Action Figure #438: DC Collectibles New 52 Wonder Girl

  I guess you can't have enough Cassies...

 I promise, this is the last Wonder Girl that I'm gonna buy, well, as long as we are speaking about Cassie, since I do need a Donna Troy in my collection. Regardless, I always felt that as edgy as it was, I kinda liked Cass' New 52's design.
 Another figure that prioritizes sculpt over articulation... I think she looks fantastic. The golden armor pieces could've been done a bit more metallic-y, but I love the sparkly look they gave her leotard. It looks amazing on her. This version of Cass wore the Lasso on her waist, but as far as the figure goes... it's stuck there as a belt and nothing else, even though she comes with an open hand.
 And the articulations is... the articulation. Arms and legs are on balljoints, but no waist or ab articulation whatsoever. The knees and elbows are on single-jointed. She has swivels on her biceps, gauntlets and boots. Overall, it's slightly more articulation than your average DC Collectibles figures, but it's still pretty lackluster. She's a bit taller than Bucky-Cap.
 This is as far forward as the legs can go, and as much as her knees can bend.
 I feel that among the DC Collectibles and DC Direct figures that I own this one has one of the better sculpt-to-articulation quality ratio. No awkward pre-pose, and an acceptable amount of articulation points to have her doing some fun stuff.
