This is wondrous, another Wonder Girl!
Well, I wasn't quite so happy with my
Wonder Girl figure. While DCUC figures are certainly dated, Cassandra's was extra clunky. From the weird proportions to... well, everything about it, so I thought... why not get
another take on the
same character?
Well, as per usual, DC Direct leaves aside articulation in order to
prioritize the sculpt, and... look at the comparison! She's much smaller, as she should, her legs don't look all wonky, her expression doesn't look devoid of emotions, the symbol on her chest looks much better and the colors are more
vibrant. Easily a much better figure all around.
That said... yeah, the articulation kinda sucks. She can turn her hands, but no swivels anywhere, and her legs can
only move forward and backward. She has single jointed elbows and knees, but there's not much you can get out of them, and her arms can move sideways and upwards. I mean... it's decent, but nothing special. BUT, to be fair, DCUC's figure was only
slightly more articulated than this!
Her lasso is kinda
pathetic. It consists of a few strands of golden thread knit together. It will
probably come undone any time now.
That's as far as the arms can move sideways It's not too bad.
Y'know, I dig this take on the character. Much more vibrant, in both color and sculpt, so I'll take the loss on articulation and get a better looking fig out of it.
