DC Multiverse Page Punchers Cheetah review (2025)

Cheetah is easily Wonder Woman’s main nemesis despite on paper not seeming like a favorable matchup for the Amazon. If Wonder Woman has a TV show, movie or prominent comic arc, it’s a safe bet Cheetah will show up eventually.

Thankfully, McFarlane Toys realized she was a can’t skip character in its DC Multiverse line. Not just for Wonder Woman’s sake, but so the Legion of Doom can add another member to their ranks. we got her via the Page Punchers line for maximum comic book reference.

Let’s see if Cheetah whips the competition or if this is needs to be placed in the Wonder Woman 1984 display bin.

Packaging: The Page Punchers line has a simple setup with the figure posed against a black backdrop with the back showing the comic book reference. In this case it’s Crisis on Infinite Earths #8 where the villains go on the attack and she’s positioned in the front row of villains.

For what it’s worth, Cheetah has the Red Platinum embossed logo as well. Make sure to have some strong scissors on hand to crack through the tough clamshell packaging.

Likeness: Throughout the run with the line, McFarlane Toys didn’t create a blank body mold for female figures. This led to some weird reuse of the close enough female mold of Knightfall Catwoman. That means Cheetah has the longer gloves, thigh high boot tops and some of the sculpted creases from Catwoman’s leather outfit.

Since Cheetah wears a bodysuit it’s not so terrible. It seems like a new torso was used to avoid the mold line down the chest/waist.

Her clawed hands and feet turned out solid. Her default expression is great conveying Cheetah in the midst of planning a new scheme.

Scale: Page Punchers Cheetah is not Amazon sized like Wonder WomanPower Girl or Hawkgirl. She looks far shorter and smaller than them, but that is far more a case of that Amazon mold being way too tall.

Cheetah is slighter, but fits in fine with her LOD allies Lex Luthor, Riddler, Captain Cold, etc.

Paint: McFarlane Toys are usually reliable when it comes to paint jobs. They might not always be flawless, but if only one figure was on the pegs you wouldn’t need to leave it thanks to shoddy paint work.

Cheetah’s spots are arranged smartly throughout her costume with varying sizes.

Articulation: Cheetah’s main attack is lunging slashes. She can accomplish that pretty well with the usual Multiverse model of 22 points of articulation.

With a little effort, she can strike dramatic kicks as well. The one articulation point that’s missing is for her tail to get it out of the way when trying to achieve certain poses.

Accessories: Page Punchers Cheetah doesn’t get many extras, but the McFarlane Toys crew tried to maximize the available options.

She has a swappable set of grabbing hands though they lack the paint for the claws.

Her main accessory is swappable face plates. One is an angry, teeth-gritted expression. The other is a calmer, more relaxed expression with more of a sly smile.

Finally, she comes with the signature black circle stand and the Crisis #8 comic.

Worth it?  Page Punchers prices have shot up. Cheetah was $27.99, which is not the same decent value as it was previously compared to other figure lines. The meager accessories don’t help add value either.

Rating: 9.5 out of 10

Cheetah is a fine addition to the Multiverse line. Despite showing the scale issues again with Wonder Woman, her main rival gets a very solid figure.

Where to get it?  I found Cheetah at Target for a while, but after that Page Punchers lineup has left stores, she’s a lot harder to find. You can still get her from Amazon.
