Doomsday has shown up in McFarlane's DC Multiverse line before, but usually paired with Superman in a boxed set. That changes with the new Gold Label Megafig, which gives the character his first true solo release.
McFarlane confirmed the figure as part of a Gold Label exclusive wave alongside Robin, Catwoman, and Bane, with the reveal landing in mid-August. It is built as a large-format Megafig rather than a standard 7 inch figure.
This guide covers what is confirmed about the release, what makes the solo format different, and how EVORETRO's case format fits this larger McFarlane figure.
The Doomsday Megafig stands roughly 9.5 inches tall, built with Ultra Articulation for up to 22 points of movement. It ships with an environmental rock base and a collectible art card, matching McFarlane's usual Gold Label presentation.
McFarlane lists it as a Gold Label exclusive sold primarily through its own store, with the wave shipping in the weeks following the mid-August announcement.
The figure is built as a re-release of the sculpt originally used in McFarlane's earlier Superman vs. Doomsday two-pack, now offered as a standalone piece for the first time as a true DC Comics solo release.
Every prior McFarlane Doomsday release has come bundled with Superman in a two-pack. A standalone Megafig changes that. It gives collectors who already own the earlier Superman vs. Doomsday set a way to add a larger, more detailed solo version without buying a second Superman.
That also makes it a more natural centerpiece for a Death of Superman display built around scale and pose rather than a paired scene.
A 9.5 inch Megafig with an attached base does not fit the same footprint as a standard McFarlane 7 inch figure. Anyone planning to keep the figure boxed or rotate it in and out of storage should plan for a case sized closer to McFarlane's larger releases.
Collectors who already store other McFarlane Gold Label figures usually already have the right format on hand.
The Doomsday Megafig is shipping alongside Robin, Catwoman, and Bane in the same Gold Label wave, which puts it in company with several other high-demand DC characters releasing at once. That kind of grouped drop tends to spread collector attention across multiple figures rather than concentrating it on one.
For anyone building toward a full Death of Superman display, that timing is useful. It means related pieces from the same storyline arc are landing close together instead of trickling out over separate, unrelated waves.
It also means a shelf built around this release can grow quickly if several of the wave's figures are picked up together, which is worth planning display and storage space for in advance.
McFarlane's DC Multiverse line leans heavily on hero-centric releases, with villains often appearing only in paired sets built around a specific confrontation. A standalone Doomsday breaks that pattern, treating the character as a centerpiece rather than a supporting piece in someone else's box.
That shift matters for collectors who specifically build villain-focused shelves, since standalone releases like this one are less common than hero solo figures across the line.
If you already collect McFarlane's 7 inch DC Multiverse line, EVORETRO's McFarlane Toys action figure case is the clearest starting point for keeping boxed figures from this wave protected on the shelf.
With Doomsday now available on its own, collectors have more flexibility in how they build a display around the character. A standalone figure can sit alongside the earlier Superman vs. Doomsday two-pack for a larger scene, or stand independently as its own centerpiece without needing the paired Superman figure at all.
That flexibility is part of what makes solo releases valuable even when a character has appeared in the line before. It gives collectors a choice instead of locking them into a single presentation format.
McFarlane lists it at approximately 9.5 inches tall.
Yes, prior releases paired Doomsday with Superman in a two-pack.
It is a Gold Label exclusive sold primarily through McFarlane's own store.
An environmental rock base and a collectible art card, along with Ultra Articulation.
A solo Doomsday Megafig is the kind of centerpiece figure worth protecting from the day it arrives, and EVORETRO's full figure protector lineup covers everything from this release down to standard-size carded figures.
Whether it becomes the anchor of a new Death of Superman shelf or joins an existing McFarlane row, giving it a proper case keeps the detail work intact.
