    Yep. I still wasn't big on her thick boots, but the figure itself and the costume were solid. I did think there was too much red above the eagle though.

        In comparison, here is a custom WW I did.

        Let the discussion begin...

        Ypour Custom hands down...A raven Haired IG head works better for Diana than the OEM Mego Head.
        Second of course Mattel WW and then OEM MEgo...if FTC could learn to "tighten up" their
        pajama suits, they'd be rock solid. That being said, the SuperFriends/ and Your Custom / Mattel way of doing WW
        ( ie. no stockings, bathing suit / no sleeves short dress style) as far as costuming goes, is the best....

          Not only is your custom Wonder Woman the best one, that custom Superman is one of the best I've ever seen as well!

            Thanks

            I don't know why FTC doesn't just add two red loops to their belt like I did. It makes the belt look connected without a lot of work. And unlike the Super Friends version, there isn't a heavy red line above the belt. It cuts down on the big red diaper look.

            I also did the cape myself, similar to how the 66 Batman cape is done. But I tucked it in the way they did for the first Superman movie.

              ^^^ I like the fact your belt is wider too. It really compliments the whole look and gives him a nice fit in the center as well. Great work!

                Just got my set of Wave 1, and aside from Superman's VERY VERY loose head, I'm liking these. More than I thought!

                  All the heads are loose..they placed the heads on after dressing them because there was no way they could dress them with the heads on

                    I'm not sure in what order they were assembled but that shouldn't explain the fact that the neck hole is way bigger than the neck post.

                      I can tell you that after changing them to S-types that there was no way the factory dressed them with the heads already on! The way the capes fold over and under.You can't even remove Supes cape/outfit without removing the head

                        that still doesn't account for the wobbly heads. The peg or the hole are off size. The Order of instillation has nothing to do with this issue.

                          Absolutely agree.

                            EE is close to selling out of Robin and Superman.
