Because the 3.3/4" figures are DCC (Technically Graffiti Designs, or something. Whatever it's called, it's an outside company being distribnuted by DCC), not Mattel. Two different companies.

Also, because Wonder Woman is a girl. And some knucklehead somewhere got it in his mind that girl characters don't sell to boys.
Never mind the fact that there really are very few truely strong (Character wise, not nessisarily powerful) women characters in boys entertainment to show little boys that women can be just as cool as men (Avatar, and Young Justice are the exceptions, not the rules. Avengers was reeeeeally and pathetically light on female characters. Green Lantern, there's no reason Arisia, Boodika, or Laira could have been in the main cast, also)
Thus, Mattel only makes girls for adult collectors. Which is why they were fairly rare in DCUC, but now make up almost half of the CIE subscription.
