Why doesn't Super Friends Wonder Woman have her LASSO?!
Why doesn't Super Friends Wonder Woman have her LASSO?!
The only mistake with FTC awesome Super Friends line is that Wonder Woman does not have her LASSO a glaring Omission! Why didn't FTC just include the same lasso as JLA Wonder Woman has which is what I use. It's just yellow
string!
Because that tiny bit of string would have blown the budget on WW. The better question is why don't they upgrade the bodies they use instead of the garbage ones that they continue to use. Especially on the females, just terrible.

this^^^^^
but nothing is going to change.As long as people keeping buying them,they won't see the need to change anything
The missing lasso was pathetic, along with 66 Penguin missing his Umbrella and Mr Freeze missing his freeze gun. These figures cost very little to make and the mark up is HIGH. There is no reason they can't include proper accessories. Thanks to Tmello who fixed that issue by making accessories for them. My SF WW has the Retro Mattel Lasso which is great.At least Mattel had some smarts to give her her crucial accessory
^^^ Not sure how you know what the cost to manufacture these figures is, but I doubt its as cheap as you think. You have to factor in freight, licensing, prototyping and sculpting heads, too. The only ones that were less costly were the repro superheroes as all the sculpting was done for those by Mego in the 70s.

Macrocephaly is costing FTC many more sales than missing lassos. You should hear what my comics shop says about some of these offerings. At any rate, I know where the elastic is at JoAnn's . One package takes care of all the vintage and retro Wonder-gals.
