Mafex - Wonder Woman (Justice League Movie)




Don't get me wrong, I'm a DC fan for sure, but Justice League wasn't a great movie. I liked parts of it, sure. I enjoyed the lighter tone (I don't really care about the Zack Snyder "cut" or whatever it is, but I'll probably watch it anyway). It wasn't DCEUs best or worst movie. Gal Gadot though I enjoyed as Wonder Woman. She appears to be Bruce's first ally in forming a team to find the other Mother Boxes sought after by Steppenwolf, who is a terrible villain. 

This figure scales well with the other DC Mafex film figures, and is decent, though not a great likeness to the actress. The paint and sculpt are great so that helps it out a lot! The accessories are also great even if they have a missed opportunity with the extra head - it has hair in a different style but the expression is more or less the same! Odd. 
The articulation has some odd gapping in the shoulder but is otherwise very good as well. You can get her in tons of poses and as an added plus they made her hair out of very soft material so that she can actually turn her head and has some decent range! What?! A female figure with long hair that allows head movement? Yes! It's true.
