MSRP: $125
Price I Paid: $74
Edition Size: 5000
Statue Scale: 1/7
Designed by Joelle Jones
Sculpted by Jack Mathews
I'm a fan of Joelle Jones's inky art for DC Comics, and Jack Mathews is my favorite sculptor. Therefore, I usually pre-order or buy Jones's Cover Girls statues within a week of their street dates. However, the pictures that I saw on Instagram and StatueForum.com made the Wonder Woman statue look a tad different from the prototype. Therefore, I waited for a decent discount and nabbed her for $74 (with Free Shipping).
I'm lucky because my copy looks closer to the prototype than anyone else's. The paintwork is great, and it's nice being able to see tiny details such as the grooves in Wonder Woman's armor and the wrinkles/folds/nails on her hands. The lasso is made of a high-quality wire; it has enough springiness to "give" if you press against it but then bounces back into place. The hair is a bit disappointing in that it's not as intricately sculpted as Mera's hair, and the matte paint is rather dull.
The statue is big for 1/7-scale. From the bottom of the boots to the top of her head, Wonder Woman is about 10.5-inches tall. If she were standing straight, her height would be roughly 10.75 inches. This would make Diana of Themyscira about 6'3" tall "in real life"!
Compared to all of the other Joelle Jones Cover Girls, I would rank this second behind Batgirl. Yes, it's true that Batgirl is my favorite character, but the handstand pose is unique enough to place her in front of the other statues, most of whom are standing on their feet waiting for the bus.
