Today I picked up a Mafex Justice League Wonder Woman. It's the 1st Mafex figure I've ever gotten. I'm usually an S.H. Figuarts kinda guy, but their Wonder Woman's face looks just bad to me, like a caveman. I don't think it looks like Gal Gadot at all.
The face on this Mafex figure is decent. Out of the 2 heads, the one with the hair flowing back looks most like Gal Gadot. While the other one only mildly resembles her, at least she still looks like a woman. Out of the 3 WW figures that Mafex has released, this one seems like the best one looks-wise.
As far as articulation goes, this figure is decent. One thing I noted in the many reviews I saw on YouTube was that the joints that attach the arm to the shoulder are a bit thin and could potentially snap if moved too roughly. As you can see, they do seem quite thin / fragile. I own enough action figures to know that sometimes you need to be careful with some when moving joints.
This figure comes with 4 pairs of hands in total (fists, relaxed and 2 holding pairs). It comes with a lasso that you can hang on her belt, another that's can be held in her hand(s), a sword, a shield, a motherbox and alternate head. It also comes with a stand but it seems rather weak, doesn't fully support the weight of the figure without drooping down.
She's about the same height as Figuarts, so she goes well with the rest of my collection. The details and paint apps are really nice, very detailed, especially the patterns on the shield. The hair is also a soft plastic, so it doesn't impede the movement of the head too much.
The points of articulation are the neck, the shoulders, the elbows, the upper torso, the waist, the thighs, the knees and an ankle pivot. I find it decent, mostly comparable to Figuarts. Some points have wider range than others, but that's something that's found in practically all articulated figures.
I'm pretty happy with it. I'd wanted a nicely articulated figure of the Gal Gadot movie version of WW for some time now, and this seems like the best out of them. And like I said, I found the face on Figuarts' to be just awful.
I would recommend it, though I do advise to handle it carefully, especially those arm joints. She looks great and she's fun to pose.
