The hunt for the perfect Mistress of Magic is finally over. In my latest video review, I am taking an quick look at the McFarlane Collector Edition Zatanna Review, specifically focusing on the Platinum Edition (Collector Edition #53).
For fans of the Justice League Dark and the DC Multiverse line, this set represents a significant milestone. Not only do we get a highly articulated Zatanna, but we finally receive a fan-favorite “pack-in” that has been on wishlists for years: Detective Chimp.
The Platinum Difference: What You Need to Know
In the world of McFarlane Toys, “Platinum” can mean the difference between a good figure and an elusive one. In this review, we break down exactly why this version stands apart:
- Detective Chimp’s Aesthetic: Unlike the standard release’s “mustardy” yellow suit, the Platinum version features Bobo in his classic green suit.
- Zatanna’s Refined Paint: We highlight the specific yellow accents on her waist and the potential leg-color variations that make this chase version pop on the shelf.
- The Accessories: From the signature top hat (which fits surprisingly well) to the star-sparkled magical effect hands, we test every piece of gear included in the box.
Articulation and Sculpt Deep-Dive
One of the most requested parts of any McFarlane Collector Edition Zatanna review is the “splitsies” test. How does she move? Despite the long, sculpted hair limiting some head movement, Zatanna features impressive double-jointed knees and elbows. I also take a microscopic look at the paint apps, from the crisp lipstick to the impressively detailed eyes on Detective Chimp.
How She Scales: Comparison Gallery
Is she too short? Too tall? I lined her up alongside the heavy hitters from the last year of DC Multiverse releases. You’ll see exactly how she stacks up next to the McFarlane Wonder Woman, Catwoman, and Supergirl to help you decide if she fits your current display.

Does the $34.99 price tag justify the “Collector Edition” branding? I leave that for you to decide.
