Kal said...: No, some Japanese company makes this one. Seeing this should be proof positive that her classic look should never change.; October 20, 2010 at 9:36 PM
Tempo said...: How come I can never find a statue of a fat balding middle age man in his grundies? Unrealistic stereo types (thank god); October 20, 2010 at 10:40 PM
Kal said...: Hey, I resemble that remark. It would be a huge seller but all they want to sell me is the fantasy.; October 21, 2010 at 12:57 AM
Sarah said...: Help me out Cal! I want to be Wonder Woman for Halloween but I want to be the most correct version of her possible.

I am a girl geeker in a crowd of male geeks and need to get this costume right or I'll never hear the end of it. I'm already a busty brunette so I've got that part covered.

Her bottoms--which is more correct, what is shown here (bodysuit type thing), little shorts, or a skirt?

Her vambraces (cuffs) are gold with stars correct?

Her boots are as shown here--red with white?

I want to be classic WW!; October 21, 2010 at 7:22 AM
Kal said...: You can't get any better a photo reference than you see in the picture. If you would like to send a picture to get the final approval from me I am okay with that. As a geek girl you are a rare and beautiful thing.; October 21, 2010 at 1:57 PM
Sarah said...: You're very sweet to say so!

Unfortunately my options of ready-made WW costumes online are limited.

And sadly, while I can hand-sew, I don't think I can sew my own up quickly enough for next Sat...

So the question is...Skirt v bodysuit bottoms?; October 22, 2010 at 3:00 PM
Kal said...: Gotta go with the skirt...unless you are going with the new WW look where she wears leggings. I just find her old look to be much sexier. YOu will send me a pic of your finished product won't you?; October 22, 2010 at 11:52 PM

Calvin's Canadian Cave Of Cool Manifesto

I forever stand vigilant to protect this planet from the myriad of forces that are always against us. Be it the octopus, zombies, aliens or the robots my team of human agents, and our feline allies, circle the globe in a never ending struggle for human freedom.

I learn all I can on every subject that interests me. I especially enjoy ancient history because in the past there are valuable lessons to be found. Also, if I ever get my time machine to work properly, it would be good to know a bit about possible destinations and what to expect when I get there.

I greatly appreciate beautiful design. Be it manufactured or found naturally I am fascinated by the process of invention. I am attracted to the unique, the strange, the haunted. I like to share what I find on this blog.

And not let us forget the 'Cephalopod Menace' who, if allowed to, would wrap their tentacles around all that is good and pure in this life and crush it until it remained no more. They are creatures of pure spite. Hate is all they know. Death is all they do. They are our most ruthless and determined enemy.

So we fight. Selena has the celebrity contacts, the cat is ruthless and without pity, Roosevelt's ghost has the experience and I do the wetwork.

Fighting for the future of the planet doesn't have to be a chore, however. We can take the time to appreciate all that is cool in this world even as we cut the octopus into bite sized chunks.

This is the reason there has always been and must forever be, a Cave of Cool. Be sure to wipe your feet before you enter.
