaller stuff. I personally don't get why people pigeon-hole themselves into one scale. My collection ranges all the way from Batman B&W to SS 1/4 scale premium formats. I would miss out on too many good pieces (like this one) if I stuck to one scale.

My point was DCD is leaving a lot of money on the table by not making such a beautiful piece into a larger scale to appeal to more collectors. Look at how many responses in this thread bascially say "looks awesome but I won't get it because of the size."

As far as pricing goes, I don't even want to get started on that as it relates to DCD, lol.

I do pigeon-hole myself into one scale, or try to be as close as possible. I don't have the large collection that many on this forum have. I am only collecting my favorite/most popular characters. Although I really like this Wonder Woman she would look out of place displayed with the rest of my collection. I'm not saying DC is doing anything wrong, just trying to give an example of why some people wish this piece was a little larger.

Looks very nice. But if it is not at least 1/6 scale, I might pass. If it's a mini 6" tall statue, that's too small for my preference.

I just received the official dimensions for this piece from DC:

11” tall x 5.25” wide x 4” deep

Hope this helps!

Additional information and a high-resolution photo are available on my Upcoming Releases Page.

No problem! I expected this would be in the same scale (1/8) as the full-size Bolland and Hughes Wonder Woman statues.

That means the figure itself, head-to-toe will measure 9" tall. Then, if you include the base and her arms, the finished piece will stand 11" tall. That complies with the scale of the other two statues. If you measure the actual figures (and not include the base, serpents, etc) they are both 9" tall as well.
