COMMEMORATIVE EDITIONS OF SPECIES & WONDER WOMAN COMING SOON
For those fellow fans who love to collect anything and everything Marg-related, I’m happy to announce that there are a couple of commemorative editions coming out soon — the 2009 animated film Wonder Woman, where Marg provided the voice of Hera, and then there will also be a commemorative edition of Species coming out. Marg played Dr. Laura Baker in that film. Below are details on both special editions that have been revealed thus far.
WONDER WOMAN

Warner Bros. Home Entertainment has announced a Commemorative Edition re-release of the acclaimed 2009 DC Universe Animated Original Movie, Wonder Woman, which is set to hit Digital, Blu-ray and DVD this May. Here’s a preview of the cover art, synopsis, commemorative edition special features, and the trailer.
Celebrate the princess who becomes the World’s Greatest Super Heroine in this Commemorative Edition of the epic story of Wonder Woman’s origin!
On the mystical island of Themyscira, a proud and fierce warrior race of Amazons have raised a princess of untold beauty, grace and strength—Diana. When U.S. fighter pilot Steve Trevor crash-lands on the island, the rebellious and headstrong Diana defies Amazonian law by accompanying Trevor back to civilization. Meanwhile, Ares (the God of War) has escaped his imprisonment at the hands of the Amazonians and has decided to exact his revenge by starting a World War that will last for centuries and wipe out every living being on the planet, starting with the Amazons.
It is up to Diana to save her people and the world—by using her gifts and becoming the ultimate Wonder Woman!
