@new-batman Thank you for sharing! I've been wondering what they were going to do. The images are really small even on my PC, but off the bat the Guy platinum looks to be the most interesting (as expected). I plan on getting all 3 regular figures this time but it looks like I can pass on all of the platinum variants. PG appears to just have her jacket, CC appears to have a blue face as an homage to what I believe is an animated version and Guy seems to be in the New Earth costume. Anyone can feel to correct me if I'm wrong on any of those as they were just my guesses based on the very small pictures provide by @new-batman. Thanks!
Planning on preordering all three and now I'm hoping I do not get a platinum for Supergirl or Snart. I wouldn't mind the Guy chase but would still prefer the basic one.
If only all of McFarlane’s releases were as good as these 3. Other than Power Girl’s face, which looks like she’ll definitely need to speak with your manager, I have no qualms at all with these figures.
They have new sculpt where needed, are accurate, and the iconic versions are the main release.
Still….I they are the best figures I’ll pass on. As nice as they are, they don’t really fit in any of my displays and I’m not going to hold out hope for an accurate/complete Flash Rogues Gallery or JSA. If I hadn’t sold all of my other GL figures, Guy would have been a nice addition.
Will grab Begins Batman when he’s available.
I’ll need to see it in full, but I’m ecstatic over PG in her jacket look.
Anyone seen Page Punchers Shazam at Gamestop or Target yet? Only seen store finds for the Platinum (which Gamestop sent me). Something strange going on with the distribution. Even @jayjonah's case came with double plats. 🤔 🤨
The Reeve Superman I pre-ordered via Amazon Australia turned out to be the PE version! Problem being, already purchased one via McFarlane so went into a mad scramble to find a regular version. Found a website here with 1 left in stock, called up the store to make sure it wasn't the PE version (thankfully, they said they list them separately) but it actually cost me MORE than buying the PE version (AU$80 posted from the US to Australia for that one, AU$85 for the regular version, posted WITHIN Australia). So kinda peeved.
But... someone local wanted to buy the PE version from me so we came to an arrangement. He actually also got the PE version from Amazon Aus (wondering how many they got?) but it got damaged and he wanted a MIB version. So in the end, all sorted.
But man, McFarlane and their PE... making life difficult just to get the NORMAL version! I've actually had terrible luck with Amazon in terms of what I get with these chases... this is the first one I've ordered that had a PE version and ended up with the chase I didn't want; and with some WWE Elite figures, 3 times I've ordered figures that showed a particular version and received the variant. Almost like every time I've gotten the opposite of what I've wanted. Also ordered a Green Lantern for the Plastic Man parts and ended up with a Superman instead (already had those parts).
In the end, I've been able to sort out other means for what I've been chasing, but the extra work JUST TO GET WHAT I ACTUALLY ORDERED is just magnified by these ridiculous "chases".

I make rounds every few days to all of Best Buy, Gamestop, Target and Walmart and I've yet to see either version of this figure anywhere. In fairness there are other figures that others have found elsewhere in the country that I've never seen at any of my local stores.
I've got one ordered from Amazon that was supposed to arrive today that they've pushed back to Monday (along with the Batman Beyond Batmobile). I'm hoping to eventually end up with both versions, but I'm actually hoping that the one I get with Amazon will be the Captain Thunder version because if I only get 1, that's the one that I want most.
For those curious, Captain Cold's Platinum is Superfriends Cold. That's another Legion of Doom member, after Riddler. Between those and the Platinum Wonder Woman, it's a motif they're slowly filling out.
The only thing about Power Girls' Platinum version when she put on the jacket she lost the swimsuit look.
The replica 1:1 scale 89 Batman Cowl should arrive tomorrow from Amazon. I paid the MSRP of $99.99 and not the over inflated price of $159.99 that EE and BBTS were charging.
Yesterday I saw something at Target that baffled me. One Platinum Batman Beyond figure hanging there among the Booster Golds and the Ambush Bugs. This was the DC Collectibles reissue that he recently did in the red box. I could have sworn that was a Walmart exclusive. I'm pretty sure there was a bluish translucent variant that was a Target exclusive but this one was definitely all black. He rang up on the price checker too. I left him for someone else because I already got mine, but it was surprising to see.
@jayjonah I’d LOVE to buy one of those black jacket Red Hood figures if possible…
I've bought two of the Platinum Simon Baz figures (still don't have and haven't seen the normal version yet) and both have really bad green paint from the costume all over the lower right arm. Have I just had bad luck or have others ran into this as well?
Still haven't seen any of Geo-Force, Orion or Wildcat at Target. I have yet to see any Lightning Lads at Walmart (just looking for a Plat version). My Gamestop is where I'm tending to find the newest figures but they seem to strangely only get one in at a time rather than as a case. Then a few days later they'll get one more single figure. It's very strange. That's where I found Grid, Swamp Thing of Rann and one of the platinum Simons.
the stuff on the arm is supposed to be the ring corrupting him
What time is PG and the others supposed to go up for preorder today?
