I really wasn't planning on buying this figure. I tend to avoid simple repaints of characters. Especially in this case where the Series 01 gold details are simply painted silver. But for some reason I found this particular figure irresistible. I really like this New 52 color scheme for Wonder Woman and I feel like its days are numbered. Between the new movie styling and the potential redesigns in the upcoming DC Rebirth event, I'm sure the powers that be will be changing her standard look shortly. While I will never attempt to be a Wonder Woman completest (I wouldn't even know where to begin!), I feel I could potentially be a New 52 Wonder Woman completest. So with that odd sense of loyalty to this costume, this lovely lady quickly found her way into my collection. On the bright side though, I don't really have to write much because I just reviewed her two months ago. I'm now curious to see if we'll get New 52 repaints of all the Dawn of Justice Wonder Women. I think it's a safe bet. Let's check out Diana below!
Time for some Group and Comparison Pics!
Here she is next to her Series 01 version. The differences are (1) Gold accents are now silver, (2) Weapons are a lighter shade (3) Red and Blue costume details are lighter now, (4) Her harness and hair went from varying shades of dark brown to black, and (5) Her boots went from Red to Blue.

Cheers!
Looks good!
ReplyDeletePrefer the gold over the silver -- New 52 still just doesn't look right to me, haha! But it's a repaint that makes sense.
ReplyDeleteWell lucky for you this version seems to be a thing of the past. The new comic designs after the Rebirth event this summer have her drawn in an outfit very similar to the movie style.
