They obviously wanted to do a modern WW, but copped out on the skirt-thing and created a half-assed hybrid thing. The figure reminds me more of "American Maid" than WW. Part of that is due to the face. It doesn't jive with the other figures in the line, and looks a Mad Magazine parody of an over-the-hill chain-smoking housewife WW or something out of Archie Comics. Plus, she's an Amazon. Why do they always insist on making her shorter then the men?

Oh, and why give her a cape, but no lasso? The whole thing is just lame.

i had deathstroke in my cart last weekend, and i couldnt make myself buy it. he would be out of place on my super powers shelf because he's taller and bulkier than them.

wonderwoman is news to me, i wonder how they fucked that up. the original super powers wonderwoman is a freaking masterpiece.

I was thinking they'd match up well with the vintage guys. Glad to hear they don't so I won't be so tempted to buy them. Whenever possible, I don't buy Chinese-made stuff, so this is an even easier pass.

yeah they dont match up. they look like them, but when you put them next to each other they dont look nearly as good as the original.

I think it's cool to have a "retro" esque line. Still I'm wondering about that whole Wonder Woman fiasco as recently mentioned. Kind of also wondering why we have a retro version of a modern character in the form of The Batman Who Laughs. It just seems kind of out of place to me
