Yay! I promise to fulfill the obligations of membership with dignity and grace. Sorry it has to be at Wayne's expense!
(I missed Hogarth as well.)

Well, I just ordered 4 of the "Showcase Presents" Superman figures.
That's one "normal" and one for each Red K head. So I'll have some spare
heads, I guess. Xmas ornaments?

JB,
May I please see more photos of your Wonder Woman collection!?!? I didn't even know you had one. I think that is SO awesome.
Thanks either way,
Marc
(P.S., I will always love your interpretation of the Wonder Woman costume)

She's not as well represented as Superman and Batman, but here you go…

The animated one is the only one close to JB's version of WW that I see here. Is there an official one(of JB's run) that isn't pictured?

I like the Linda Carter looking figure on the back left. Any chance of posting a close up of that one?
Is it a Sideshow Collectible ?

JB,
That is a great Wonder Woman collection. Thank you very much for posting it. I would love to see additions to it as it grows.
Someone mentioned the animated figure looking most like your version of Wonder Woman... actually, your version of the Wonder Woman costume was used quite a few times in the creation of figurines/statuettes, but they were almost always on licensed-out products (e.g., fast-food premiums, Kraft Macaroni and Cheese statuette/toy, etc.). I guess your interpretation/design of Wonder Woman was the official DC house style during that period and used in everything EXCEPT in-house DC Direct figures. Sort of weird, if you ask me. I am attaching the only pic I can find of the Kraft Mac & Cheese toy (I loved it!) --- she was also featured on 1/3 of the box covers (the other 2/3 being Superman and Batman).
I think it also worth noting that, as I see it, JB's interpretation of Wonder Woman's costume influenced every subsequent version (especially the placement of the double-W emblem) --- including Hughes's and Dodson's version. The Dodson version being the one JB just purchased.
