Thanks everyone :)

Oh and buyer beware the recent DCUC Wave 4 Wonder Woman figures showing up on eBay from china are knock-offs.

Here is the Knock-off:

All of us collectors need to watch out for each other :smgrin:

I also have an original I was just picking an extra for a JLA display. The seller that I bought mine from is mybjd he has several others listed. I emailed him about it and sent me a half refund, which is better than the hassle to send the item back so I'm good.

The things to look out on these that I've noticed is on the fake the paint isn't as crisp and a bit sloppy in some areas. She is missing the blue highlights in her hair, the stars on her trunks are smudged, and the flesh tone paint doesn't cover some of the limbs completely either. The sculpt is not a sharp as the original one, you can see extra mold flashing on the tiara and the jaw line, the belt is also slightly misshaped, and the hands are poorly molded as well on one hand the fingers look like sausages and the other is very thin so thin it looks like the could easily break off. Plus with these Wave 4 WW pretty much bet if it's coming from Hong Kong it's a fake Wonder Woman.

The funny part is that they kept the ankle pivots like on the original Wave 4 Wonder Woman. When Mattel dropped that point of articulation to supposely to cut cost, but a KO company can afford to keep it on their Knock-offs... LOL

Thanks for the detailed break-down of the differences, Olds... all I could originally spot was the eyes, but now that you've listed them, I can't "un" see them, which is a shame - I'd really like a second WW. many of my displays are iterations of the League, including a JLU, a JLI, and a SuperFriends...

I've got extras of Batman and Supes aplently thanks to things like the 5 packs and 2 packs, two Robins thanks to wave 16 (meh on the other Robins), an army of Hals, enough Flashes thanks to Wally's appearance, heck, even a BA and GA/SA Hawkman, and a few doubles of Aquaman fer cryin out loud - but only one WW.

Golden Age Wonder Woman would have been a cool variant. I'm just building my collection now and I see they never made one.
