    Here is a nice big pic. See it isn't a tee shirt,it looks like it doesn't go over the shoulders (the red part)

      Actually looking at that it does not look as thought it goes all the way over the shoulders. Hmmmm... It sure did look that way in the small pics.

        the WGSH line ended around 1977... also, it's notable that the
        WW Mego was the "eagle" WW... and, yeah, this is a RETRO line...
        It makes much more sense for the MATTEL WW
        to have the "eagle" emblem in that respect...

        however, DC is looking for ways to push their newer ideals where they can...
        ...and, in some ways, the "W" emblem is acceptable on both sides
        of the "logistics" of this debate on what is suited for this line, I guess.

        I am just hoping this is the LAST we see of such "creeping towards
        the post-bronge age stuff" as we're gonna get in this line for a LONG time.

            Rather nice--the facial detailing is lovely. Nice accessories, too.

            The hair is a bit much--will she have a "Mego" clear hair band?


            I have to agree with Huedell--seems to me a "retro" WW should have an eagle emblem... (I realize it's moot.)
            WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.

              Lotsa stuff can be considered "moot" or "complaining for
              complaining's sake" However.... when we see opposing views to our own,
              I think we owe it to the issue to express the "other side of the coin".

              With that being said... it's good to hear there are others that prefer the
              eagle....and, more poignantly, consider the eagle to be more appropriate
              for the line.

                I found a close-up pic and it looks like it's not really a tank top. I think I see clear straps in there. I think it's just the way it's cut.

                  I love this pic! I was not sure about this figure but this better pic makes everything better, thanks.

                    I do wish the red in the suit was a deeper red. I also wish the WW was higher up so there wasn't all that red space there at the top. I think they should cut that down a bit.

                      If that's the case and it's more like the bustier, then I think with a little customizing it could be trimmed down a bit just a tad above the golden Ws

                        Remember it's just the prototype. I'm sure they are trying to work out the kinks to getting it just right.

                          Definitely will get this figure, as well as the rest of Wave 3. Keep 'em coming!

No signed paper can hold the iron. It must come from men. The words of Ten Bears carries the same iron of life and death. It is good that warriors such as we meet in the struggle of life... or death. It shall be life."

                            She looks great but I hate when they sculpt superhero faces laughing or smiling... With the exception of the Big Cheese or Plastic Man... That was what I liked the most about the Hasbro 9 inch DC Heroes.. Great head sculpts!

                              very cool. looks like no articulation in the knees though. maybe that is just on the prototype? Dr. Mego, comments please.

                                I think she had flesh leggings, which is why you can't really see the knee articulation.
