McFarlane DC Multiverse Collector Edition Platinum Chase releases of Mera, Wonder Girl, Black Manta, and Raven from DC Classic
The recently revealed DC Classic wave of McFarlane Collector Edition figures features new figures of Mera, Wonder Girl, Raven, and Black Manta. It is now confirmed that each of these will also have an alternative Platinum 'Chase' variant that is short-packed in the cases.
Raven is recoloured into a white outfit and will feature alternative hands and effect parts. Wonder Girl is now in a black uniform and includes the lasso of truth and alternative hands. Mera features alternative green tones and comes with her Trident and water effect base. Black Manta is a retro-inspired purple colouring on his armour and includes twin swords and jet pack effect pieces. All four figures also include the usual circular display base and a collector card.
We've added these new Platinum Variants to our extensive McFarlane Collector Database
Daughter of the cosmic demon TRIGON™, RAVEN™ struggles to master the baser impulses she has inherited from him. While her father sees her as the key to his plans to consolidate his power, RAVEN uses her vast mystical and psychic abilities to battle evil in all its forms alongside her adopted families, the TEEN TITANS™ and the TITANS™.
Donna Troy’s backstory has been an ever-evolving one, nearly from the time of her creation.
Originally conceived as Wonder Girl™, Donna was meant to be a teenage version of Wonder Woman™ as a founding member of the newly formed Teen Titans™. She became one of the team’s mainstays, taking the independent name Donna Troy, and appearing only once in a Wonder Woman story during the Bronze Age. Continuity was altered in the 1980s to recreate Donna as a girl chosen for training by the Titans of Myth, during which she adopted the name Troia™. In the 1990s, Donna was reestablished once more, but this time as a magical doppelgänger of Wonder Woman brought to life, while Diana was out of action for a while.
A native of the aquatic kingdom of Xebel, an ancient Atlantean penal colony, Mera was trained as an assassin and grew up with a deep suspicion of Atlantis. However, when instructed to kill Aquaman™, she fell in love with him and fought by his side. When Aquaman left Atlantis
to make a life in the surface world, she went with him, but had difficulty adjusting. She got
a welcome chance to return to adventuring during Aquaman and the Others’ quest to fight Black Manta™ and retrieve stolen Atlantean artifacts.
Considered one of Aquaman’s™ greatest enemies, Black Manta™ has a singular hatred for the King of Atlantis. For decades, Manta’s true name and motives were shrouded in mystery, hidden behind his menacing oversize helmet. In modern times, however, his true motivations have been revealed. No matter the era, Black Manta has always inflicted a special kind of pain upon his archenemy, cementing his reputation as one of the most ruthless and driven criminals in DC history.

About Me : As a child of the '70s and '80s I grew up in a golden age for action figures and in my youth bought and sold myself through collections of Star Wars, G.I. Joe (Action Force), and M.A.S.K. while also dabbling in He-Man, Transformers and Ghostbusters. Roll forward and I am now reliving that Youth with the action figures of today and am a collector and fan of the larger 6-8 inch figures from my favourite movie and TV licenses - including the ones mentioned above, but also the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Doctor Who, and the Aliens. I launched The Mephitsu Archives in 2015 with a view of creating a UK-focused site or these figures where fans can pick up the latest action figure news, read reviews and get information on where to buy their figures and what is currently on store shelves. I hope I am delivering that to you guys...
