In the photo above, you can really see how unique her costume is compared to her previous non-DC Super Hero Girls iterations. I’m really glad that Diana is getting a lot more love out of LEGO (her own movie certainly helped with that) and that she’s a lot more prominent in LEGO sets.Įdit: Just realised I missed the Wonder Woman from Mighty Micros. Here’s a look at all the Wonder Woman minifigures and minidoll that LEGO have created over the years. One of the most striking elements of her Post-New 52 costume is the spiked wristblades, which weren’t captured here. Unfortunately, there is no arm printing which is a bit of a disappointment as I would’ve expected some golden bracelets at the very least. Here’s a look at the back printing and her alternate angry face. It’s a very bad-ass look, and it certainly doesn’t look like any existing Wonder Woman costume thanks to there being not much exposed skin. She has the original Wonder Woman hairpiece with the gold tiara(from 6862) and also comes with a gold Lasso of Truth accessory. The dark blue accents serve to prevent the red from overpowering the suit, and the gold detail are particularly muted and understated. It’s more armoured body-suit than skirt and skimpy bustier which really makes Diana look like she’s ready to smash some supervillains to a pulp. The costume is dominated by red, giving it a very aggressive and almost futuristic cybernetic suit vibe. This minifigure sees Wonder Woman don her post-New 52 Costume, which is renowned for covering up a lot of skin.īack to the LEGO minifigure, the designers have done a great job replicating the look from the comics. Quite possibly one of the nicest Wonder Woman minifigs yet. With these DK LEGO Books, I usually looking forward to the photos, but this one just didn’t do it for me.įor many LEGO fans, the main draw of the DK DC Super Heroes Awesome Guide is the exclusive Wonder Woman minifigure and she is a beauty. Don’t mean to brag, but I probably could’ve done a better job with some of the non-render photos. Some of the minifigure photos were poorly lit and could’ve used a lot more brightening. There is minimal photoshopping, so in some photos you can see a lot of the rougher printing of minifigures that you can only notice up close. It employs a mix of renders and actual photography of the minifigures. One thing I noticed was the inconsistent photography in the book. My cursory read was more about looking at the photos and actual LEGO facts (which was slightly lacking). As an adult LEGO fan, I briefly flipped through the pages, but it didn’t really suck me in. If you’re a parent who wants to get their kids to read more, this should be a fun little pickup and addition to your collection of LEGO books. It’s got that chaotic children’s magazine vibe going for it, with bright colours, jazzy sentences and plenty of factoids littered across the pages. The content is mostly aimed at younger super hero fans, and I do like how it’s all laid out. Like the Character Encyclopaedias, you can expect a wealth of trivia and fun facts about your favourite super heroes in the book, but The Awesome Guide has a bit more of a fun vibe to it. If you’ve owned any of DK’s LEGO Character Encyclopaedias (like the recent DC one), you should be familiar territory but there are a few differences. It’s currently US$11.60 which is a great deal for an awesome minifigure. If you’re in the US or the UK, you can pick a copy up from Amazon. I thought that Big W’s price was pretty good and it was pretty easy to get to for me.īig W’s price was much cheaper than Book Depository so it didn’t make sense for me to buy it online. I got mine from Big W, and I paid AU$20 for it.The RRP of this book in Australia is $29.99, but you should never pay full price for it. The Awesome Guide is the latest offering from DK’s series of hardcover LEGO books and features a fun, lighthearted take on the ever-growing library of LEGO DC Super Hero characters. Or as I like to call it, I bought a LEGO Wonder Woman minifigure that so happened to come with a free book. It’s been awhile since I’ve reviewed a DK LEGO book, but with the recent release of the new LEGO DC Super Heroes: The Awesome Guide, I couldn’t resist picking this one up from the shops, mostly because of the brand new exclusive Wonder Woman minifigure.
