After a long hiatus (because life is full of new surprises), I’m back with my first full figure review of the year to celebrate the beginning of 2015, just for you!
I’m honored and super excited to announce today’s figure:
Kotobukiya’s DC Armored Wonder Woman Bishoujo Statue
While my brother idolized Superman as a kid, the tall, strong, beautiful Amazonian princess with black hair matching mine was my hero. Not only was I drawn to her amazing dexterity and strength to save the day, but her protective suit was cute, yet built for a warrior. Kotobukiya’s DC Armored Wonder Woman Bishoujo Statue clearly portrays this, making me feel like a kid in awe all over again.
Quick info:
- 1/7 scale at nearly 9 ½ inches tall
- clear blue plastic base for easy display
- interchangeable offensive and defensive left hands
Here’s a quick video for a peek at Wonder Woman’s finer details.
Here is the full description from the Kotobukiya store product page:
A KOTOBUKIYA Japanese import! Coming up next in the DC Comics Bishoujo Collection (combining DC’s superheroines and villains with traditional Japanese stylings) is a brand new version of the Amazonian princess and member of DC’s “Trinity,” ARMORED WONDER WOMAN! Since her comic book debut in 1941, Princess Diana has been an icon of female power, intelligence, and grace. Arriving in “man’s world” from the Amazonian island home of Themyscira, Diana donned a red, white and blue costume to protect the world as Wonder Woman! The timeless character returns to the Japanese Bishoujo (pretty girl) style in a new armored look inspired by Japan’s renowned illustrator Shunya Yamashita.
Wonder Woman explodes into action like never before in this dynamic statue that truly combines the character’s beauty with her tough spirit. The Amazonian is frozen in action, leaning back on one foot while simultaneously deflecting attacks with her magical bracelets! Ever the confident warrior, Diana doesn’t flinch under the unseen barrage but keeps her wits about her with a stoic expression on her Bishoujo-style face. Wonder Woman is clad in a reinforced version of her iconic outfit complete with metallic red and gold top decorated with an eagle, large gold belt, star-spangled blue and white skirt, knee-high red, white, and gold boots, and a matching red cape with gold edges. Of course, no depiction of the warrior woman would be complete without her silver bracelets, the magical lasso at her waist, and the tiara on her forehead! You can even display Wonder Woman in two ways: defending herself as usual with her fists clenched or holding a dagger so she can go on the offensive.
Constructed of high-quality pvc plastic and standing nearly 9 ½ inches tall (in the ultimate 1/7 scale) on her exclusive display base, Wonder Woman was sculpted by Cigua. Display the warrior princess on her own or together with other DC Bishoujo statues like Supergirl, Batgirl, or the Huntress!

Special thanks to Kotobukiya’s Dan Lujan, who was able to generously provide me with the figure.
TL;DR Kotobukiya’s Armored Wonder Woman is absolutely gorgeous! All figure collectors, especially fans of the DC universe, need her in their collections.
As you may have noticed, this figure review has somewhat of a different format than my usual unboxing/figure review videos. Did you like this format better? Or do you prefer a video-only experience?
