Oh gee, look, another Wonder Woman....I can think of so many DC females that would make great dolls - why is it always Wonder Woman? (yes, I did look further and I know there are others - I'm pleasantly surprised that they did Starfire and Raven)
Well, the nice thing about Wonder Woman is that there is a 22-inch version this year. That costume should fit an Obitsu (*not* the slim 60, the normal soft body might work) or Volks DDdy, or at least come close enough not to matter.
The biggest thing Tonner has done with the larger dolls is the arm articulation. Previously the 22-inch ladies didn't have articulated wrists, and their hands were far more mannequin like. The hands are more expressive now, and the articulated wrists are a huge improvement. Combine that with inset eyes and wigs and they become a far more realistic proposition for vinyl collectors of larger ladies.. No where near as pose-able as an Obitsu or Volks, but close and if you're not confident on doing your own face up, the American Models come with a decent standard face too.
Tonner is improving in a number of ways. Still I wish that they wouldn't throw so much emphasis on the slim 16-inch Antoinette body and on all their Tonner Character Figures. It means that they don't pay near enough attention to Miss DeeAnna Denton.
