Description:
This model kit is sculpted in the likeness of Wonder Woman as she appears in the Justice twelve-issue series of comic books (published August 2005 - June 2007). Created by Alex Ross, Jim Krueger and Doug Braithwaite, the series falls out-of-continuity and focuses on the confrontations between the Justice League of America and the Legion of Doom.
Before assembling the kit, Antony felt that the portrait seemed too angular and harsh when compared to Alex Ross' artwork. After many hours of sanding, shaping and re-sculpting, Wonder Woman received a virtual brow lift, nose job, lip enhancement, chin reduction and jaw reshaping. Antony also sanded off the raised star pattern on her pants in favor of meticulously placing smaller star decals in the exact pattern that Alex Ross illustrates them.
These adjustments to the original sculpt softened the overall presence and readied the figure for a beautiful paint job with all metallic accents achieved from Antony's expert application of Bare Metal Foil. Only one earring was visible on the original casting, so Antony custom sculpted a second one! A single piece of 20 gauge gold wire was shaped through both fists to make the lasso.
The figure is mounted on an octagonal black base with an embossed JLA logo.
