John, if I am correct, the two specials which have been released so far in UK are Darkseid and now Bane, whereas in France, the two specials are Doomsday and Killercroc.
Do you know why there is a difference between countries ?

To answer Scott (who I HATE... wink!)... Yes! I am THRILLED that I won it!
I think it's nice looking, you have to manage your expectation with these little lead figurines; the paint jobs on figures this small is hit & miss and I am not crazy about the eyes on Wonder Woman.
I am VERY excited for it to arrive!
I have a MASSIVE, I mean MASSIVE Wonder Woman and DC Figures collection; this will be amongst them, but not necessarily on display. I am saving up for a 2 bedroom/1 bath condo and I plan to have a beautiful den/collectibles display room, but, for now everything remains in package in big protective plastic storage containers in my storage unit.
I did have the disposable income for this figure. I just paid off a credit card, had my rent paid for next month, and just did my grocery. I was good to go for $29 bucks.

Richard, I'd prefer Killer Croc over Bane or Doomsday.

I made a mistake to pick up Doomsday since I don't like the character in the first place. Killer Croc on the other hand is a pure joy.
Is Supergirl already out in Ireland ? She's suposed to be released at the end of the week in France.

The end of this week too.
I think she'll be a miss for me.

Very nice Captain Cold.
He carries two guns, but has only one holster?

I just saw Supergirl yesterday, but decided not to pick up her since I don't like the character and the paint job on the face was a mess !
It is my first "missing" character in this collection, but in 2 weeks : SHAZAM !!!
They also decided to release the Special Batman (the one which was offered as a subscription gift), but I think I will pass (you know, I just decided to collect some of this "Black and White" statues and I fear I will run out of space pretty soon ...)
Here is a pic, thanks to http://figurines.dc.free.fr/

I told my chum in England he could cancel my "subscription" once I had Wonder Woman, and I'll wait for the American releases to start picking up the rest. I'm pretty sure I'll snag Supergirl. She seems only a wee bit of work away from the character I knew in my youth.
