The Funko SODA Wonder Woman figure (Item #45964) is a 4.25-inch stylized vinyl collectible launched in early 2020 as part of Funko's inaugural Vinyl SODA Wave 1 for DC Comics. Packaged inside an aluminum soda can with a POG-style disc, this limited-edition release depicts Diana of Themyscira in her classic comic book suit, complete with a rare Metallic Silver Chase variant.
La Scena
Wonder Woman's classic comic appearance, captured in Funko's Vinyl SODA figure, is rooted in her Silver and Bronze Age adventures in DC Comics, such as those featured in Wonder Woman #171 ("Terror Trap of the Demon Man-Fish"). In these classic stories, Diana of Themyscira visits Paradise Island only to be captured alongside her sister Amazons in giant nets by the scaly Demon Man-Fish. Demonstrating her signature Amazonian strength, Diana breaks free from her captors, rescues a bevy of trapped mermaids, and subdues the aquatic threat in Mer-World alongside Queen Hippolyta. Back on land in Washington, D.C., Wonder Woman faces idiosyncratic foes such as Mouse Man, who uses swarms of trained mice to pull off high-stakes robberies. Even when momentarily bound by her own Lasso of Truth, Diana breaks free to reclaim justice. The classic comic design portrayed by the SODA vinyl figure represents Diana during this era of heroic storytelling, standing tall with her golden tiara, star-spangled shorts, and Lasso of Truth.
Significato
This classic comic iteration of Wonder Woman holds enduring historical significance in pop culture and comic history. Created by William Moulton Marston and artist H.G. Peter in 1941, Diana was one of comic books' earliest female superheroes, establishing a foundational legacy alongside Superman and Batman as part of DC's Trinity. The classic costume represented in this release reflects decades of comic continuity prior to modern reboots like The New 52 or Absolute Wonder Woman. From a collecting standpoint, the Funko SODA release holds a special milestone place: it was issued in early 2020 as part of Wave 1 of Funko's brand-new SODA line, alongside Batman and Robin. Limited to 10,000 total pieces and currently vaulted, this release helped establish Funko's soda-can packaging format, blind-bagged collectible POG discs, and 1-in-6 Chase variant chase mechanic for collectors.
Design
The standard Funko SODA Wonder Woman figure (Item #45964) stands 4.25 inches tall and offers a stylized vinyl recreation of her traditional comic book attire. The sculpt features her signature red bodice adorned with a yellow/gold eagle chest emblem, paired with blue shorts covered in crisp white stars. Accentuating her classic look are her golden tiara with a red star center, golden waist belt, red boots with white stripes, and silver Bracelets of Submission on her wrists. Her coiled golden Lasso of Truth hangs at her side. For collectors pursuing rare variants, Funko produced a Chase edition distributed at 1-in-6 odds (approximately 1,666 pieces total). The Chase variant reimagines her classic uniform in a striking Metallic Silver paint scheme, swapping her classic colors for a shimmering metallic finish while retaining the exact figure sculpt and collector disc.
