McFarlane works really hard at having awful Wonder Woman head sculpts on his action figures.  Give credit where credit is due. He's very successful at it.

True words. It does really look like he's actively trying to make her look bad. I don't get it. Maybe this would be ok if these were like 3". That looks like the tv series Wonder Woman costume, but that surely is not Lynda Carter. And is that really, really supposed to be Yvonne Craig on that cycle? The Adam West likeness is there, but overall this looks like a kind of "happy meal" effort.

You guys do realize that some of the actors families and the actors themselves don't sign over likeness rights and then McFarlane uses the Batman '66 comic books to skate that to give us figures from that era?  I don't know what or any deals with Yvonne's family or if Lynda Carter has a deal with Warner or McFarlane but I'd rather a figure like the ones above then no representation of those characters of that era?  The Batgirl figure is marked on the cardback as Batman '66 and not the Batman the Classic TV Series.   Wonder Woman is also marked with that logo. 

I'm just happy having close enough because I can't see this line ever happening again unfortunately.

I don't expect Wonder Woman to look like Lynda Carter.  Just not to look awful.  Much like the Who is Wonder Woman figure, the head sculpt is the weakest part of the figure.  At this point I think he's trying to make her look a certain way. And he's good at making one of the most iconic women in comics look bad.

That works for me!  Because I agree on ugly head sculpts....this one doesn't bother me as much as the comic one.

I have found, over the years, that all Wonder Woman, Superman and Hulk action figures are make-or-break on their head sculpts.

On the plus side, I've saved lots of money, this year included.

I like this Wonder Woman, though. I can't wait to see it in person.

I've been staring at that Batgirl, going "don't I already have this?" but of course it's just a slight repaint.  Yellow highlights swapped for blue.  Been driving me nuts all day. 

Oddly, I kind of like the red version of Batman there. 

[SpasticPlastic]

I'm all in.  Love 'em.

[Roadpigmaster]

I like that Batgirl and motorcycle...

I could get past the faces not looking exactly like the actors (though the Adam West looks almost dead on, so its odd the rest came out looking otherwise) but the bodies (BG in particular) look blah...again, they have that generic "happy meal" look to them.

Hopefully, I'm not getting them if they do it, you will be able to get some on the Multiverse line like the Adam West they just released.

There are actually some figures I want here, Batgirls..like both of those, the cycle one is lovely in the Purple, Red Batman? I don't know what is is about stupid colored Batmans but I'm always kinda into it. The Wonder Woman I'm kinda into as well.

Is there anywhere that has that Purple version of Batgirl in stock at a reasonable price??

If memory serves me right that was a Target Exclusive and had horrible distribution so not to my knowledge.

I pre-ordered Clock King and Batgirl's Batcycle but skipped the rest. I'm still waiting on Alfred and Bookworm to come in from the last wave.

Well now, the "Wonder Woman" figure has SOLD OUT on all retailers' sites. "Clock King" is SOLD OUT on three platforms. The remaining figures are still available on all retail sites. The "Red Batman" and "Batgirl" are just repaints, while "Joker" is a repaint with an accessory. 

I think we should see a new villain next wave, hopefully "Mad Hatter" since all the collectors have been asking for him. Bruce in a suit would be easy. Dick in street clothes would be fairly easy. Perhaps a "Louie the Lilac" or "False Face" would be pretty easy. If they wanted a complete new sculpt, they could make a "Siren" figure.
