McFarlane Toys opened pre-orders for Vault Wave 2 on June 11, 2026, and DCCollectors' own preview breakdown confirms this second wave brings back four of the DC Multiverse line's most notoriously hard-to-find figures in upgraded, collector-focused Vault packaging. BigBadToyStore's live product listing confirms Cyborg Superman specifically at $26.99, with an estimated October 2026 arrival.
Since Vault releases exist specifically to answer past sellouts rather than introduce new sculpts, knowing exactly which four figures made this wave, and what's actually different about the Vault packaging, matters more than usual.
DCCollectors and BigBadToyStore's own listings confirm the following:
All four figures ship in premium Vault Collection packaging with a collectible art card, distinguishing this release from each figure's original standard-retail packaging.
Cyborg Superman, based on Hank Henshaw's appearance in The Return of Superman storyline, is the figure DCCollectors specifically flagged as having driven the most toy-hunting frustration over the past year. Confirmed accessories include a premium soft-goods fabric cape, a pair of interchangeable hands, a figure display base, and a collectible art card with character biography, giving this Vault release genuinely elevated presentation over the harder-to-find original run.
The Knightfall-era Batman figure captures the classic blue-and-grey costume with the yellow oval chest emblem from the storyline where Bane broke the Bat, one of the most requested eras among DC Multiverse collectors. It ships with a batarang, multiple interchangeable extra hands for tactical posing, a character art card, and a figure display base. DCCollectors notes the original release became difficult to find at a reasonable price on the secondary market, making this reissue a direct answer to that demand.
Pulled from the Batman: Three Jokers miniseries, this version of the Joker captures what DCCollectors describes as his calculated, sophisticated criminal-mastermind persona rather than his more chaotic classic look. It ships with a vintage-style camera, a metal crowbar, a character art card, and a figure display base, tools tied directly to some of the character's most infamous crimes in the source material.
Rounding out the wave is Captain Carrot, leader of the Zoo Crew from Earth-26, described by DCCollectors as one of the most fun and unique figures McFarlane has produced recently. The hyper-articulated Rodney Rabbit figure sold out rapidly on its original release, and this Vault reissue ships with four interchangeable extra hands built for dynamic flying or punching poses, alongside a character art card and figure display base.
DCCollectors is direct about the Vault Collection's purpose: unlike a standard retail wave introducing new characters, Vault releases act as a direct response to collector demand, bringing back the best of McFarlane's back catalog for anyone who missed the original allocation. That distinction matters for anyone expecting a genuinely new sculpt rather than a reissue in improved packaging.
BigBadToyStore's product listing for Cyborg Superman breaks the box contents down precisely: the figure itself, a pair of interchangeable hands, a figure base, and a collectable art card, alongside the premium soft-goods cape mentioned in DCCollectors' preview. That level of retailer-confirmed detail is worth checking against for each of the other three figures individually, since accessory counts can vary slightly figure to figure even within the same wave.
McFarlane's original Vault Collection launch established the format collectors now recognize: previously sold-out DC Multiverse figures returning in upgraded packaging with an included art card and display base as standard inclusions rather than optional extras. Wave 2 follows that same structure closely, but leans harder into variety, pairing two grounded, in-continuity figures (Cyborg Superman, Knightfall Batman) with two figures pulled from more stylized corners of DC lore (the Comedian Joker's miniseries-specific look, Captain Carrot's Earth-26 cartoon aesthetic). That spread gives Wave 2 a broader appeal across different collecting priorities than a wave built around a single theme or era.
Since all four figures in this wave have documented track records of selling out and commanding secondary-market premiums in their original releases, protecting the Vault packaging on all four helps preserve both display condition and long-term value. A PET protector sized for McFarlane's standard box format keeps the card and bubble shielded from shelf handling.
For collectors displaying loose, a dedicated 7-inch action figure case keeps the full wave, from Cyborg Superman's cape to Captain Carrot's interchangeable hands, presented cleanly together.
Pre-orders opened June 11, 2026, with an estimated October 2026 arrival according to BigBadToyStore's listing.
$26.99, according to BigBadToyStore's confirmed pricing.
Cyborg Superman (The Return of Superman), Batman (Knightfall), The Joker/The Comedian (Batman: Three Jokers), and Captain Carrot.
No. Vault releases reissue previously sold-out DC Multiverse figures in premium collector packaging rather than introducing new characters or sculpts.
McFarlane Vault Wave 2 gives collectors who missed the first run of Cyborg Superman, Knightfall Batman, the Comedian Joker, and Captain Carrot a genuine second chance, backed by upgraded packaging and confirmed October 2026 arrival timing. Knowing this is a reissue wave rather than new content is the most useful thing to get straight before ordering.
Once the wave arrives, protecting all four figures is worth prioritizing given how consistently each one has sold out and appreciated on the secondary market in its original release.
