The color looks really funky. The skin is like 2 shades off and something looks wrong with the lips & eyes. I do have to give them credit for doing a work decidedly less insipid than previous pieces, as the line has a trend of tossing the legs into dramatic poses. In contrast, the sculptwork is pretty fine and the face actually has a mature look from a side-angle (and if not for the hair, it almost reminds me of older character designs). The accessories on the base are a pretty good mix, but the normal corkwood look of the stand itself is a little lame. A more marble look would've been the intuitive choice, given the characters Grecian overtones.
My only other qualms are that the definition on her quadriceps looks a little funky (particularly the left one from the photos presented) and the fact they chose to sculpt a belly button into her metal belt.

Meant to say "less insipid design". Really wish there was an edit button or something.
I can't even keep track of everybody in the line so far. Seems like a non-stop parade. I think my most wanted additions would be Power Girl, Black Canary, and Nico Minoru although that one is obviously never going to happen. Canary seems like a definite shoo-in at some point and I imagine that on the Marvel side X-23 will probably warrant an inclusion some time down the road.

DAMN, I really like this one. I usually find wonder woman really bland aesthetically, but this is hot.

Pictures of Kotobukiya's X-23 are actually already up on Marvel's site. She's on their X-Force line though and not a Bishoujo figure. Sideshow also has a Beast comiquette coming. Someone should really get on that make an official post about it here.
The reds in that are gorgeous! They remind me a little of Dark Phoenix, which I adore.
It's Wonder Woman and very pretty, so I'm going to get it, but I don't like the face D: Her tiara looks like it's too much in proportion to the delicate features, and is closing down on it.

Hmm, I know it's Wonder Woman, but I kinda think the muscle definition on the legs really goes againsty the Bishoujo line's astheics. that' and the previously mentioned bellybutton on her belt...

I myself would like a Nico Minoru too

Ooooh, I'm more of a Marvel person but this is really gorgeous! This is my favorite DC bishoujo so far. I really hope they make a X-23 or Lorna Dane bishoujo figures, but I'm pretty sure they have their eye on Elektra.
