I ordered one on Amazon and one on BBTS. I may cancel the BBTS one and order 2 on Amazon to save $5. I wanted to order from McFarlane’s store, but shipping kills it. If DG Robin or Platinum Freeze had still been available, I would have went with Mcfarlane.

Really bizarre choice; she definitely doesn't remove the tiara in the movie. She should have come with either

So why not include a different tiara that can fit her head? Or an alternate head with the tiara molded on? Oh wait, that’s right. Possible Gold label exclusive.

Still waiting on that comic accurate iconic Wonder Woman.

Her tiara reminds me of the belt on the old Toy Biz '89 Batman, one of my favorite toys. Too bad there isn't a grapple line stored in her forehead. ImageImage

Ordered a Gold Label The Batman movie version of Catwoman, as I was tired of looking at the inaccurate one I bought when the movie came out. Happy to have a nice representation of her on my shelf, as I'm sure her costume will be more fully formed in The Batman Part 2...

If Todd had done this I would have bought one on principle - it would have been a great, screen accurate gag.

The description on ToyArk lists the accessory as tiara boomerang.

A Wonder Woman figure without her tiara in place just really doesn't work at all. So I'm either going to have to trim some of the hoop off of the tiara and glue it to her forehead, or try a head swap with the DC Essentials WW. Or if neither of those work, there's always painting it on. But that's pretty much a last resort.

Maybe it was a last chance effort on McF's part to get out a Gal Gadot WW head sculpt that could be used for other costumes?

Or maybe there's another version coming.

I love this figure. My 2 year old got ahold of it recently and pulled the line out too hard so that now it won't retract. I had to by another one.

But in the movie, the mask doesn't extend any further than past her nose. She can't pull it down further. The Gold Label version fixed this and also used a new texture to match the stocking cap look much better.

Why did they make a removable tiara if they weren’t going to engineer it to slot under the hair of her new head? Way to Mattel that up, Todd! She never throws it like a boomerang in this movie, so it’s another WW84 toy that’s not Cheetah. The Shazamily & Daughters Of Atlas got snubbed!

Most likely the dkr Batman will follow the same pattern. It’ll be a purple and green crazy repaint with extras.
