Well, that Jade didn't last too long there as she's not available now. I guess I'll have to hunt for her.
I was able to pre-order Hank Henshaw Cyborg Superman but missed Jade just like I missed Bizarro a couple of weeks ago. Sigh.
Looks like CMDStore is pausing shipments to the US because of the Trump tariffs. Huge bummer. I was ordering a decent amount of McFarlane DC Multiverse figures from there, particularly the store exclusives and platinum figures when they've been available since I haven't been to get them from the stores themselves.

That blows, at least I was able to get a Platinum Two-Face before it sold out from them. It'd be nice if McFarlane was putting the notifications up for what's going up for sale AHEAD OF TIME like they previously did. No notification that Cyborg Superman would be buried in Entertainment Earth cases along with Platinum movie Riddler. And then their IG notification was literally a couple hours early in the morning before Gamestop sold out. So very tedious to buy these things when it doesn't need to be.
Ok, I’m sure it’s been explained, but what does Jade being a Red Platinum mean? Is her availability limited somehow?

Yeah, I'm actually starting to look forward to McFarlane losing the license. I assume Mattel won't make it so difficult to get figures. Between the platinums and in-store-only exclusives, it's like 40% of the line it feels like -- and it's the most desirable versions of characters, too!
With price increases and CMDStore being a no-go, for me that means I have to cut back because I can't pay eBay prices for everything. Once I start to cut back a little on a line, I typically start to really lean out of it pretty significantly and sell off a bunch besides like a few key teams/eras.
Got my shipping notice from MTS for the Y1 Bats/Gordon bundle.

Red Platinum is supposed to mean "available in store only" - so no online retailers get it. It's to incentivize foot traffic - but more importantly for Todd to incentivize retailers to buy cases with those figures.
I have heard some rumbling on Twitter that Jade might be a GameStop exclusive? That would seem to be dumb to me - but I guess GameStop is one of the retailers that has been consistent in carrying this line, so maybe this is a reward for them. It's a bummer because their online sale of the figure sold out quickly - so if it is only gettable at GameStop, I'm going to have to check those stores a little more frequently.
@panthercult Jade has been found at Walmart in case pack with Bizarro, Year One Bats, Gordon. She should also be available at Target near end of May.
@bat1975 Ordered mine through Walmart for the free shipping with a release date of May 9th.
Ooh, nice. A GameStop exclusive seemed very odd indeed, so I'm glad to hear that was just bad info. Out of curiosity how did you find her on the WalMart site? I just looked and can't find her there at all.
@panthercult She's not listed on the Walmart site. It's part of a case pack. Problem is determining or lucking out on which Walmart receives it. Their internal stock inventory is not to be trusted.
So weird that the case packout would include Jade and not the platinum B&W for Gordon, wonder where/when that one's coming (seen a bunch on ebay already, so I know it's out there).
@bat1975 That's why she's a Red Platinum. They are randomly inserted into case packs. You're right, it should have been the Gordon plat.
The Red Platinums are confusing. Some figures I have come upon in a store (right place, right time) and then there is the Batman Begins Scarecrow figure which I have seen at least a dozen in my area between Gamestop & Target. One Target had 4 Scarecrow figures on the pegs. In my area, East of Pittsburgh, some of the figures do not seem that hard to find. I'm wondering how the Walmart figures are going to work. There are no Mcfarlane figures in the toy aisles in my area, only in the Electronics / Collectors section and I have only seen the Collectors Editions & Digital figures.
I have seen the Retro Super Friends figures in the Collectors section at Target. I only saw Green Lantern, Luthor & Sinestro. I assume someone else got Batman and the Red Platinum Batman & Riddler, unless they are coming out later. There are 5 Targets I can check between home & work, same for Gamestop & Walmart.
