#54: DC Comics Multiverse (Wonder Woman) - Wonder Woman
Perhaps because they had so recently released a Wonder Woman figure for Batman v Superman, there wasn't actually a regular in-costume Wonder Woman figure in the movie series of the DC Comics Multiverse line. Sort of. They did release one, but it was a Toys R Us exclusive. The likeness on the BvS version was so terrible that I was glad to get a chance to get an upgrade. Of course, I could have waited for the Justice League version. But this one has a shield and that one doesn't, so I guess that's a bonus. From the neck down, this is mostly the same figure as the BvS version, but most importantly a the head is completely new and actually looks like Gal Gadot rather than her stuntwoman or whatever. This time around, her golden lasso is removable, although it's permanently coiled, so there aren't too many exciting posing options for it. While the main movie series includes all the pieces to put together an Ares figure, this figure includes a shield for him to use. It's larger and spikier than Diana's shield.

#46: DC Comics Multiverse (Wonder Woman) - Diana of Themyscira
I was pretty psyched for the Wonder Woman movie to come out, and the toys hit shelves before the movie, so I decided to pick up this version of Diana in her Themiscyrian outfit (yeah, I'm like a couple months behind with my blog here). It's a much better likeness than the BvS figure, so it's already an improvement. For accessories there is her godkiller sword and the Lasso of Truth, which is a separate piece this time. The build a figure for this series is Ares, which I'm not going to be completing. Interestingly, the Ares is based on concept art rather than his final onscreen appearance, so there's no David Thewlis likeness to be had. I've got my Rey figure on my desk, and the whole "brunette with tied back hair wearing a tan outfit" similarity keeps catching my eye while I type this. Maybe Rey is secretly an Amazon!
