It came from the Toy Chest: This woman may be a wonder...

Get it? Woman of Wonder...

I promised the review of DC Collectibles Wonder Woman.
This figure cost me $25+ so, it better be up to par with modern figures, because last DC items have sucked donkey balls.

Do I need to explain Wonder Woman?
Demi Goddess from Paradise Island... Don't make me write Themyscira too much cause I will screw it up... The other day Autocorrect called Ralph Macchio "Ralph Macchiato". So Wonder Woman... The mightiest Amazon goes into the world of man to defend it in the name of love or something.


Articulation:
Oh look, Diana is articulated like a modern figure! This type of articulation should be the standard for Adult collectibles. Not that 90s kid toy articulation bullshit that the Essentials have. Her left leg is a little lopse though.
4.0

Paint and sculpt
The sculpt is really great. It's based on NU52 with the duller colors and excess of silver and looks like Wonder Woman... (obviously she fills her outfit better than Gal Gadot...) Sadly, the hands suffer from sloppy paint application.
3.5

Accessories 
2 lassos of Hestia
2 extra hands
Sword
Shield
Removable wrist straps for shield.
By amount alone, it should get a flawless victory here, but the accessories have issues.
The shield won't attach to the wrist peg or back peg securely.
She can't really hold her sword well
The "loose lasso" is way too short to actually use in cool poses.
The coiled lasso keeps fallimg off her soft "horn" to hold the lasso.
Due to these issues her score is lowered to 2.5

Overall
3.33 is Diana's final score. The paint issues and accessory problems hurt her a lot more than expected.
