Hey folks,
In reading today’s Mego Museum News, I was delighted to read that they’re doing a new Queen Hippolyta figure. Here are some observations, and I’m curious to hear others!
Accompanying this item were pics of a new Diana Prince and Wonder Woman sculpt...both quite distressing looking. Diana Prince in particular looks like Rhonda the Bad Seed and Linda Blair had a baby.
All in all the character selection and costume designs makes it look like this is an 8” interpretation of the 1970s Mego 12” series. (Yay, if they look cuter!)
The Wonder Woman costume looks like an 8” interpretation of the original Mego 12” Wonder costume. The Diana Prince suit has anchors on the lapels...making this a Navy WAVE uniform instead of the first series’ USAF uniform.
On the back of one card is an image of...Nubia! Hmmm...
I wonder what the relationship is between this planned set and the long-awaited Lynda Carter / TV series set? Why do this series as well as the TV show, unless the TV figures aren’t moving forward?
The mind reels.
