Terrific non-TV Toys: Wonder Woman Barbie by Mattel, 2003

A couple weeks back on our sister series for collectibles, you saw a Poison Ivy Barbie by Mattel based on the character's appearances in "Batman: The Animated Series" and "The New Batman Adventures." Now for Terrific non-TV Toys, we turn to another femme of that Barbie set, another gal of the DC Universe, and arguably the most famous one.

Mattel has done a few different Wonder Woman Barbies over the past couple decades, but this one was part of a set released around 2003-2004. She doesn't have that luscious satin cape that you saw on the Wonder Woman Barbie featured in the T3 episode a few years ago, but she's definitely got better boots ...

Back at a con after a year and a half -- thanks, Monroe Pop Fest!

It was a sunny day, and that fit just right, because it was great to be back at a comic-con again, first time since lockdowns hit at the beginning of the pandemic. It was the Monroe Pop Fest south of Detroit, and it was a cool little show this author had been to a couple years back. I really went there to do a quick interview with my buddy Tom Hutchison of Big Dog Ink (first photo below), for an upcoming BRBTV project yet to be disclosed, and ran into some other friends, as well, like T.J. And took a few photos!!!



















This guy looked so good -- I could have totally bought the idea that Michael Myers stepped off the movie screen and into this friggin' parking lot.

My friend T.J., featured on a couple Terrific TV Toys videos for his "Dukes of Hazzard" collection, brought his Rosco sheriff's car. His friend Dylan, who has employed both T.J. and his car in some of his independent Detroit area movies, was there, as well, showcasing his screen-used TV and movie prop collection, below.

A lot of Scoob can be collected in a year! Just ask Wendy …


Wow … a charm bracelet of Scooby and the gang … T-shirt iron-on transfers … an original painting of “Scooby’s Clues” … Playmobil toy sets … a Scooby Dee push puppet … tons more … and that’s just everything she has added in the past year, added onto everything Scooby-Doo she already had!!! Wendy is a commissioned artist in Canada and a hard-core Scooby collector who appears in the ScoobyAddicts panel discussions you’ve seen linked on this blog. I was delighted to read through her latest blog post on what she’s acquired for her collection in the past year … then I scroll down to the plush “Billie Doo” and the shout-out to BRBTV!!! Mind blown?!!! Thanks so much, Wendy!

Terrific TV Toys: Poison Ivy Barbie by Mattel, 2004

She's pretty and she's perfectly poisonous. She's Poison Ivy, and she got good play on the "Batman: The Animated Series" of the 1990s. It's that incarnation of this femme Batman villain that this 2004 Barbie doll by Mattel plays on. It's this month's featured item on the Terrific TV Toys series, so let's get up-close and personal with this emerald-clad gal ...
