It’s fitting that one of the most enduring characters in fiction, who turns out to be queer, has her day in June, which also happens to be Pride Month.
I grew up with George Pérez’s version of Wonder Woman. Although I ended up preferring Rebirth and the soon-to-be-concluded current run. I can’t wait for the upcoming Dawn of DC books that start in September, though.
The original Wonder Dude costume used pieces from Hot Toys’ Wonder Woman BvS figure. The colors were a bit muted, so I unsuccessfully experimented with gold nail polish powder to make the gold pieces look chrome and mirror like. Too much flake and after a while, the gold went dull.
This new costume has pieces from the Wonder Woman 1984 figure (also by Hot Toys). It’s crazy because the belt just slides up (with a little bit of difficulty, but I still didn’t have to cut and splice it the way I did with the original Wonder Dude costume).
I also modified the chest plate. Maybe I’ll cover the straps with leftover pieces from the bodice so they match the boots.
Pride 2023 is the Year of Resistance.
