McFarlane Toys has officially announced the grand opening of the “McFarlane Vault.” This new initiative aims to bring highly sought-after designs and classic aesthetic updates to the DC Multiverse line, and the first reveal is none other than the Amazonian Warrior herself. The McFarlane Vault Wonder Woman (Classic) figure has been unveiled as the lead for Wave 1, with pre-orders set to go live on May 8th. If you missed out on this highly sought after figure the first time around, now is your chance!
UPDATE 2 – The figures go up for pre-order today at noon EST. I will have links below to the general locations where they will be found, and will update with direct links to the product when they become available. Good luck!

This specific iteration of Diana Prince captures her in her most iconic, timeless comic book appearance. Featuring the bright red, blue, and gold color palette that defined the character for decades, this figure is a direct response to the massive demand for a definitive, non-movie-inspired version of the character in the 7 inch scale.

The Return of a Legend: McFarlane Vault Wonder Woman
The announcement confirms that the McFarlane Vault Wonder Woman will be the first of five figures released in this initial wave. While the other four figures remain shrouded in mystery for the moment, leading with Wonder Woman is a strategic masterstroke. The character has seen several iterations in the DC Multiverse line, ranging from the Death Metal variants to the Endless Winter designs, but fans have been clamoring for a re-release of this “standard” classic version that fits seamlessly into a Justice League display.
What to Expect from Wave 1
The concept of the McFarlane Vault is particularly exciting for fans who may have missed out on previous limited runs or who are looking for specific comic-accurate renditions of core heroes and villains. By labeling this as “Wave 1,” the team at McFarlane Toys is signaling a long-term commitment to this sub-line (well as long as until the end of the year).
Pre-Order Details and Availability
Mark your calendars for May 8th. McFarlane Toys has stated that these figures will be available at select retailers. While the specific list of retailers hasn’t been fully disclosed, it is expected that major collectors’ hubs like Entertainment Earth, Big Bad Toy Store, and the official McFarlane Toys Store will be the primary destinations for fans.
Given the popularity of Wonder Woman and the scarcity of the original release, it is highly likely that stock will move quickly. The McFarlane Vault Wonder Woman is poised to be one of the most popular releases of the year, especially for those who prioritize the traditional DC Comics look for their shelves.
As the pre-order date approaches, stay tuned for further updates on the rest of Wave 1. Make sure to set your alarms for May 8th to secure your place in the first wave of this new era of DC Multiverse collecting.
