    Wonder woman 8" boots fact or Myth?

    Do these really exist, I see them on ebay figs now and again, but never saw a carded example with boots....

    They do. Both boot-ed and bootless figures have found MIB and on Kersge cards. You can argue that your loose bootless, minty WW is complete and not be wrong

    Me, I prefer mine with boots.
    WANTED - Solid-Boxed WGSH's, C.8 or better.

      My wife got me WW and Supergirl a few years ago for Christmas. I don't know if they originally came that way. They both look great with the red boots. I'm pretty sure Supergirl never had them, but they look cool nonetheless. I imagine the boots alone are fairly uncommon.

        Supergirl had red slippers instead of boots

          The one I got as a kid had boots, so even though I kow that mego also put her out without boots I wasn't happy till I got a WW with boots.

            Wonder Woman in 8-inch format was not available when I was a kid...and believe me, I had Mom taking me to store after store trying to find her and Invisible Girl! I never even laid eyes on one in person until I was an adult collector. I saw IG once in Child World and didn't buy her...and never saw her at retail again either. Besides that, the only place I even saw a photo of her was in that tiny Mego catalog that came with my Hall Of Justice. I only know about the boots from people here and as was mentioned, I've heard that Wonder Woman is considered complete with or without the red boots.

              Yes, there are carded and case fresh boxed examples with boots. Take this one, for example:

                WW looks so good with boots--they balance the "pajamas" nicely.

                I like 'em on Supergirl, too.
