Hot Toys Wonder Woman (WB 100)

Grown complacent, they have

Competition, they will encounter

They are Warner bros, that is what they call themselves

That's so weird, I've seen it written like that as shorthand many times, but I've never actually heard anyone verbally refer to them as "bros" before.

Are there any other examples of this (from the studio)? Not arguing, but genuinely curious.

I had an extra damaged Wonder Woman 84 silicon torso at my disposal and decided to remove the silicon to check out the frame. The arms are entirely metal, which is nice. BUT I DISCOVERED THAT THE NECK JOINT is not an actual joint at the base of the neck allowing it to pivot forward and back, but just a thin piece of aluminum that easy snaps in half after enough use. So be warned, as it's buried deep in the body and irreparable. Fortunately, this was already being destroyed, so it was no big deal. BUT I will definitely not be articulating the lower neck on my pristine figures. I'm sharing this here in the WW 100 thread because I'm assuming they will be using the same body.

EDIT: I should mention I intentionally broke the neck joint here to see how many bends back and forward it would take of normal articulation. It took about ten bends forward then back. It’s not even aluminum I think it’s just some sort of cheap poured alloy.

As you can see in the pic below, the silicon is poured in a mold directly onto the body's frame. It's bonded directly to the upper torso, and had to be separated carefully with an exacto. It did not appear bonded though to the arms or neck.

Just saw this on facebook (pic not mine). That hair is just not being managed well. It's just an overall really sloppy presentation.

Do you have one of your own that is managed well?

Yes, just Google them/go on their website

Not sure what you mean. This hasn’t been released yet. I’m mentioning that HT have not seemed to manage the styling well when displaying it. I mean hell, you can even see the white adhesive on the forehead they used to glue the tiara on, lol.

Oh wait are you being sarcastic? I can never tell on these boards.

Somehow looks WORSE than the synthetic crap they used in the past!

...I did Google it, otherwise I wouldn't be asking. And nope, can't find a single official example.

What exactly are you referring to on their website? Even their studio tour videos verbally refer to the studio as "Warner Brothers."

Not sure why you're being coy, but whatever floats your boat...

It‘s fascinating seeing the inner workings and parts of these figures, but I can’t help but feel a bit uneasy seeing them dissected/damaged

I just left the Harry Potter store in NYC and everything is branded as Warner Bros. Including the merchandise and all the branding/signs out front of the store.

When they refer to Warner Bros. it’s only ever in text form and has the dot on the end to indicate it’s abbreviated. Verbally it’s always Warner Brothers. I have never heard the studio verbally use Warner Bros anytime anywhere. It sounds ridiculous. HT as usual are doing their own Tropic Thunder alternate version way of doing things.

Oh no. I just didnt know that it released yet. I havent kept up with the boards and been out of collecting for a while.

Yeah, it looks like it's still going to need some management. But I'm used to dealing with the hair on my other WW figures, so it's no big deal to me. I will say the sculpt and paint apps are really good on this. It looks like they modified the GA sculpt to make it a bit different. Whoever glued on the tiara has me cracking up though

I don't disagree with that. I understand that it is written that way, has been for as long as I can recall, but what I'm referring to is having someone verbally refer to it as "Warner bros."

Pretty sure Warner Bro's have never referred to themselves verbally (emphasis on verbally) as "Warner bros."

Thank you, this is my point exactly. And I completely agree with you; nearly spit out my coffee when I heard the guy say "Warner bros!"

For everyone else, I apologize for this off topic discussion. I wasn't expecting us to go down this rabbit hole!

pretty tempting to potentially just get my hands on it as my curiosity of what the final product will be like in hand is nudging at me, but must resist. Gotta just be patient for whatever and whenever InArt may produce her.

Well that took about 12 hours!

Yep, I debated for about half an hour then decided to go ahead and try my luck. I'm curious to see how it turns out and with it being an exclusive, I enjoy that aspect. I will still get the InArt once released as well and check out the side by side comparisons.
