\S/uperman and ₩onder Woman have joined my small roster of McFarlane DC Multiverse figures and now the Balance is broken between Heroes and Bat-Family members. The Superman is the one I criticized back when the line started due to the engineering... and it's the only Red and Blue Superman I can get... I don't want Cavill in Black. Wonder Woman is the Gal Gadot version because McFarlane to this day hasn't released a Classic Wonder Woman.
Superman: Last son of Krypton, raised in Kansas.
Wonder Woman: Demigoddess raised by Amazons in Themyscira... you Know I have to do this... Zaddy Snyder demands it...
Every time she shows up... but that joke got lame right after the first time... Zacky Poo didn't get the memo.
Articulation
Kal-El has the standard DCMV articulation except the elbows. Here those are songle jointed, which limits the articulation. Othwr than that, the Cape is the only issue for balancing him.
4.0

| Batman: Why am I here? Superman: Because we're the Just Us League WW: And you're the only one that sells, so we latch onto you. Batman: Like freeloaders or Robins... Superman: Exactly! |
Diana is a bit more articulated BUT her main issue are her feet. Her platform boots are a pain in the ass to stabilize.
4.5
Paint and sculpt
Superman is based on one of his many comic book looks. This one is pretty close to what an Iconic Superman should look like. Meanwhile Wonder Woman is based on the Wonder Woman 1984 movie version. She barely looks like Gal Gadot, but at the same time she's one of McFarlane better facial likenesses. The only weird looking body parts are her legs and his arms. Her thighs look like overboiled Hotdogs. Meanwhike Superman's arms do a bad job od hiding his wrist joints.other than that, they're pretty good

| WW: Kal-El no! |
Superman 4.0
Wonder Woman 4.0
Accessories
Superman has interchangeable hands. 1 gripping hand and 1 fist. These should have been four extra hands: 2 fists, 2 gripping hands.
He also has a trading card and a Flying stand.
Wonder Woman has a trading card, a generic black stand, and 2 lassos of Hestia. Sadly, no extra hands sword, or shield.

These have no BAF, yet they feel lacking...
Superman 4.0
Wonder Woman 3.5

| Batman: Do you Bleed? Superman: what? WW: Every month. Sometimes it has an effect on my mood and I can get very cranky... in months with heavy flow I can make a bloody waterfall... |
Overall
I'm feeling torn on these. They are decent figures but there are a few hiccups here and there. The serious lack of scale between the characters kind of sucks. Wonder Woman seems taller than Superman and Batman. I get Superman having a few issues, since it was one of McFarlane's earlier figures. But at the same time, Todd has been 20+ years in the business and has made articulated figures before.
Superman gets a 4.0 as his final score while
Wonder Woman gets a 4.0 as her final score.
