Adrianne Palicki Is NBC's Wonder Woman

Yeah, this is probably old news to most of you by now but Adrianne Palicki has been cast in the lead role of NBC's Wonder Woman. She played Tyra Collette on Friday Night Lights, which I admit that I have never watched an episode of. The twenty-seven year old actress was also the pseudo Kara on Smallville and as Sam's doomed girlfriend, Jessica Moore, on the pilot episode of Supernatural. She was cast as Siren on the pilot episode of Aquaman that never aired. Her movie roles include Legion and the upcoming Red Dawn remake. I think that Adrianne Palicki will make a fine Wonder Woman for she stands at 5'11" (Lynda Carter is 5'9") and is super sexy.

Along with 2-1B, it helped Luke Skywalker recover from his Wampa encounter on Hoth. I actually picked it up a few years ago at a local thrift store in a bag with other action figures that I wanted. I like the fact that his "head" extends up.

Flashpoint Action Figures Coming This Summer

DC Universe posted the first look at DC Direct Flashpoint action figures last Friday but they are so cool that I thought I would post them here. I am really digging the the alternate versions of Flash, Batman, Wonder Woman and Cyborg.

Women Wednesday: Silena Evion As Killer Frost

With the wicked winter weather that we have been having lately, it seems only appropriate to show pictures of Silena Evion dressed as Killer Frost from this year's Ikkicon:
