Entertainment Earth Exclusive! She's no ordinary secretary! From 2017's Wonder Woman film, actress Gal Gadot picks up the mantle of Amazonian Princess. This exclusive Wonder Woman Movie Diana Prince Pop! Vinyl Figure features Diana Prince wearing her civilian disguise. She comes armed with a removable shield, just in case the day needs saving! Measuring about 3 3/4-inches tall, the Wonder Woman Movie Diana Prince Pop! Vinyl Figure comes packaged in a window display box. Don't miss it!

This is a new, full-body mold/sculpt, completely distinguishable as different from any of the other Wonder Woman Pop! Vinyls being released at this time. She is wearing the gray coat and dark hat of Diana Prince as seen at about minute 1:18 of this trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1j7qWUQjog . In the scene, she stops a bullet with her vambraces. Similarly, in this Pop! Vinyl, Wonder Woman’s silver and gold vambraces can been seen at her wrists, extending beyond her coat sleeves, a nice subtle detail indicating her true identity. While there have been many Wonder Woman Pop! Vinyls, this is the ONLY Diana Prince Pop! Vinyl that has ever been made. And it has a cool, rare feature for Pop! Vinyls—her shield is removable! Starting at about minute 2:08 of this trailer, you can see her in this outfit with her shield: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECedqf5onZE .

You can pre-order this awesome POP! Vinyl Figure HERE for $12.99. These should arrive in time when the movie is released in June!
