Nine years ago, almost to the day, I purchased my first 12" action figure. As an adult toy enthusiast, I always assumed I would stick to the smaller collector-friendly lines. But when I purchased that first figure (a Batman Unlimited Wonder Woman), I was instantly hooked. Flash forward to 2025 and I have over sixty 12" ladies in their own special display. The last few years, however, have been a bit redundant and predictable. Hasbro and Mattel or Spinmaster would push out a few sparse figures for each Marvel or DC theatrical release. And as much as I appreciate them, I can admit it was getting a bit boring. But then this winter I discovered the Gormiti The New Era toy assortment from Giochi Preziosi and I was thrilled to see a ton of interesting 12" figures included. My favorite by a longshot was this 12" light-up Windel, the Gormita of the Air Clan, figure. Her design looks like some otherworldly deity and completely captures my imagination. She's so cool. Let's check out the 12" Windel below!
Windel comes with a double-sided blade and an Air Chakram.
Windel's right wrist has an (intentionally) loose spinning joint so you can spin her bladed weapon like a propeller.
This version of Windel has a light-up feature. There is an On/Off switch between her shoulderblades to conserve the batteries, but to light her up, you have to press the button on her abdomen. The light source is in her torso, but her wings, eyes, and forearms all have translucent light-piping to capture the effect.
Time for some Group and Comparison Pics!
Here is the 12" Windel with her 6" figure.
And here she is with the 12" Skye figure.
Cheers!
