It is beautiful! I am compiling all of the Wonder Woman news here:

>> Toy Fair 08 News

SOLD!

This will look great with my Superman and Batman 1:4 Scale Museum Statues!

I know! DC Direct has made is so I have to start a new saving account at my bank and it will ONLY be used for Wonder Woman collectables. There is ALOT to buy this year, The Wonder Woman Barbie, WONDER WOMAN 1:4 SCALE MUSEUM QUALITY STATUE,JLA BUILD-A-SCENE Wonder Woman STATUE,AME-COMI WONDER WOMAN VINYL STATUE,REACTIVATED!: SERIES 4: SUPER SQUAD: WONDER WOMAN ACTION FIGURE,TRINITY: WONDER WOMAN ACTION FIGURE
And I hope the All Star Wonder Woman figure will still be sold at some point. Lord! thats alot of Wonder Woman collectables and that's just what we know of so far!!! Batman and Superman had there day, I think this is the year of WONDER WOMAN!!! But an expensive year!

Oh and I forgot about the 13 inch doll that we should see soon!

I love it but it really REALLY bugs me that at a price of $300.00, I get metallic paint instead of actual metallic surfaces. It looks like the same old greenish gold paint they use on every action figure. I went and gold foiled some of my figures and it looks so much better. Actually, even when I pay as much as $15.00 for an action figure that should be about $5.oo, I really want the foil or chromed look. There are a lot of action figures out there, mass market, that have chromed metallic finishes and sell for less. I just want it for my fave hero as well and I really don't know why they don't give it to me at that price point. Okay, that's my rant, what can I say, I am a gay man, I like shiny things.

Dan, I agree - Wonder Woman's armor should be bright gold not bronze or whatever they use to paint it with. I, too have foiled or used a shinier metallic paint to customize a few of my duplicate figures and they look SO much better!

I love her as she is and I bet this is what the 13 inch Wonder Woman dolls costume will be like. This statue will be the new main center pice of my collection! I can not wait to get it!

Lynda, don't forget that you are buying the Tonner Justice Protector Wonder Woman as well! Better get a second job girl!

Eeeeeekkkkk! I know! Now I kinda wish I didn't order her but I had no idea we would get SO many cool Wonder Woman collectables this year! But what's done is done and I have to pay for her.

Thought this might be of interest to some of you:

Andy Bergholtz, who sculpted the Wonder Woman 1:4 scale statue has shared what the original, more aggressive sculpt looked like:

No laughing at the boobies, please.

Jase, this is amazing information - I love seeing the work in progress photos for statues. Thanks!

WOW! Thank you Jase! I'm SO glad they made her face less angry! So her outfit(or most of it) is sculpted under her cloth costume?

I've been in touch with the sculptor, Andy Bergholtz, and he was kind enough to grant me permission to share these photos of the work-in progress and individual components to the piece.

Photos may not be used without the sculptor's permission.

FINAL PIECE:

W0W! She is AMAZING! Thank you Antony that was awesome of you to do for us!

My pleasure! I also got a lot of inside information as to how he sculpted each piece, what product he used for different sections and why, etc. Very fascinating stuff!
