Above:
Wonder Woman Comic Heroine Super Queen doll.
The Ideal stand the doll
used here might have been a store display or
come with an Ideal doll. I've been told it came with some Ideal dolls
but have not found any dolls that come with this type of stand. The
Tammy dolls I see with stands come with a little white plastic stand,
not a well made stand like the one show here. It fits perfectly with
for the
Comic Heroine Super Queens doll's waist and height.
The Comic Heroine outfits are all tagged, "Comic Heroines 1967 by Ideal", except the alter ego fashions that were
also Tammy doll fashions; they are sometimes tagged "Tammy by Ideal."
In an early
advertisement Wonder Woman is pictured with a pitch fork like
Queen
Mera's which is odd as Wonder Woman never had the fork in the comics -
and she never had the shield in the 60's either but Ideal thought she
needed it. Advertisement photograph is courtesy of Ray Flores. |

Right:
An original Ideal Comic
Heroine Wonder Woman doll wears an original
Ideal Nurse outfit and high heeled shoes. This outfit was also sold as
a Tammy doll outfit as the nurse's aide outfit for Tammy and her
friends
but with a striped apron over it and a hat name tag and clipboard all
similar to the WW outfit but with Diana Prince's name on the tag and
the same clipboard and the same hat but minus the red strips.
Very
hard to find the Wonder Woman versions of
this outfit. This outfit is believed to have
come with the Montgomery Wards exclusive Wonder Woman doll, and appears
to be the same outfit that is shown on the front of the box.
The hat shown is from a generic doll, the glasses are original Ideal glasses and
may be the correct glasses for the Diana Prince alter ego outfit. Some say the dolls didn't come with alter
ego outfits and some say they do, the debate continues. I think they
did and is original to the WW SQ doll. The doll's box picture
is
specific and many have been found dressed in the nurse outfit.
