Well, I used to work with a girl who didn't know what Kryptonite was (prime demographic age for Smallville) and after spending 30 minutes trying to explain it to her I finally figured out that I was going to have to explain Superman, too, so I gave up...

Hah.

My mother used to substitute teach. She had a degree in Chemistry which led to a stint filling in for a chem teacher out for maternity leave. she used to get so ticked at the kids who thought Krytonite was an actual element on the atomic chart. fyi "Krypton" is an element, one of the noble gases, atomic number 36. Kryptonite is only fictional.

Didn't Dan post a recent article showing that Kryptonite has now been discovered based on its purported formula in Superman Returns? Its actually chalky white and I don't think it really affects Kryptonians as I feel just fine around it.

Well the 4h said they sculpted a WW for DCU so we will see her soon.

No, they didn't. They said she's coming, but they didn't say that she'd been sculpted yet. They just finished the third wave, and they said she's not in the third wave.

Actually the did say she was sculpted, and that she was not the female in wave 3 but that we would see one in wave 3. I forgot you were there when the conversation took place.

I believe the quote from the conventions was that Diana was "coming." If they had just finished sculpting wave three - which Wonder Woman isn't in - how had they already sculpted her?

And no, I wasn't there for the conversation, but I've read all the posts about DCUC.

I remember a story going around that the 4H had sculpted three non- Batman/Superman related characters to show DC/WB in an attempt to get the full license well over a year ago. If that story is true I would think that Wonder Woman, a Green Lantern and The Flash would have been the three chosen, possibly Aquaman in place of GL or Flash, but WW would definitely be one of them. If that was the case that could be how Wonder Woman would be "finished" early at the Horsemen end of things. I know that we will never get a confirmation on what characters they are/were, but maybe we can get confirmation that the story is true.

Think I'll go post the question to Cornboy over at Fwoosh...

Cornboy has said that that isn't true, if memory serves.

And I think the story was that there were sketches, not actual sculpts.

Just to throw a little gasoline on the fire, I'll mention that all three of my grand daughters have several of the Spidey & Friends figures, including Spidergirl.

Admittedly, they were influenced by their brothers and their grandfather, but the point is that as more of the action figure sales are actually driven by collectors, it would make sense that a good number of the old fart collectors like me have grand daughters and that many of you young whippersnapper collectors have daughters.

So saying, unless Mattel is run my a bunch of flaming buttholes, I think there is a good possibility that we will see WW in the Super Friends line. After all, look how quickly the JLU female figures fly off the shelf...
