McFarlane Toys' DC Multiverse Sinestro figure is confirmed for a late July 2026 release, priced at $27.99, in his classic black-and-blue comics design. Bleeding Cool's coverage confirms the figure ships with a Yellow Lantern battery accessory and a yellow energy construct effect piece, giving the villain's signature power ring a genuine display option rather than an empty-handed pose.
Sinestro isn't arriving alone. McFarlane's current DC Multiverse slate is leaning heavily into the Green Lantern corner of the DC universe this wave, giving collectors several ring-wielding figures to track at once rather than a single standalone release.
Bleeding Cool's reporting confirms the following:
The energy construct piece is worth calling out specifically, since Sinestro's power ring constructs are as central to his character as Green Lantern's own, and a figure without one would be missing a core piece of his visual identity.
Sinestro releases alongside Green Lantern Kyle Rayner, appearing in his Torchbearer design, plus two more alien Corps members, Green Lantern NautKeLoi and Green Lantern Ghr'lis. That's four Green Lantern Corps-adjacent figures landing close together, giving collectors focused specifically on this corner of DC continuity a genuinely deep wave to pull from rather than a single figure competing against unrelated characters for shelf space.
Green Lantern-focused waves have historically been less common than Batman or Justice League-centric releases in McFarlane's DC Multiverse line, since the Corps' large roster of alien characters can be a harder sell to collectors outside dedicated Green Lantern fandom. Bundling Sinestro with three Corps figures at once signals McFarlane is treating this as a genuine push into that corner of the DC roster rather than a single opportunistic villain release.
Sinestro occupies a unique spot among DC villains: a former Green Lantern himself, cast out of the Corps for abusing his authority, who went on to build his own Yellow Lantern Corps around the emotion of fear rather than willpower. That backstory is part of why his figure carries a Yellow Lantern battery rather than a generic weapon accessory, tying the included piece directly to his own splinter organization rather than treating him as a simple Green Lantern antagonist.
This Green Lantern wave lands during what's shaping up to be an unusually active year for DC Multiverse, with McFarlane also working through Arkham series reissues, a cosmic-leaning Green Lantern expansion, and standalone releases like Cyborg Superman and Knightfall Batman covered elsewhere on this blog. With DC's licensing landscape set for a shift in 2027, this year's steady cadence of waves across multiple corners of the DC universe looks like McFarlane making the most of the current 7-inch line before any format changes take effect.
Bleeding Cool's coverage confirms Sinestro's price, accessories, and general late-July timeframe, but an exact street date and full solicitation details for Kyle Rayner, NautKeLoi, and Ghr'lis within the same wave haven't been individually broken out. Collectors specifically chasing the full four-figure set should watch for individual retailer listings to firm up alongside Sinestro's own release.
DC Multiverse has built much of its collector base by alternating between film, animated, and straight comics-accurate designs across its releases, giving collectors a way to pick sides depending on which version of a character they grew up with. Choosing the classic black-and-blue comics look for Sinestro rather than a more recent redesign or animated take is a deliberate choice that plays to longtime readers rather than casual fans who might only know him from a single adaptation. For a character with as long a publishing history as Sinestro, going comics-accurate also sidesteps the risk of a design feeling dated the moment a newer film or show reinterprets him.
McFarlane's own online store is the most direct source for Sinestro and the rest of the Green Lantern wave, with preorders live ahead of the late-July release. Since McFarlane frequently sells through popular villain figures faster than mainline hero releases, especially when a figure ships with a distinct accessory like Sinestro's Yellow Lantern battery, ordering directly rather than waiting for retail shelf stock is the more reliable path to securing the full wave.
Since this wave spans four figures landing close together, having a consistent protection setup ready before they arrive is worth planning for rather than catching up figure by figure.
For carded figures straight off the shelf, a PET protector sized for DC Multiverse packaging keeps the card and bubble shielded from shelf wear during the weeks between release and unboxing.
For collectors displaying loose, a 7-inch DC Multiverse action figure case keeps Sinestro's energy construct piece and battery accessory presented cleanly alongside the rest of the wave rather than loose on a shelf.

Yes, McFarlane's figure uses his classic black-and-blue comics look rather than a film or animated design.
McFarlane's DC Multiverse Sinestro gives collectors a comics-accurate take on one of DC's most enduring villains, backed by a wave that's genuinely deepening the Green Lantern Corps side of the line rather than treating it as an afterthought. With Kyle Rayner, NautKeLoi, and Ghr'lis all landing close together, this is a rare chance to build out a real Green Lantern display in one push.
Once the wave starts arriving, keeping all four figures protected in a matching setup is worth planning before the first one even ships.
