    Go Hero Sheena, Queen of the Jungle

    Looks like they've announced it today at SDCC. Who's in for one of these? I imagine they're using a seamless Phicen body.

    Can't tell too much yet, but it's looking good, so far.

      I'm in if they get the Irish McCalla likeness!


      Heck I'm definitely in if it's the very unlikely Tanya Roberts likeness.

        What I saw in the background looked a lot like Irish McCalla's costume. Probably more likely to be public domain than Robert's version.

          From what I'm gathering, it's supposed to be McCalla and they had the likeness cleared with her heirs. I think it's cool they're making a female figure, and one so iconic. She's the jungle girl.

          EDIT: There's no doubt in my mind it's going to look phenomenal, but the only hesitation I have at all is about the Phicen body. Seamless bodies look great in pictures, but I'd hate to have it start rotting or tear in a couple years. Maybe it's unfounded, but it's just a concern--I've had no issues w/ my HT Keaton Batman, which is similarly constructed.

            Go Hero seems to be good at snagging likenesses (Buster Crabbe and Doc Savage). Here's hoping McCalla, and it would be interesting if they did a comic book likeness variant.

              I had a couple of nice conversations with Steve from GH a while back, I'm positive he mentioned having McCalla's likeness. I'd be the kind of nerdling to ask that question.

                If they were not 12" I would buy a few of these, especially "THE HORROR OF PARTY BEACH"

                    I was just watching the movie She Demon with Irish in it last night. I'm super excited about this figure!

                      Here is a preview pic from STGCC 2014. They also showed previews of Eartha Kitt and Julie Newmar in black leather-ish catsuits, as well as Bettie Page and Honey West figures.

                          Kind of doesn't look like anyone in particular.

                            Might make a cool Supergirl custom?

                              Looks nice, but very generic. I'd suggest buying a regular Phicen, and just adding a bit of fake leopard skin. Anyone can do that.
