LEGO Wonder Woman Life-Size Statue Revealed for SDCC 2016

July 14, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 2 Comments

LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes SDCC 2016 Wonder Woman

The Wall Street Journal has revealed another LEGO brick-built statue that will be displayed at San Diego Comic Con 2016 with a life-size version of Wonder Woman. The statue stands over 6’1″ and it contains 22,736 pieces and weighs 138 pounds. It took 99 hours to design and 218 hours to build it from bottom to top. It will be displayed on the outer rim of the LEGO booth (2829) where attendees are able to take pictures of it. It’s not that surprising that this character was chosen to become a statue considering that it is Wonder Woman’s 75th anniversary and DC will be celebrating it throughout the convention.

The statue will be one of many that will be displayed at the LEGO booth at SDCC which also includes LEGO Ninjago Jay. Check out the video below of a time-lapse build of the Wonder Woman statue.
