As you can see, the package is enormous. From the bottom to the top of the plastic clamshell it is nearly as tall as my Matty Castle Grayskull. The card back inside is the same width as the Gentle Giant Star wars Jumbos but two inches longer in height. Unlike the Mattel DCUC Super Powers Wonder Woman homage, they did get the card art right. The card back shows the nine planned SP Jumbos. Superman, Batman, Robin, Lex Luthor, Joker, Penguin, Wonder Woman, Green Arrow and the Flash. I would have preferred Brainiac over Green Arrow or any other of the original 12.
Size comparison between two recent 12 inch scale Wonder Woman figures and the original Super Powers.
I dragged my feet a bit on these but my love for the Super Powers line and the Jose Garcia-Lopez style guide art eventually wore down. The Super Powers era is still my favorite look for these characters.
I get they couldn't actually do the Super Powers action feature in this style. That really doesn't bother me. But I am disappointed in the fake knee joints. That's a bummer. She has five points of articulation with limited movement of the head. The head is a softer plastic than the rest of the figure and you do get a tiny bit of left and right movement at the neck. The figure is nice and solid feeling and has a bit of weight to it. Heavier than the Mattel Batman Unlimited WW. The plastic isn't soft and squishy. The sculpted detail is slightly less crisp than the original figure. She also doesn't have the peg holes on the bottom of her feet. That kind of surprised me. Other than that, she looks awesome. Really does look fantastic on display.
Wonder Woman comes with one accessory, her golden lasso of truth, which is very gold and shiny looking. The lasso has plastic caps on the ends to keep it from fraying. Wonder Woman does hold the lasso much better than the original figure which would fall out of her hand if you so much as looked at the figure cross-eyed.
