Leaked Wonder Woman 1984 Funko Pop! shows Cheetah’s final form

A leaked Funko Pop! for Wonder Woman 1984 is giving us a look at Cheetah in her final form, one familiar to comic book fans who know the character.

The cat claws are about to come out in Wonder Woman 1984, and no, it has nothing to do with Joe Exotic or Carole Baskin. One of the cat queens of DC Comics, Cheetah, is making her way to the big screen in the movie. And a recently leaked Funko Pop! is showing off a comic book-accurate look that we haven’t seen in the trailer.

In the movie, Kristen Wiig plays Cheetah, known as Barbara Minerva. By day, it looks like she’s the shy type — an archaeologist who will supposedly be museum co-workers and friends with Diana Prince (aka, Wonder Woman). But something will go awry, and the relationship with the two will be put on edge once Diana finds out what’s truly going on with Barbara.

In this new Funko Pop! that was leaked by The Pop Shack, as CBR.com found, Barbara is shown in her full form as Cheetah. Her hair is slicked back and she’s in all cheetah print from head to toe. So, to ease any fans’ worries, yes, it looks like we’ll be seeing that classic Cheetah in the film.

So far, the first round of Pops! released for Wonder Woman 1984 have been cool all on their own. There’s a normal-looking Barbara Minerva, several stunning variations of Wonder Woman, and even Steve Trevor.

Though, if you look closely at the promo image for the Wonder Woman Funko Pops!, you’ll notice this variation of Barbara was teased right from the very beginning. The shadow on the promo is the exact outline of Cheetah on the leaked box art.

The Funko Pops! for Wonder Woman 1984 were set to be released soon, coinciding with the original premiere of the movie. Unfortunately, COVID-19 has pushed the movie’s release date to Aug. 14, 2020. But it looks like that won’t affect when the Funko figures are released.

It’s likely that Warner Bros. and DC were hoping to hold the Cheetah secret off until the next trailer. And of course, after everyone’s seen the film, Funko will likely come out with a second round of Pops! that are completely filled with spoilers from the film.
