International Women's Month - The Female Hero

Welcome to March 2020!  Debuting this month...the Female Heroes, in real life and fiction!  Celebrating International Women's Month!

As a kid in the 70's I grew up watching many of these icons kick butt, and take names.  Bionic Woman, Isis, Wonder Woman, Micro Woman, and She-Ra were among the favorites.

But in real life, since the 40's, the "Rosie" Riveters, women who worked in factories and shipyards during World War II, replacing the male who were actively serving in the military, continue to be a celebration today!

Unboxed...Wonder Woman (Shield Block)

Hi Friends!

On a recent visit to Toys R Us, which was unfortunately not a success for picking up Chavonne, turned out to be a decent hit for action figures.  What I discovered on this shopping adventure is that customers were spot on when they said TRU is overpriced.

The original posted price for Wonder Woman (Shield Block) was $19.95.  I made the purchase at $10 (about 40% off) which is probably in the wheelhouse of the Walmart's at $11.

On with the unboxing...

This doll is amazing!

As a kid, I never owned a Wonder Woman action figure.  I am not even sure they drafted one.  But this one is uber cool.  When the movie dropped into the theaters, a huge collection of Wonder Woman/Diana Prince dolls appeared.  This segment of figures includes: Diana Prince & Hidden Sword, Bow-Wielding Wonder Woman, and Wonder Woman Battle Ready.

Her costume is fabulous.  Parts of it is molded to her body, like the breast plate and the under pantie.  She adorns a sword and shield, and stuns with action poses where her shield raises to block her face. 

She is an attractively sculpted doll with soft brown hair fashioning her signature headband.

I cannot promise you this is the last purchase of WW action figures, especially with TRU's departure sales on the rise.
