Keep seeing this figure listed here in Canada for like 45 bucks, is this the price of this figure? or is it just getting a "oh it's popular" mark up? because I don't have any desire to pay 45 bucks for this when Multiverse figures usually hit at 30, but by the second week of release are 20.
I do want this, but don't really need it, since I already have an abundance of WW figures, but also I'd rather the Chase Variant, which I'm betting I wouldn't get.
I've been waiting for this in ages but missed the preorder in BBTS. I could not even find it in Amazon.
if anyone perordered Wonder Woman from Target, she's $6 cheaper this week and Target will do a price adjustment for you, just a FYI if anyone wanted to save a couple bucks. you can do it via their online chat and it just takes a couple minutes.
I think I actually prefer the original release. As big of a fan as I am of traditional comic versions and (what I think most would refer to as) "classic colors", that yellow just seems a little garish, like it doesn't fit the sculpt. Of course, That's been my opinion of most of these recent platinum editions, Hawkman being the most obvious example.
I've been waiting for it for days. But it was morning in the US and night time in my country when she was listed in BBTS. I fell asleep.The next day, sold out. I hope there will be preorder restock. I've been checking almost every hour for a restock!
Ohhh Chase Variant WW looking better then the regular one, of course I can't just go and buy it, I gotta roll the dice, why Todd!? think of the money you'd make if you just released it like a normal person.
I do like the chase version as she's more of a classic look, but most of my multiverse figures so far are modern versions, so I may stick with the regular one.

They are exquisite and someone must like them because there are 500+ figures in the line in 3 years and 500 more on the way at this rate. The articulation is import quality and this line is killing Marvel Legends at the moment. Legends is fine but they are in some kind of rut and putting out garbage for the most part. Anyway, I'll take these crudely done pieces of art and be on my way.
Dude, I can't make up my mind if I want some of what you're smoking or not. I would love to be as enraptured by an action figure line as you seem to be, but I'd actually prefer to keep a more balanced view of reality.
"These figures are ...exquisite..." The word "exquisite"is suited for things in the realm of museum-quality artwork, or at least figures made by companies like Hot Toys, Sideshow and other high-end pieces that cost hundreds, if not thousands. And even they don't always deserve that term. The corners that have to be cut to produce figs in this price range disqualify them from "exquisite" before they even get to the starting gate."...someone must like them..." Who said "someone" doesn't like them? Nobody said that. But unlike in your comment, the vast majority of us like to retain the ability to discern good ANDbad to at least some degree. McFarlane has a LOT of both in their products. I love some of their figs (in spite of shortcomings), but there are others you would literally have to pay me to put on a shelf in my house. In fact, just for fun, I've shown some of these figs to members of my family who don't collect at all, and they immediately burst into laughter over things like inhuman body proportionsor terrible face sculpts without me pointing out a thing.)"...articulation is import quality..." Okay, this is on par with the "exquisite" thing. Have you actually taken many of these out of the package? Iask, because of repeated personal experience and the fact that Ican point to countless YouTube reviewers who will disagree with you ALL DAY about the articulation, especially in the legs, where many of these figures really suffer."...this line is killing Marvel Legends..." I don't think anybody brought up Marvel Legends, so I'm not sure how this is relevant or what criteria you're using (other than personal opinion from a sample size of one), but thisis a completely different license (i.e., DC vs. Marvel). Yes, Legends have their own issues. Plenty of them. They drive me absolutely bonkers at times, just like McFarlane, though often for different reasons. Frankly, I'd like to merge the strengths of these two companies, because there's a lot they could learn/gain from each other, and those things would help cancel out each others' shortcomings, at least in part.So, please enjoy this apparent rapture in which you find yourself. I've been collecting for several decades, and I've never been that over-the-moon with any company or line.

Crudely done was harsh, but McFarlane figures are not as well made as you say. They frequently come in weird preposed positions that limit their articulation (I'm looking at Superman right now, whose legs are bent in a way that is clearly made for that landing from flying pose that McFarlane loves). We all know about the side eyes issue with a ton of early figures. He also has a habit of making 10 subpar heads and then releasing one fantastic version . . . and then the fantastic version is impossible to get (again, I'm looking at Action Comics Superman and Knightfall Batman compared to the more numerous Rebirth versions that clogged stores and Amazon). I could mention hunched over Batwoman, Injustice Supergirl's weird dirty blonde hair, and how hard so many of these are to pose without their stands, but I will just leave it at that.
I am buying McFarlane's figures, so I don't think they are terrible. And I think criticism of this WW (which is sold out everywhere) and classic (really Helen Slater) Supergirl was over the top and ridiculous. But these are popular because people have been starved for DC figures for a long time. If Hasbro was making this line to the quality of Legends or Classified, it would be better. But these are better than the inconsistent DC Direct figures and the frequently awful Mattel versions.
