Hot Toys Wonder Woman (WB 100)

[sj2106]

Big fan of Gal's Wonder Woman but keeping her makes it even more ludicrous to Axe Cavill.

Not that it really matters. Everything will likely be rebooted again when Superman Legacy does Flash type numbers at the box office.

Breaks my heart but DC is just a complete mess.

Anyway I hope we see some video reviews of this figure soon. Thought some of the YouTubers would have had it by now.

First video review I've seen.

She looks awesome. I'm not a fan of the tightly wound curls, so I'll probably relax those a bit when I get mine. I appreciate that you can take the gold ribbon thing off her stand too!

Looks like this is officially released in Hong Kong now. Toys Buying Agent has it for a whopping six-hundred dollars and change.

Some new pics from Facebook. It’s definitely an improvement over any of their past WW heads. But their rooted hair and expression still feels too doll-esque to me. Though maybe that’s inescapable give Gadot’s overall look in these films.

Look at the hair on the box image and then on the figure very accurate

 

[FlyAndFight]

That hair doesn't convince me that this is better than the 1984 sculpted hair head sculpt. I see a lot of fritz in the future...

Looks like the Golden Armor hair but with more styling product/glue. Lol

 

[BladeS]

Looks good to me, really excited to get this one.

Only complaint is that they never make her hair dark enough. It's bordering on black but they keep releasing her with a stark brown.

I'm excited when I get mine, if it still looks pretty good with bad lightning, think in person it'll be awesome.

It’s easy to think that at first glance until you actually compare the two like in the video above. I sort of thought the same in that maybe there really wasn’t much difference until seeing the direct comparison. The hair work, while not perfect, is pretty clearly better on the new version from what I’m seeing. The new wool hair type appears to be finer/thinner/more in scale than the synthetic hair used on the GA version as well.

Yeah for the $ it isn't that great considering you can probably get both of the previous 84 figures for the same price or cheaper which IMO is a way cooler display.

 

[TheBatman]

Those little improvements do little to justify the asking price..

Agreed. Whatever differences do exist, you'd need a magnifying glass to see them.

No was saying anything about the price being justified. It’s clearly overpriced and if the rumors are anything to go by, so will artisan Anakin and Joker. They’re clearly going to be similar since they’re using the same headsculpt, but the difference appears to be more than just a little improvement. Now, whether that difference is worth it, better or worse than the GA is a different conversation. I have the GA headsculpt loose and can say that the seam between the head and hair is pretty noticeable even from viewing distance and would take much more futzing to cover up than it not being there at all like this WB100 version. That said, if I had to choose between the WB100, the GA or the sculpted, I’d go for the sculpted, then WB100 and the GA last.

 

[Akiratang]

It's a big improvement for me as I've never had a wonder woman figure before

Yup, those are good comparisons. Here’s a few new close-ups.

I got mine at a pretty decent price, around £60 more than the 84 figure. Only need one HT WW to tide me over until InArt release theirs in a few years and this seems the best all round package.

A compromise between the dull colours from BvS and JL but not as blown out as the 84 look. The best sword and shield ccombo and that cool base. It's not really accurate to any one movie but I couldn't care less.
