Name: Kyall
Country:
Australia
About me: I have been a fan of Wonder Woman as far back as I can remember (see pic of me and my brother when I was five years old with the Wonder Woman slide puzzle). I remember getting angry at my parents when I was five because I missed the beginning of the television show. I had a lot of collectables back then, but they mysteriously disappeared when we moved house. I started collecting seriously around ten years ago and love talking to other Wonder Woman collectors.
Favourite items: I really love the items produced during the 1960s / 1970s. Some of my favorite items are the Ideal Wonder Woman puppet, the die cut Wonder Woman record and the Wonder Woman board game from the 1960s. When I eventually get one I think my ultimate favorite item will be the Wonder Woman telephone from the 1970s - it is soooo cool.

Name: Kristin
Country:
USA
About me: I have been collecting Wonder Woman since I was a child. I still have all my original coloring books and my first Super Power action figure. I started collecting the comic books at age 8 and haven’t stopped. I became a seriously invested Wonder Woman collector at around 16 and in 1998 joined eBay and the collection has now grown to over 1050 items (not including the comic books). My philosophy is if Wonder Woman is on it, I must own it! I just finished renovations on my home and my husband has built me my very own Wonder Woman room, complete with red and yellow walls and electric blue carpet. It is the first time where I have a place to display all my collectables. I love to talk about Wonder Woman with other collectors and share what collectables are out there or where to get them-it’s a great networking family-so email me.
Favourite items: Ohhhhhhhhhhh there are so many favorites! Obviously the Wonder Woman telephone is a favorite as is my Sealed Aurora Model Kit and I really enjoy all the Nasta Super Power items from the 1980’s. Another favorite that is dear to my heart is my Wonder Woman raincoat! When I was 6 my father took me to a clothing store and there was this Wonder Woman raincoat in a size 14X-far to large for a 6 year old. I begged and pleaded with my father to buy it for me-but he wouldn’t’ budge, he though that I would outgrow my love of Wonder Woman buy the time I could fit into it…well that love never stopped-and I would bring up that raincoat story to my father every time we went to a comic book store or convention. Well luckily for him I found my raincoat on eBay about 11 years ago-in perfect shape-and it is the first piece you see when you walk into my Wonder Woman room.

Name: Adik
Country:
Indonesia
About me: I have been collecting Wonder Woman memorabilia for about 4 years. Because there are not many Wonder Woman items available in Indonesia I usually buy all of my items off ebay. It's such an undescribable and wonderful feeling once I find Wonder Woman items to add to my collection.
Favourite items: The favorite items in my collection would be the Tonner dolls that I own. The detail on them is amazing.

Name: Susan
Country:
USA
About me: I started collecting when I was a little girl in the 70's. For me, Wonder Woman was a role model and helped me get through a lot of things when I was a little girl, and still helps me today. I own all of the Wonder Woman comics as well as some of the Sensation issues.
Favourite items: The items produced before 1990 are my favorites - especially the items from the 70s and 80s. Most of the items in my collection were purchased when I was a young girl. I kept a lot of the items in their original packaging because I loved the pictures of Wonder Woman on them.

Name: Cindy
Country:
USA
About me: My Name is Cindy and I'm a big wonder Woman Fan and have a medium sized collection of Wonder Woman memorabilia.
Favourite items: My favorite piece is the Tonner Wonder Woman doll in the clear case. I love the fact that the this doll is rare and it is simply just breathtaking. You could also change the clothes on the doll to become the Amazon Pricess Diana (the clothes I don't have because those clothes are hard to find and if you do, they are very expensive). I think the thing that I like the most about this doll is the detail in the face and the hair and it truly is a beauty of a doll.

Name: Na-Tisha
Country:
USA
About me: I have been a huge Wonder Woman fan ever since I was a little girl. I only seriously started collecting about 5 years ago. I am not sure exactly how many pieces I have in my collection, but I do know that I diffidently need more space. I try to add to my ever growing collection on a daily basis.
Favourite items: Everything that I have is very near to my heart, but I would say that my most cherished piece is the personalized hand drawn picture of Wonder Woman by Phil Jimenez. I was fortunate enough to fly to Portland Oregon from Las Vegas to attend Excalibur Comics Wonder Woman Day II. That experience was well worth the trip!

Name: Brad
Country:

About me: I have been a huge fan all of my life! I just love her costume and the red, white and blue and those silver bracelets! I have something in practically every room of my apartment from the white walls of my living room to the red walls of my dining room to the blue walls of my kitchen, I even made my bathroom over to look like Paradise Island!
Favourite items: My picture of me and Lynda Carter and my personalized Lynda Carter autograph!

I have well over 2000 items and my collection has been on TV - Personal FX, the collectibles show, and Take 5. I am also credited in the back of DC Comics 60th anniversary book for Wonder Woman and several other magazines and TV Toys and collectibles book.
Favourite items: Some of my favorite items are the 1978 telephone, California originals cookie jar, Ideal Super Queen doll, A Japanese photo guide book for the Wonder Woman TV show. Other items not quite favorites but rare are a 70's prototype dog collar and leash (3 known to exist), a few of the ultra rare Mego Wonder Woman doll outfits carded, 60's bubble gum etc... I have all of the Lynda Carter 70's posters including the very rare super Lynda poster but excluding the door length poster. I am always willing to participate in any and all Wonder Woman related projects and happy to share.

Name: Ryan
Country:
USA
About me: Lots of people have asked about my Wonder Woman "thing'...I think it's summed up best by this story... When I was in college, my roommate came home with me for Thanksgiving. He asked my Mom "So when did Ryan's thing with Wonder Woman start?" My Mom thought about it for a minute then said "you know, it just seems like as long as Ryan has been around, so has Wonder Woman"....and I guess that all she wrote! I have no explanation, but she has been my hero and a constant for me my whole life!.
Favourite items: Most of these are customs that I've done. My favorite is probably my Wonderman Costume...or figure...or maybe my custom Wonder Girl ala JTorres...or my Mego painted Lynda Carter Wonder Woman figures...GEEZ!!!! Must I choose????

Name: Antony
Country:
USA
About me: I have been a Wonder Woman fan and collector for my entire life. Like many, my first exposure to the character was through television in the mid-1970s with Lynda Carter's iconic portrayal and in the Super Friends cartoon series. Being an artist, my first attraction to the character was visual. I was instantly amazed by the costume inspired by the American Flag.
Favourite items: I made a conscious decision to focus mainly on sculptural pieces that display beautifully like statues, figurines, dolls and action figures. Here and there, I've succumbed to my completist nature and eagerly purchased other licensed items like housewares and printed materials. But my focus has, and always will be, on sculptural representations of Wonder Woman.

Name: Robey
Country:
USA
About me: I have collected Wonder Woman for about 15 years now. I will have updated pics soon, these pics are 4 months old.
Favourite items: It's so hard to say what my favorite Wonder Woman collectable is. I guess it is my Lynda Carter Statue from DC Direct.

Name: Steven
Country:
USA
About me: I have been a Wonder Woman fan for 23 years she was first introducted on ABC in the New Original Wonder Woman and the Super Friends show. Space is definitely an issue for me because I am not sure how many pieces I have in my collection. Every time I add something to it, it either has to be put away or hidden behind one of my pieces on top of my computer cabinet.
Favourite items: Every item I own I cherish dearly. However some of my most-favorite things are my ABC Wonder Woman bracelets which I purchased back in 2001 from a Sports Collectible Shop down in California after I lost a bid for a beat up pair on Ebay. Other items I favor are my NRFB Mego Wonder Woman dolls which are hidden behind my other things, my Lynda Carter Statue, Tonner Wonder Woman Doll and the custom ABC golden belt and tiara - which I purchased from a fantastic costume designer on ebay - as well as the custom CBS bracelets.

Name: Walter
Country:
USA
About me: I have been a Wonder Woman Fan all of my 30yrs. Lynda Carter was my first girl crush and I have loved her ever since. I made it my mission to make a Wonder Woman room but it ended up being a WW and Batman room. I recently met Lynda Carter which was an unbelieveable experience.
Favourite items: I woud have to say my fav piece in my collection would be my lifesize mannequin, she is so awsome and i would like to thank Andy and Don for all there help to make my dream come true.
