The Wonder Woman Toy Thread

Too funny! I love it!

I'm kind of surprised, with the huge push to make them A-List Wonder Woman characters in recent years, that we haven't seen figures of Yara Flor or Nubia anywhere yet.

Something tells me if DC Collectibles/DC Direct were still making figures independently, they'd have popped up by now.

Well, yeah. McFarlane hates making female action figures.

No mention of the STAR RIDERS yet?

[Nyssane]

I love those so much. I have all the Princess Tenko dolls which used these same body sculpts, and the quality would've been amazing. So sad that this never came to be.

[DisneyBoy]

Agreed. With the success of She-Ra and the brand recognition of Wonder Woman, you'd think at least the first wave would have been produced.

I wonder, did the Super Powers line actually create some of the superhero nicknames we now know? I'm wondering what Diana's was now... if it wasn't Amazing Amazon, that's one that would be a better fit for Donna than "Maiden of Might".

"AMAZING AMAZON", it was...

They must have re-issued this action figure in the 90s cuz I definitely had it as a kid. It's so annoying they didn't do more women. I would've loved Cheetah, Catwoman, Poison Ivy... literally anyone to fight my WW.

If Todd has any sense, he'll get on making some women for the Super Powers Revival line...

Cheetah and Catwoman are musts.

I don't have the source handy but it was suggested elsewhere that ToddToys (or whatever McFarlane is calling his company now) has a bias against making female figures for some reasons. Mostly the whole sales thing, perceived or real, that they don't do well on the shelf.

He does, he's made some pretty gross comments about it. As per GurlCulture: "He then launched into a tirade about a young boy who received a female action figure and being so disappointed that the letdown of receiving a female action figure could result in someone becoming a serial killer."

It's so strange because in the 90s, he included women in pretty much all of his Spawn waves. Although many of them (Angela) were very cheesecakey, there were others like this gorgeous as hell Medusa that I absolutely LOVED as a kid:

Very disappointing to hear that. Todd's hangups are not our hangups.

To me, this sort of looks like an Asgardian Marvel version of Wonder Woman.
