I was so bummed out when they swapped her head for the one from the seven pack. The one from the promo was so much better. Such a let down, like the Big Time Let Down Spider-Man.
I agree, the sculpt in that promo pic is gorgeous. This figures head sculpt is rather bland and boring. Rest of the sculpt looks good though. Additional...Actually on second glance the sculpt on the face is rather attractive, just would have preferred the original
"She holds it very well, a little bit loose" ... It wobbles terribly !!!! This definitely won the prize to indulgence xD Anyway, I think it can be solved heating the hands and squeezing them to have a tighter fit.
I mention its loose, but terribly would be if it constantly fell out of the hand. It wont fall out of the hand at all because the fingers and thumb are connected and basically make a hole. Heat probably won't solve that because it wont make the hole smaller.
I think a lot of people that are complaining about the face sculpt haven't read the Amazo Virus storyline or seen Jason Fabok's work. The face sculpt here looks pretty close to Fabok's work as opposed to the one shown on the box.
Noah Juarez We are getting a Rebirth Superman and Batman single carded figures as seen in the box set. So those can be bought individually. You're gonna have to go on eBay for the rest of them.
Everyone is complaining about the head, including in Amazon but I find this one better than the promotion one. It does suck that they changed it without letting people know though
The face on my figure is horrible. I was wondering if they were all like that. The promo one was perfect. Looks like I'll be looking for another one with a perfect paint job like the one you got. Also the shield in mine doesn't stay put either. I seriously got a defective one. Lol. My shop only had two to choose from and the one I didn't pick had paint blemishes all over it. QC needs to step up. Anyways great review.
Hi Jay C, thanks for your great reviews, if you decide to sell your wonder woman DC Icons J.L. Box Set I will be happy to buy it from you. for me is the only figure that i liked from the entire set. and I'm not intend to buy the entire box set just for one figure. Let me know if you willing to get rid off her.
Wonder Woman's height is 6ft and not 6ft3 or 6ft6 as the one in the box set. She fits in perfectly with the rest of the ICONS. What I can't understand is why they just didn't include some soft straps on the shield so you can just place it on her back. I replaced this shield with an older one I had with a much older "DC Direct" Wonder Woman figure as well as the sword.
Compared to some of the dc figures done nowadays i gotta say, we had it good 6 years ago compared to what we are getting nowadays. Granted, i was never able to get any of these even though i always wanted to get them
Only a little bit different? Dude, it's an entirely different head. The face AND hair are totally different. This is nothing but false advertising. It also makes no sense why she is an entirely different size. Does DCC not know what scale they are using is?
very cool indeed. I just don't like this uniform. The classic one is better. I wish they would relase something inbetween this and the one from the box set.
I'm disappointed with the size. I was really hoping for a single card release of something the size of the Rebirth with accessories. Guess it's off to ebay or hope the designer series uses this engineering
The shield falls off to easy and with the shield on the back it pushes the head down too much. Why did they change the head sculpt? This figure would have been an easy pass if the Wonder Woman in the pack had the same accessories which is why I think they didn't include the accessories in the box set. Now in order to get accessories you have to buy the single versions which doesn't work for Batman cause the hands are a different color and for the Aquaman the pegs are different sizes so you can't exchange those. The box set had a bigger scale but the single packs are the same scale with the original Icons. Which way are they going with these figures? Not to mention the Animated line which had a box set with no accessories and three characters that they already released. DC Collectables is really doing weird stuff with this line amongst their other lines. I don't know if it's to get more money out of us or what. I'm really getting frustrated and on the verge of not collecting any more DC Collectibles figure lines.
cmbrock1 For the shield I was thinking people can super glue magnets both the back harness, armor harness and shield which can possibly solve the issue of the sheild falling. I do agree that the change of face sculpt was a let down but maybe it was budget cost since they cut alot of figures still it's false adversting doing that same for the static figure
Would have been cool if they at least applied the paint on the last minute head sculpt correctly. I went through 5.. yeah 5 friggin packs to finally settle with a less of all evils off center crazy lady make up looking monstrosity. AND.. the head falls off when you attempt to touch it. Is DC collectibles in such bad shape they can't pay the electric bill to keep the lights on when they assemble these things?? Such a shame.. this WAS an incredible line that is now circling the drain.

The original is a better looking head sculpt, but in my opinion doesn't really look like Wonder Woman at all.
I always like WW w/ the silver accents, as oppose to the gold ones. I just wish she had that choker.

I take it back, heat might help it.
Finally. I've been waiting for this figure. It looks as good as I hoped it would too.

what is taking so long for bbts to have storm collectibles ryu in stock?
Will we get an Individual Packaged version of the D.C. comic Icons Rebirth action figures because I don't want to spend too much money on the box set.

Great review bro!!! I like the body of the figure but I'm not in love with the head sculpt.
Awesome Video Jay C love the figure

Was that Grail you had her fighting?

When you place the shield on her back it pushed her head down. 😩
so glad I pro ordered this.
very cool indeed. I just don't like this uniform. The classic one is better. I wish they would relase something inbetween this and the one from the box set.
And the dcuc is still the best of the bunch. Sad that was like 10 years ago!

Personally I don't like either one of the they headsculpts. The promotional one wasn't that great and neither is the one we got. Still a great figure.
i love WW
Have her and favourite ww figure

review the new cyborg deluxe figure
Probably going to review Static next, but the Deluxe Cyborg review is coming soon.
these icon FIGURES are okay ? but they need to be at least 6/12 or 7 inches so they can be more compatible with others .
.
Agreed. These figures are great, the only problem is that they don't fit in with other figure lines.
they told us on Facebook
Cool
why are the females always leaning over? is that just the figure or you not straightening them out?
false advertisement
Has there ever been a Lynda carter Wonder Woman figure?
