    New Wonder Woman

    Hmmm...Not sure about the heads.

    I'll be honest. After this long of a wait, I was expecting better sculpts. Crooked eyes. Lantern jaw. RBF. Those eyebrows are really throwing me off. I am liking Silver Swan's costume.

    And haven't we seen that Steve Trevor head sculpt somewhere else?

    I have to agree; I was hoping for better head sculpts... maybe not expecting.

    Steve Trevor does look familiar. I like it, but the eyebrows on all the figures are funky.

      Almost feels like they are trying to hard.
      Mego Girls have a lot of simplicity to their faces so I feel it just clashes for the scale.

        These are the same pix we'd already seen from a while ago. So, as always, who knows if they will still look like this until we actually have them in hand.

        On the plus side, this is the last wave of all those that had been promised years ago (2015?) but stuck in the pipeline. After this, it's pretty much all new, unseen stuff. Makes me happy to see they're finally on the way!

          How LAZY! Diana Prince, Wonder Woman and Silver Swan all have the same heads, just different rooted hair.
          At this point They could have used the IG head for Silver Swan and had a better figure.

          Steve Trevor reminds me of their Korak sculpt, but its not the same head.

            I'm buying Prince, Swan and Trevor, but very likely switching out the heads. Swan's=ecchhh

            But I will say also: Typically nice soft goods. Trevor's uniform would make a good Thunderbolt Ross by adding a Gordon head.

                The black eyebrows with blond hair is throwing off the Steve Trevor figure. It seems the head sculpts are produced without consideration on how it will look when placed on the body. The same way with the costumes. Everything looks slightly disjointed. However, with that said, the figures do seem to grow on you. I am developing a fondness for some of the figures I originally found fault with, like Poison Ivy and Sapphire. I am really digging the cape. I do hope there are some variants. I really hope they produce Circe and rooted hair Cheeta.

                  The Trevor head reminds me of Ross Andru's WW art, eyebrows and all. But that WW head, yecchh.

                    Looking forward to owning a Steve Trevor Mego.... that said, I still haven't bought the Daily Planet staff yet.

                    Some day soon!

                      WW is sure ugly! Easy pass on all of these. The heads are not very proportional to the bodies. Ugh.

                        I actually like how Wonder Woman came out, not so much the rest, Swan is okay and Trevor disguised as Aquaman
                        not very original, but nice outfit.

                        If you going to use the same head for Diana at least give her some eyeglasses.

                            It sorta works as Diana.
