Kain you know as well as I do that there had to be atleast 1 made possibly more other wise the would not have shown him at SDCC and just did a picture. You can be sure the SDCC one is somewhere as we speak. We all know asking Neitlich would be like asking a weather rock the weather. Pointless, that person is no better then a Lawyer. But I was not being serious either. I am onboard with getting them early myself I telling Matty to GTH. On the plus side they wont be fooling around with my money any more and the Customs Market is going to be huge and there wont be squat mattel can say

Ok in looking at Ra's Al Ghul I figured out what his head would be good for... Making Merlyn

do you have hints to see the difference between a chinese fake version and the true Wonder woman or other DC classics action figure? (a part from maybe the bad plastic)

(Excuse my poor english)

Pretty much bet if it's coming from Hong Kong it's a fake Wonder Woman. The seller that I bought mine from is mybjd he has several others listed. I emailed him about it and offered a half refund, which is better than the hassle to send the item back.

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.

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

Thank you for your reply,

I am actually in negociation with someone about the wonder woman figure and I wanted to have all cards in my hands to check if I wasn't been played as a fool.

[CMIII]

it's hard to tell with chinese stuff. I bought 3 figures from China only 2 sit on display one is the Glow in the Dark Spectre got him for under $20 and I didn't want another Darkseid piece floating around.

That knockoff wonder woman would be an excellent buck for some customs

[CMIII]

if you look at both the Stars are the give away. The Knockoff they are Light Blue not white in the Real

Right... Nothing good for DC figures in my opinion. I just picked up an extra superman vs. zod movie masters two pack for 10 bucks below the retail.

[Dr Kain]

Why would I want the N52 Capt Marvel when I will never be able to even complete my N52 JL?

[CMIII]

I got him way back in July but because I am SHAZAM! fan. Other wise I picked up Elasti-Girl and Constantine on the 14th. If the put up Red Rocket, Starman, and Metron I might bite but I think I can get them on Amazon or Ebay for less

[Manji1981]

New Guys (and a Girl to my collection):

[1987olds442]

I did a little parts swapping with my Ra's al Ghul. First I swapped out the head for the Hush Ra's head and then I swapped the hands with John Constantine. I actually think the hand swap is beneficial for both of them.

[Manji1981]

The hand swap is a really good idea! The gun, I'm not quite sure. I should use a bottle of something maybe the one with the Jyuza action figure from revoltech, I don't know...

The head of Ras is better too.

[Dr Kain]

I actually do not like that Ra's head. I used to own the HUSH toy and thought their Ra's figure sucked.

Well I'm not planning on leaving it displayed with the gun. I bought a transparent casting of a lighter from casting cave that I'm going to paint up for that hand. The other hand actually looks like it's modeled where it can hold a cigarette which I'll make for that one.

Yeah it's not the best, but better than the original.

Someone on another forum mentioned that the Hush Ra's head looks like Kurtwood Smith, and I cannot unsee it. Now my Ra's al Ghul keeps calling everyone a Dumbass!

I'm thinking after a paint job it will look better.

[squeezeplay]

I wish the Trinity Ra's was cheaper to acquire. The head and cloak on that are miles better to be transplanted to the DCIE Ra's.

Oddly enough, my comic shop had that figure for years. I kept passing on it every time they had a 50% off all figures say because I was waiting for Mattel to do one. Now I wish I had so I could swap the head since I think that head is much better than the HUSH one.

My LCS had theirs for about a week or so, back when that series first came out. Now on eBay they're $30 and up.

I currently have a Hush head and sword on a DCUC Sandman body with no cape. I want the Trinity figure so badly...

[Dr Kain]

Well, it is still far from perfect, but at least he feels more like Ra's:



However, check out the fix this dude named AcidDragon did:

[CMIII]

Well the Last actual Club Figures have been paid for now time for Mattel to screw the DC Fans completely in 2014 unless they go to BBTS

[Dr Kain]

Ugh, I really wish there was a way to just have my bank block Matty this month, but they won't.

[CMIII]

We all bought the single figure that helped ended the Line. I considered not putting the money on the Prepaid card

[Dr Kain]

So yeah, I was charged for Batretard. I wonder if denying the package will get me my $32 back from Matty when they receive the figure back...

[CMIII]

I think it's funny people who generally do not agree on almost anything agree on this polished turd, and we have yet to get the figure I wonder how long until Batzarro ends up at Big Lots, CW stores, Marshals, Homegoods, Christmas Tree shops not selling?
