Haven't gotten to Wonder Woman yet. Cheetah has been disrobed though and I'm sure its the same. The joints are pretty stiff other than the hips which are connected to each other with the same type of elastic as the older figures. Not super tight there but not like the older male bodies at all. The torso is 2 pieces. However no waist articulation. The top part with the boobs can tilt back (not forward) and very slightly side to side. The legs are a little nobby kneed inward. The heads are not glued on and can be popped off the post easily - no boiling required. The neck post is smaller than a female Mego so the hole might need to be enlarged to put on a Mego body - we shall see.... You can see the rest of the articulation in the pics I'm sure.

Are you Pitching this Body then ?
I sorta Like it ..., The Design is better than the Mego Female Body imo. and it looks a ton better than the Male Bodies.

The female body looks pretty decent. I just wish I had more interest in DC characters.LOOK

I'm not pitching it. But you're asking the wrong person on that issue. I'm putting mine on a Mego body. That said, I think people who are looking for a new body will not hate it like they do the male body. I think the fingers are odd looking. And I think the inward curve at the knees is not very good looking (though not as bad with Cheetah as WW since shes clothed). Unfortunately not too many other people have them yet but I'll let those who might want to use the body judge when they get them. I do think the lack of waist articulation will put some off though - the top torso piece does not twist at all - just tilts backward and tilts slightly to each side. Here's a side shot.
Straight on...

Cheetah's suit has an enormous tag sewn right inside the back. It was tucked in but here it is pulled out straight.

Her Hands do Look ..., Weird. By Pitching ..., I meant Throwing it away ?.
But I do Like the over all shape of the Female Body. She looks like a Woman, not a Girl. The Body really looked like it was Slapped together, it appears as if I am seeing Glue all over the Place, and the 1 Knee looks CTVT Style Cracked. The way the Thigh's fit into the Pelvis, looks like the same issues with the Male Body..., and they come off as Thunder Thighs.... The Original Knight ..., Often Imitated, However Never Duplicated.

Ah I see, no I'm not going to toss it. I might find something useful in the future from it. I only really see glue at the seams though it does appear to have some extra at the torso seam that ran over the plastic there. It does appear to be a solid figure. The splitting at the knee I just don't think it was held long enough or glue missed that spot but I don't think its going to come apart further or crack. The way the hips are, are definitely the same as the males. If you held the body off the ground and pulled the legs up and let go they will fall back down. I've looked closer at this body now than I ever would have otherwise. I get the idea of what you like as far as the updated shape of the body. Me, I just want more characters that look like the ones I had as a kid. I suspect that you will not be in love with this body, at least not as is.Comment

Ron, how is WW's face? Can you give us a close-up to see what she looks like?Comment

First successful Mattel to Mego female body swap is complete. Only real adjustment I had to do was slightly widen the hole in the vinyl head to accept the Mego neck post. And only slightly, it will still pop on and stay on the original body. Eventually I will be painting the hands. Mattel gave her flesh hands anyway so no swap was even possible. And I will likely lose the boots and apply some spots directly to the fabric but I took the pic as a direct swap so people could see it. For the record, the female boots are not nearly as big and goofy as the male boots.
