Amazon Exclusive Wonder Woman Blu-ray Combo Pack (Review)
So you’re all probably “wondering” to yourself like Aaron Neuwirth asked me yesterday. Is Why So Blu’s Brian White ever going to review Wonder Woman on any home media format? You’re kidding right? I may hold the Internet record for most reviews of it. I dare you to call me out on it. Let’s count the ways I have brought September 19th’s Wonder Woman release date to your computer screen. It all started three weeks ago when I covered the 4K UHD Dolby Vision VUDU release of Wonder Woman over here. Next up we were one of the first major sites to review the Warner Bros. 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray product over here. And finally, we had you covered with eye-popping three dimensions in our Blu-ray 3D review of it all here. If that’s not enough Wonder Woman for you, then try this one on for size. We were also among the first to tackle the three new DC Collectibles statues from the film with our picture-by-picture unboxing of the Goddess in her AmazonTraining Suit over here. So like Eminem once said I’m back! I last covered an exclusive piece like this here with the Warner Bros./Amazon Exclusive Harley Quinn Suicide Squad Blu-ray set. Now we have a Wonder Woman one, exclusive DC Collectibles statue and all. Follow me down below as I take you through this exclusive release complete with a picture-by-picture replay of my unboxing.
Don’t let the $129.99 price tag fool you. That’s an absolute bargain for what you’re getting here. I think it goes without saying that you’re getting the Blu-ray Combo Pack which includes the Theatrical Cut of Wonder Woman on Blu-ray disc, a DVD and a Digital HD redemption code. Plus you have over two hours of special features to digest here too. For more information on all that please refer to my 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray review of the film here and the Blu-ray 3D here. However, all that is secondary to the real treasure inside this big box. You’re also getting an exclusive DC Collectibles Wonder Woman statue. It’s such an exclusive that you won’t find this particular statue anywhere else unlike the Harley Quinn one I reviewed earlier this year. If sold separately, I’m sure the statue itself would easily retail for $149 or more.
So you’re probably wondering what’s the catch here? Well that’s the beautiful part. There is none! You’re literally getting a near 12″ tall (not including base) Wonder Woman statue in the Blu-ray Combo Set for nearly $40 less. You’re probably asking yourself how is that possible? I honestly don’t know myself. Because of the exclusive nature of it I guess you could consider it a relic. I believe it to be sculpted by James Marsano (not much info known) this DC Collectibles 12″ tall statue of Wonder Woman is based on the likeness of gorgeous Gal Gadot (it’s not the greatest facial sculpt) from June’s Warner Bros. Wonder Woman film. The quality and weight of it, however, are definitely not on par with the Harley Quinn release. I’m not going to take the time to go into detail about the Blu-ray release itself, but if you’re interested in how things look and sound here, not to mention all the extras, please check out my humungous reviews here and here. Now that we got that all out of the way I don’t see any reason why we can’t get into the good stuff here. Do you? Any objections? Good! I don’t hear any. Follow me down below as I take you through every step of the way while I unbox this Amazon Exclusive Wonder Woman Blu-ray Combo set and share with you some of Gal’s, I mean this Wonder Woman’s best sculpted attributes. Here we go!

The first thing you notice is the shipping box you’ll likely receive this Blu-ray/statue set in. It’s no doubt property of Warner Bros. Entertainment, but notice the odd sticker on it for displaying on September 19, 2017. Is it me or does it seems out of place for something not found in retail stores, but on the Internet?
*
Below are the sides of the Amazon Exclusive Wonder Woman Blu-ray Combo Pack cardboard box that holds our DC Collectibles treasure inside.
*
The back of the box is shown below as the info graphic up above is removable from it and just held on by the small circle of tape on the top of the box. You have to take it off anyway to open this box.
*
And here’s the top of the box. I don’t know about you, but I can’t wait! Let’s crack this baby open already!
*
The first thing you’ll find at the very top of the box upon opening is the sealed Wonder Woman Blu-ray Combo Set of the film without a slip cover. I’ll keep this copy sealed in my collection along with the Best Buy 4K Ultra HD Steelbook set too. Ha ha. I know I am sick!
*
As you can see everything is housed securely in a styrofoam enclosure. The word TOP in the styrofoam should display upwards before carefully cutting the tape around the edges.
*
After carefully cutting around the tape and opening the styrofoam sides below is how you’ll find things wrapped up. Now let’s start unwrapping things.
*
It should be noted that the underside of the elongated base has rubber feet on it for stability and traction.
*
Boom! And here we are! It’s quite simple to snap Wonder Woman’s left foot into the base. That’s all there is to it. Now let’s take a closer look at all her attributes below. Her face is not a dead on likeness of Gal’s. For some reason I have yet to really seen anybody get it right. I hope Hot Toys or Sideshow can nail it in future releases.
*
Let’s take a look behind the scenes here too.
*
Last but not least let’s take a closer look at the Godkiller and her trusty shield. These are both pretty detailed.
*
There you have it folks. Is she “wonderful” or what?
*
All in all I’m pretty happy with this Amazon Exclusive DC Collectibles Wonder Woman statue/Blu-ray Combo Set. From the price tag it can be had at (currently sitting at $129.99 at the time of this writing on Amazon) to the semi-Gal Gadot likeness and sculpt of the figure you really can’t ask for anything more. Can you? I had a fun time reviewing this and I hope you enjoyed this collectible review here on the site. If you’re interested in this limited edition piece (I assume they have a limited number made of this) before it sells out, hit up the link down below and bring this collector piece/Blu-ray set home today. Thanks for looking!
