DC Comics has announced the release of a new Wonder Girl statue for the Ame-Comi Heroine line of anime-inspired figurines. Standing roughly 8.25 inches tall, and designed by Sanford Green and sculpted by Jonathan Matthews, this statue depicts the lovely statuesque Cassie (Cassandra) Sandsmark outfitted in a stylish, crime-fighting uniform.
Wonder Girl is seen posing in a red and yellow bra top and blue and yellow bikini bottoms with matching chaps. The western-themed outfit also carries Wonder Woman’s star motif and Cassie holds a magic lasso in her hand. A youthful teenage spin-off of Wonder Woman, Wonder Girl has had three incarnations, including Wonder Woman herself.
