WONDER WOMAN - Adam Hughes Art of War Statue


The Adam Hughes version of Wonder Woman from the Art of War series of statues portrays her in a fairly traditional outfit. The gold, maroon and blue colors match the rest of the line so far as I can tell (I currently have 3 statues from the series), and the base matches as well, providing some consistency. The scale is slightly off, however, with this statue coming in just under 7" tall, while the Yannick Paquette version I reviewed earlier reaches nearly 7 & 1/2". It doesn't sound like a big difference, but on the shelf it's quite noticeable.

The Hughes Wonder Woman cradles her sword (mine doesn't quite line up to the put the blade into her hand), and matches the others that I own in that she doesn't have a lasso. Her copious mane of hair is blowing off to the side, and she stands with one foot out in front of the other, giving her hips a more notable slant from the back. The statue is nicely sculpted and well-painted, though it looks like they forgot to paint her earrings red. Her earlobes look oddly huge and blobby as a result. Otherwise, everything is sharp and neat, even the white on the boots. It's a beautiful statue overall, and displays really nicely in the group!
