Wonder Woman was released as part of the 1974 Supergals assortment. Like all the Supergals, the initial release was comprised of an entirely silk screened outfit in an effort to rush the figures to stores for Christmas. The Mego Supergals wave was released in their own store counter display box, very few survived.<\/p>\n<p>Tooling was provided later for Wonder Woman&#8217;s red boots, her sole accessory. Mego also created a figure of Wonder Woman&#8217;s little sister Wondergirl for the <a title=\"Teen Titans\" href=\"https:\/\/www.megomuseum.com\/galleries\/teen-titans\/\">Teen Titans<\/a>\u00a0line in 1977.<br \/>\n<!-- variations SECTION STARTS HERE --><br \/>\n<br clear=\"all\" \/><br \/>\n<!--ANCHOR TAG --><\/p>\n<div class=\"subpad\"><a id=\"variations\" name=\"variations\"><\/a><\/div>\n<div id=\"subheadbox\">\n<div class=\"subhead\">Variations<\/div>\n<div class=\"topbox\"><a href=\"#top\">Return to Top<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><!-- SECTION ENDS HERE --><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"Loose Mego Wonder Woman variants\" src=\"http:\/\/www.megomuseum.com\/wgsh\/images\/ww3.jpg\" alt=\"\" align=\"bottom\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.megomuseum.com\/wgsh\/images\/ww4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"244\" height=\"207\" align=\"bottom\" \/><\/p>\n<p>A side by side comparison of the different types of Wonder Woman outfits.(courtesy of Tom)<\/p>\n<p><!-- Window Box SECTION STARTS HERE --><br \/>\n<br clear=\"all\" \/><br \/>\n<!--ANCHOR TAG --><\/p>\n<div class=\"subpad\"><a id=\"box\" name=\"box\"><\/a><\/div>\n<div id=\"subheadbox\">\n<div class=\"subhead\">Window Boxes<\/div>\n<div class=\"topbox\"><a href=\"#top\">Return to Top<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><br clear=\"all\" \/><br \/>\n<!-- SECTION ENDS HERE --><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"Wonder Woman in a window box\" src=\"http:\/\/www.megomuseum.com\/wgsh\/images\/ww1.jpg\" alt=\"\" align=\"left\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Wonder Woman in her Window box is the most economical way to find a packaged figure.

Foreign markets such as France and Australia received Wonder Woman in their assortments most likely because they didn&#8217;t know Isis was. The above carded Wonder Woman is the only known example in the world.

Note it&#8217;s use of the straight arm \u00a0and the subtle differences in the outfit and head.
