I thought you'd be interested to know that there was actually one more Wonder Woman Barbie, though I don't know if you'll be able to find a picture of her online since she's unbelievably rare. According to the book 'Collector's Encyclopedia Of Barbie Doll Collector's Editions' (2008 Edition) by J. Michael Augustyniak, in 1977 a Wonder Woman Barbie was produced by Mattel's Korea licensee. Mattel was only able to market the doll in Korea because at the time Mego held the license to sell Wonder Woman dolls in the U.S. A little bit of trivia for your next doll club meeting.Treesahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12526585862592345034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5580986768097342172.post-57245393114271382922015-08-08T23:51:34.857-04:002015-08-08T23:51:34.857-04:00Hi Carrickters!

@The grandmomm...Hi The grandmommy and Lisa Neault<br /><br />@The grandmommy - Xena does not approve of joints (because she is not jointed). <br /><br />Xena: I got this, D. Yo, GM, joints is for posers aka people-pleasers. The bend 'em, break 'em crew. Snap, crackle, pop. I'll be throwing bodies, body slamming, and stomping those delicate posers. I'm the warrior-princess. Roars inevitable.<br /><br />D7ana: Um, Xena, the G.I.R.L. Force gals have a WWE tape going ...<br /><br />Xena: Those wrestlers are <i>funny</i>. I gotta run. You got my angle here?<br /><br />D7ana: Yes, I do.<br /><br /><br />@Lisa Neault - that would have been nice. I like that new WW.<br /><br />None of the Mattel WW dolls had boot feet. The Gold Label Barbie Athena Collector doll had boot feet. This <a href="http://experiencethewonder.com/category/dolls-plush/" rel="nofollow">link</a> does a better job showing the Mattel - as well as other - WW dolls. I had difficulties with the official Mattel Barbie links.

@Phyllis...Hi Phyllis, April Perlowski, and jSarie!<br /><br />@Phyllis - Xena won't budge for a Barbie WW. She's promised not to start any trouble. We'll see ;-)<br /><br />@April Perlowski - thanks for alerting me to the missing Barbie WW. I'll add her to the list ;-)<br /><br />No, I am not including the 8" Mego figures. I <i>like</i> Mego's Walton's grandmother so she's an exception; I fit her in among my others. The 8" Mego figures I ignore because of their cookie cutter sameness and blandness ... <br /><br />@jSarie - Xena agrees with you, lol. I'd be anxious about what she'd comment on, etc. But maybe she can pop up now and again ... I like to amuse my readers ;-)<br /><br />I've missed a Mattel playline/deluxe doll from 2003 that I need to add. But yes, I would have thought there were more WW dolls in this size.D7anahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15497306465109590188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5580986768097342172.post-62730816730050131472015-07-31T15:22:23.003-04:002015-07-31T15:22:23.003-04:00Heh, Xena deserves to do regular commentary! ;)
