Finally got ultimate Ronda and I must say in person it’s a great figure. I don’t like the toes tho... how much articulation is too much ?? Also got Wolfe from the bay

Nice pickups! Think the stare is the best of the Ronda heads too.

Improvement over the smile headscan but still pretty poor. Rest of the figure is spot on though and that Wolfe is great too

ugh the toe articulation looks horrible, but the double jointed elbows is really how Mattel should have evolved their elite line. I love the pic of Rhonda and Wolfe, his expression looks like a fanboy next to his dream girl.

Ronda looks great. They finally made an action figure of a woman that looks like it has realistic proportions, specifically female human shoulders and arms

Is it me or is it difficult to swap out Ronda’s heads? I split plastic a little around the neck trying to swap out the heads.

Sometimes I worry the plastic mattel uses isn’t cut out for interchangeable parts.

It’s a little stiffer than Marvel Legends, but not terrible. The parts themselves need changes to make them work though. I don’t have Nia or Ronda, but I do have the Milk O Mania Stef, and while it required a little more strength than I was expecting, it never felt like it could break from swapping. The inside of the neck gap is different from a regular figure, and that part feels more pliable to me.

Still a little harder then expected but the long hair Ronda head was a pain. Tried to remove it and I heard a little crack. Looked on the sides and noticed the neck seams split a bit. Had to heat it to put on the angry head back on. I don’t plan on swapping them again lol.

I wonder if Mattel just didn’t retool the mold enough for easier removal. Either way, I’m glad yours ended up only cracking, and not snapping completely.

I want Ronda but I'm kinda concerned she'll stick out like a sore thumb next to other regular Mattels?
