Lynda Carter as Wonder Woman doll on the way!

[dchero66]

I saw yesterday that a 16" Lynda Carter as Wonder Woman doll is on the way in August - not by Robert Tonner whom I would have expected this from, but by Madame Alexander. While there's obviously been no attempt to sculpt the doll to look like her, they've simply painted their generic adult 'fashion' head for resemblance, and Tonner would have done a better execution (in my opinion), I'll still take this! This is the first thing even close to that since Mego's 1970's 12" version, which Lynda got no royalties from. I'm sure this will make up for it, given the price point. While a very different product than the majority of what we collect and talk about, it's still 'mego-esque' given the subject matter and era.

Why bother calling this a Lynda Carter version?

This, along with the forthcoming Hallmark Ornament and comic series, are all good signs that we will likely see Lynda Carter figures in the formats that interest us. I'd stay tuned.

It's not bad, but really looks more like a decent custom than a professional figure. And the bracelets are wrong (they look gold), as well as the hair. Without the likeness, it's not really a TV WW. At least Mego's spindly attempt actually had a mild resemblance in the sculpt.

I do hope with the classic series getting a higher profile, that one of the future FTC Friday announcements is for a TV WW. Most of the '66 Bat likenesses have been good to great (only Shame is majorly off), so I think they could give us a decent Lynda Carter.

The metal work on the chest piece is actually pretty good.

That part they did get correct for the 70's version (compared to the different, more classic design of the '40s costume from the first season).

Just Plain Horrible!

FTC's baggy pajama WW is worse.

It would be cool to get FTC to do remegos of Lynda Carter Wonder Woman ,Chris Reeves Superman , Michael Keaton 89 Batman and movie Swamp Thing

No its not. Plus FTC'S WW is a 1970's Mego remake and for $25.00. This Madame Alexander is a $200.00 UNATTRACTIVE Monster that has zero to do with Lynda Carter!

Well now all FTC can do is make its own Lynda Carter Wonder Woman Mego!

[johnpauljones]

That would be a cool Lynda Carter WW if it, you know, looked like Lynda Carter.

Mego's WW was pretty horrible too. 25 dollar monster or 200 dollar monster. At least the 200 dollar one has a better costume.

I like the old retro baggy suit Wonderwoman that mego did because it was my first female figure as a kid and she added to my MEGO JLA.
I do think that FTC could take the WGH Catwoman suit and add stars and stripes to it and get rid of tail and collar. The WGH catwoman body suit fits better than pajama
style Wonderwoman

I never had Mego 8" Wonder Woman as a kid but FTC 8" WW is growing on me. I wish FTC would reissue Mego 12" Wonder Woman painted top my favorite Mego 12"! Maybe an 18" version?
