McFarlane Toys opened preorders on July 8, 2026 for a trio of premium Collector Edition figures, and DC Classic Wonder Woman #61 is the headline release of the three. DCCollectors' own breakdown of the wave, published directly ahead of the drop, confirms this version leans into the exact bright, quintessential comic-book aesthetic longtime Wonder Woman collectors have been requesting.
Wonder Woman released alongside Poison Ivy (#62) and Hawkgirl (#63) as part of the same numbered Collector Edition wave, but given how quickly previous Wonder Woman figures have sold through on the aftermarket, DCCollectors specifically flagged her as the primary target for collectors racing the July 8 drop window.
Here is what's confirmed about the figure, what makes the Collector Edition format different from a standard McFarlane release, and how to protect it once it arrives.
DCCollectors and McFarlane's own product page confirm the following:
That accessory count is notably deep for a single figure, giving Wonder Woman a genuinely varied set of posing and display options beyond a single default weapon loadout.
Rather than a generalized classic Wonder Woman design, this figure is tied to one specific comic: Wonder Woman Vol. 2 #72's Brian Bolland cover from March 1993. That specificity matters for collectors who care about source accuracy, since it means the figure's costume details, hairstyle, and color palette are meant to match one particular piece of cover art rather than a composite of the character's various comic looks.
Every figure in McFarlane's Collector Edition format carries a chance at an ultra-rare Platinum Edition chase variant, and for Wonder Woman that chase swaps her classic 1990s costume out for her sleek New 52 costume design instead. That's a meaningfully different look from the standard release rather than just a color or finish variant, giving the chase genuine value as an alternate-costume piece rather than a simple rarity gimmick.
Wonder Woman released alongside Poison Ivy (Collector Edition #62, with her own green-skinned Platinum chase) and Hawkgirl as Kendra Saunders (Collector Edition #63, with a classic Shiera Sanders Platinum chase). McFarlane's own framing positions this as a dedicated wave built around DC's female characters, giving all three figures a shared release window and numbered Collector Edition format even though each draws from a different corner of DC lore.
The Collector Edition line distinguishes itself from McFarlane's standard DC Multiverse releases through upgraded packaging, a numbered figure identity, an included art card, and a display stand as standard inclusions rather than optional extras. That combination is specifically aimed at collectors who want a more premium unboxing and shelf presentation than a standard carded figure offers, even before factoring in the Platinum chase possibility.
DCCollectors specifically called out that previous Wonder Woman figures in McFarlane's DC line have a track record of selling out fast on release day, which is why they flagged this release as the wave's top priority target rather than treating all three figures as equally time-sensitive. Anyone splitting attention across all three drops on release day should weigh that history when deciding where to focus first.
DCCollectors' breakdown confirmed preorder links across five major retailers for this wave: Amazon, BigBadToyStore, Entertainment Earth, GameStop, and Walmart, with most links going live around noon Eastern on drop day. Since Collector Edition drops can move across retailers unevenly, with some selling through faster than others, having multiple retailer tabs ready ahead of the actual go-live time is a more reliable strategy than watching just one storefront.
That multi-retailer spread also means a missed preorder at one storefront doesn't necessarily mean missing out entirely, since stock and timing can vary slightly between Amazon, GameStop, and the more collector-focused retailers like BigBadToyStore.
Given the included display base, art card, and numbered packaging, a PET protector sized for McFarlane's standard box format keeps the entire Collector Edition presentation, not just the figure itself, shelf-ready and protected from handling wear.
Once displayed, a dedicated 7-inch action figure case built for McFarlane's DC Multiverse scale keeps Wonder Woman presented alongside other Collector Edition pieces in a clean, dust-free setup.

Wonder Woman Vol. 2 #72 (March 1993), featuring cover art by Brian Bolland.
It swaps her classic costume for her New 52 costume design rather than just changing colors.
A McFarlane display base and a collectible art card featuring the original comic cover artwork, along with an axe, sword, shield, interchangeable hands, and the Lasso of Truth.
Wonder Woman Collector Edition #61 gives McFarlane's premium DC line a genuinely specific, source-accurate figure built around one iconic 1993 cover, backed by a deep accessory set and a meaningfully distinct Platinum chase variant. Given her track record of selling out fast, moving quickly on preorder is worth prioritizing over the wave's other two figures if only one can be secured immediately.
Once she's in hand, protecting the full Collector Edition presentation, not just the figure, keeps this release in the condition that makes the premium format worth the price difference over a standard carded figure.
