      The Wonder Woman series 1 figures you mentioned. Nice sculpts and articulation. I would have prefered a more vanilla posed Wondy though and Circe is a pain to balance with her awkward pose and huge cape.

      Now where's series 2?

      I also really like the Infinite Crisis WW figure. Terrific sculpt and I like that the skin tone is molded in color. Classic Lynda Carter style pose that unfortunately limits the articulation.

      I was disappointed in the New Frontier figures as well. They all look like they have their eyes closed. Still debating on whether to get the WW or not.
      You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

        This is by far the Best Wonder Woman ever.



        .. I also Like the Andy Kurbert Batman,.. & The Crisis Batman.
        The 1st Superman they did with the 34 points of articulation was Fantastic.

        ... But the Best Ever Figure,.. for me goes to the 13 inch Blue/Grey Batman.
        ... The Original Knight ..., Often Imitated, However Never Duplicated. The 1st Knight in Customs.

          My favorites are probably the Robin from the Silver Age 2-pack and the First Appearance Robin. However, that may change once the George Perez version comes out. I haven't seen the Kirby New Gods figs yet, but the pics look spectacular. I also really like the first wave of recent Green Lantern figures, specifically Kilowog. He's so heavy and solid - just a well-made figure. Both the Phil Jimenez(Infinite Crisis) and the Terry Dodson Wonder Woman figures are a big improvement from what we've gotten in the past. The first DCD WW was way too short and kind of bleh. I disliked the sculpt on the JLA one and I won't mention the McGuinness version. But one figure that I wasn't planning to buy and ended up really liking was the Justice Wonder Woman. She doesn't go with anything I collect, but she was so nice and I don't know...buff, that I just got her to put on a shelf with other WW items. And speaking of Alex Ross stuff that I don't really collect, the Batgirl and Supergirl are two more that I'll probably pick up just because I like them.

              I kept up with the 6" figures pretty well until the last year or so. I still think the best Batman is the SA Infantino version. The multi-aritculated superman is probably still the best Supes too. The original Hawkman and Hawkgirl are beautiful figures despite the lack of leg articulation.

              I LOVE the 13" line, and have most of the comic figures (with more on the way). I've pretty much abandonned the 6" line for these.

                I have all the Alan scotts and Jay garricks and a couple of the HAL jordons, and the Shazam Billy batson 2 pack- but for the most part I have shied away from the line just becuase they aren't in scale with any of my other toys (since I get em out) and they are a little too delicate to let my kids play with. The 13" line is amazing but they are SO large they tower over all my other large scale super heroes even my Mego musclebound 12.5 inch Superman

                  Never liked the Ross DC figures. I think the WW figures from those sets are too harsh and masculine looking.

                        Yeah, the SF are very nicely done. I'd much rather have seen more of these than the endless Ross figures, although I do like most of them and own many of them.

                            ^^ I do like that one,.. but think the Andy Kurbert Head Sculpt is Better imo.

                              I have only been collecting the GoodGuys thus far. I just need a ManHunter & a Shazam. I think it will change once the Toyman is released. I do wish for a Dick Grayson Robin for the Justice Line before it's canceled.
