JB, any interest in these statues? Despite the television show influence, they're related to those Dick Sprang-esque opening titles (which frankly were always the best part of the show!)

To the action figure afficionados,
I have 2 Wonder Woman action figure questions for anyone who might be
able to help:
1) A few years ago a Wonder Woman action figure was created for the JLA
Classified line. It looked like it was based on Ed McGuinness's art (I may
have the name wrong). Two versions are showing up for sale on eBay
(and other places) one that has her tiara, belt, emblem painted "comic
book yellow" and another version where those yellow items are painted in
metallic gold; can anyone tell me which was the first version and which
came later as a repaint?
2) I have a few Wonder Woman items (a plastic bank, action figures, etc.),
where the "yellow" parts (e.g., tiara, emblem, belt) are painted metallic
gold. I have noticed that some of these metallic gold paint jobs
eventually turn a greenish/gold -- a result of oxidation of the
metals in the paint? I was never very good at science.
Does anyone know if the more modern/recent DC Direct figures (like the
above-mentioned WW JLA Classified) have metallic paints that are
resistant to this oxidation, or is it an unavoidable problem? Which begs
for a follow-up, if these metallic paints will indeed oxidize over time,
why continue using them??
Thank you in advance for any help/info!

The yellow is the original JLA Classified release. The metallic gold is the recent JLA Classified: Classic re-release.

Sorry, guys. For those interested in that Iron Man (like me) I looked it up again and found out that the Iron Man two-pack ships in August. Here's a site for it.
