Makaro. The team has been in flux all season, with Digglebeing out for certain periods of time, Artemis betraying the team,and the loss of Ragman. Curtis and Wild Dog have managed to stickaround, though, and the team seems poised to finally get a newBlack Canary full time. It would be unfortunate for Olliver'sragtag group to dissolve so quickly, but that definitely might bethe case.

While the average Funko comic character is brightly colored, thisversion of Wonder Woman is tinted sepia; with the Pop! and RockCandy figures, you feel as if you’re looking at her through a photofilter.

Also notable is Diana’s weapons of choice:Although her famed Lasso of Truth is slung on her belt, she wieldsa sword and shield, emphasizing her role as a warrior. In additionto the Amazon Princess, there will also be Pop! figures of SteveTrevor and Queen Hippolyta.
