    SS 8" Wonder Woman Purchased At Toy Show: Opinions Please

    Hello, Everyone.

    I went to a GI Joe Show today and there are a few sellers who know me now and try to bring Megos. One particular seller has pretty common figures when he brings them, and I have all the ones he usually brings. Most are pricey by ebay standards (Aquaman w/o gloves for $40; Kirk without weapons for $25; Supergirl and Batgirl with repro items for $150 each, etc.) but this little baby caught my eye this morning.

    He had her up for $55.00, but I got her for $50; I didn't want to quibble too much 'cause there were lots of folks around his table and I didn't want to lose her. I noticed that this 8" Wonder Woman had the painted-on sleeves. I've also seen her called a "true" silk screened Wonder Woman. My other WW has the sewn on blue sleeve cuffs. These are definitely printed on.

    Here are some pixies. I was just wondering what your respective opinions are about the price.

    Also, how rare is this version? I haven't myself seen too many.

    She's in really nice shape; she just needs a deKontamination.

    Thanks!

    There is no doubt in my mind that I would have quite happily paid $50 for her. She looks great. Nice pickup.

      ^ Ah...thanks, Paul. It's been so long since I shopped for WWs that I really don't know the going rate, plus I don't know if the painted sleeve ones go for more. *shrug*

          ^ Thanks, Spock!

          I was a bit hesitant when purchasing this one, only because I already have two Wonder Women at home. I thought I was being extravagant.

              Nice pick-up!

              The 3 other gals get all the attention because of the extreme differences between the reg and SS outfits. Because the Wonder Woman costumes are so similar she gets overlooked and under appreciated.

              I like her!

                Very true. Definitely rarer than the other WW, but because the difference isn't too striking, there seems to be less fuss over her. $50 is a good price regardless.

                        I think she's work the 50 for sure. This is actually hard to find but isn't desirable like SG & BG but I love her just as much as them.
