Wonder Woman, with some thanks to Hallmark
Hello, Everyone.
I posted previously about the Clark Kent/Superman and Wonder Woman Christmas ornaments that Hallmark sold for the 2007 Christmas season:
Clark Kent to Superman Figure: Thanks, Hallmark! - Mego Talk
Well....here is my Wonder Woman! I'm really happy with how she turned out.
I used an original Mego female body, but opted for bendable arms (thanks, Scout!) with functional hands. This gives her a more "seamless appearance" as only her knee joints are visible, but she still has full range of motion in her elbows.
I modified the Hallmark Wonder Woman ornament. In a nutshell, I took it apart and resewed it and added my own belt from gold material left over from my Paul Schaffer's tie. The bracelets and boots I intentionally made really shiny.
1. and 2. Here is the Wonder Woman Hallmark outfit on the body before I added the head and cape, front and back views. I dabbed a bit of glue on the suit "straps" where they meet the bodice in the back, for a bit of reinforcement. Those are the slightly darker red spots you see on the back view.
3. Here is the front view of the body with the cape (part of the Hallmark ornament):
4. Here she is, in all her Wonder glory! She can actually hold her magic lasso (okay...so it's a piece of Christmas trim...but it looks like a lasso!
).
5. Here's a closeup of Wonder Woman, ready to fight for truth, justice, and the American Way!
6. Hm....I think my Mego Silk Screened Wonder Woman is experiencing Cape Envy.
Thanks for looking!
