Well I am notin this fanbase so much as to pick this up but from a fan of the NECA 1/4 scale figures and figures in general I think I can already see some issues. Limited head articulation, no sword holster? the joints are not very seamless, etc. There really needs to be a back view on this one, it would help with seeing how the hair sculpt lays. AND what is she looking up at? That will be an issue too.

I like that NECA is doing stuff in 1/4 scale, and that these clock in around $100, it's an affordable way to collect in that scale. My feelings aside about Bat V Supes, or Gal Gadot as WW, this is not NECA's best work either. Even if NECA nailed this I'd not be interested, but this for me is a miss. Doesn't look as good as other pieces they've done.

Best likeness yet IMO. Just need to lower the head a bit and get rid of the ugly double elbow joints and replace them with high ball hinge joints much Like Diamond Select has been doing for a while. They were close with Ultimate Drake, just neet to make the cut slightly higher.

Oh.... and convert it to 7" scale. 1/4 is way too big.

Movie Wonder Woman doesn't have a scabbard. She just uses a frog on her ugly brown belt, so NECA is accurate here.

1/4 scale is a little big to collect. All of the Lego Minifigures are 1/8 or 1/16 scale. Would like to find the smaller Wonder Women figure.

On Twitter Randy said something along the lines of lightning struck three times it's not gonna strike a fourth time. I hope this is misdirection or something but apparently it's a huge hassle to actually get the deal done each time they've done it. Usually when people ask about the 7" DC shrink-downs they get a "maybe" or "we'll see" not just "no."

You know they're terrified of Neca getting a full collector line as their crap wouldn't stand a chance. Hold up a Mattel Dark Knight Joker and NECA one... It pretty much speaks for itself. |

Well with their Superman and Batman V.S. Alien two packs coming out it may be safe to say that all bets are off at this point. And in response to your above post, I'm pretty sure Mattel only has the 6" scale licence. I think DC Direct had that license still but they dropped their planned 7" line. Hopefully this will leave a sufficient power vacuum for NECA to fill. They're the only ones really worthy of these franchises. Everything Mattel makes is total garbage; paint, sculpt, articulation. The only thing they've got is their seniority as they've been around much longer.

I appreciate this explanation. It makes little sense to me from a business standpoint, but I appreciate the explanation.
