    Jayne Kennedy as...Nubia?

    I'm rewatching Wonder Woman episode "Knockout" and am struck by Jayne Kennedy's beauty and on-screen presence. (She's a former Miss Ohio, just learned that.)

    I think she'd have made a great TV Nubia, a missed opportunity for the show but of course it changed formats that season.

    I want an 8" Mego Nubia so badly but I'm guessing FTC won't revisit that debacle. Who knows--with 3D printing making her armor possible, maybe great customs are within reach.

    What do you think of this fantasy casting?
    WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.

      So Theresa Graves was actually considered? Very interesting, though I've never seen Get Christie Love!.

        Yeah she would have definitely owned the part. Idk why but this thread reminded me of Wizard magazine's casting for comic book movies in the 90's when there weren't many Superhero movies but definitely enough rumors about future projects.

          My main recollection of Jayne Kennedy is from CBS NFL Today back when Irv Cross, Jimmy the Greek, and Brent Musburger were on. She's definitely on the all-time list of beautiful women.

            She definitely looks the part. Statuesque and heroic looking. And, agreed, I really want a Nubia figure.

              She was one of my early crushes! I'm not that familiar with her acting skills (also mostly remembering er from NFL on CBS), but her statuesque beauty can easily stand next to Lynda Carter's, another of the 70s most beautiful women.
              WANTED - Solid-Boxed WGSH's, C.8 or better.

                  How could you forget former Miss America turn sportscaster, Phyllis George?

                  A quick check at imdb reveals Ms. Kennedy was in 3 episodes of The Love Boat, but I totally remember her appearance on Wonder Woman
