Wonder Woman Maquette

Manufacturer: DC Direct
Sculpted by Jim Shoop
Size: 9.25" tall x 3.75" wide x 4.25" deep
Edition Size: 4,000
Release Date: March, 2009.
Retail Price: $89.99

This is based on art from the Warner Home Video direct-to-DVD - WONDER WOMAN! Do you think she will spin in the cartoon?

Points in Favor:
  • Simplistic in it's design - this wonder woman caught my eye.
  • Her face has a slight grin with an uplifted eye that says (in my opinion), "You think so."
  • She doesn't have breast implants.
  • Paint job looks good - but that could always change.
  • Boots are not painted onto the legs but sculpted out away from the legs. (I think my niece would be proud that I noticed that.)
Points Against:
  • The base
  • I'm uncertain about it being "cold-cast porcelain." For some reason, I think of my grandmother.
Recommendation: Neutral - Good price - decent statue - if you can ignore the base.

This statue strikes me as lifeless. There's just nothing going on in there.

Aren't most of the superhero tv character's pretty lifeless anyway?
