Character Background
Barbara Minerva, an archaeologist who becomes the cursed Cheetah, a recurring nemesis of Wonder Woman. This design is based on Kristen Wiig's portrayal in the 2020 film.
Design Notes
Notable for its use of tan rather than the traditional yellow/orange comic color, aiming for a more cinematic, realistic beast appearance. The toe printing is a standout design choice.
Similar Minifigures
Cheetah (sh457), Wonder Woman (sh623), and CMF Series Cheetah (col361).
Collectibility
Moderate. It is a necessary figure for DC completionists, though its value remains accessible due to the average performance of the tied film.
History
First and only version of the cinematic Barbara Minerva. It marks a shift in DC LEGO design toward movie-accurate muted tones versus classic comic bright palettes.
Interesting Facts
The hair piece used for this figure is frequently used for older characters or elves, but in white, it perfectly captures the messy, feral look of the character's transformation.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside the Golden Armor Wonder Woman (sh623) from the same set to recreate the film's climactic battle.
Modification Potential
Excellent for custom cat-people or feral-themed MOCs. The printed legs are highly versatile for animalistic custom figures.
Overall Assessment
A solid, detailed minifigure with great character accuracy. While not a high-value 'grail,' the printing quality and unique hair piece make it a standout for DC fans.
