It took more than four decades, but the classic Wonder Woman television series that aired between 1975 and 1979 is at last getting a 1:6 scale figure worthy of the fan-favorite series and beloved star, Lynda Carter. Tweeterhead, the collectible design studio known for high-end statues and busts from pop culture classics such as DC Comics, the Batman 1966 live action TV series, Elvira Mistress of the Dark, and Masters of the Universe, has created the most realistic collectible version of the superheroine so far. Sculpted by Trevor Grove and Matt Black, with mold and casting by Michael Allen, print by SNL Creative, and paint by David Fisher, the limited edition figures are now available for pre-order at online pop culture store Entertainment Earth.
Lynda Carter made the comic book character a household name for a generation of TV viewers, and she seems to come alive as Wonder Woman again on these new sculpts. At 1:6 scale the figures stand 13 inches high. Early viewings at conventions last year revealed something greater than achieved before for the likeness of the actress and character. Each variant has a head sculpt that looks like Lynda Carter as she portrayed the character in the 1970s, plus finely detailed, textured boots, highlighted and detailed life-like skin tones, shorts with seams and replicated fabric textures, realistic fabric wrinkles, sharp paint borders and color-matching nearly identical to stills from the series and promotional photographs.
Entertainment Earth is now taking pre-orders for three versions of the Tweeterhead figures at the following links: Two versions reflect her costume from Season 1 in 1975, both with a star-spangled pedestal (one without a cape, available here, and one with a cape, available here) and a third variant sees her later in the series, posed in a stride, with a base in a bursting star pattern (available here). Each is limited to 350 pieces, and includes a hand-numbered base and hand-numbered foiled certificate.
Take a look at these poses for all three designs:
Check the above links to the Entertainment Earth website for estimated delivery dates and more details on each figure. And because you’re probably humming it by now, you might as well listen to the theme song again.

The figures’ likeness to Ms. Carter is uncanny. Between the wonderful costume and paint work (especially the eyes), Tweeterhead has really knocked this one out of the park. And additional props definitely go out to whoever the talented individual was that designed that amazing shooting star base. Fantastic stuff!
