Just when action figure collectors thought their wallets were safe after the massive San Diego Comic-Con announcements, JSIND Toys dropped a brand-new bombshell. The upcoming lineup of convention <a href="https://comicvibe.com/xbox-confirms-more-permanent-console-exclusives-are-coming/” title=”XBOX Confirms More Permanent Console Exclusives Are Coming”>exclusives is officially getting the chase treatment. Take this with a huge grain of salt! I have never heard of JSIND Toys, but they do have pics of Kilowog in hand!
Following the initial reveal of five highly anticipated standard figures heading to the convention floor, eagle-eyed collectors spotted a massive piece of news buried deep within the social media chatter. In a direct reply within the Instagram comment section, the JSIND Toys account confirmed that there are McFarlane Toys SDCC Platinum Editions of these exclusives.
While the toy manufacturer stopped short of showing off the physical variants, a fan asked “So there is a chase but you’re under embargo and cannot disclose them”, JSIND responded with a “yeah.” This confirmation changes the entire landscape of the convention hunt for DC Multiverse fans.
The Hunt for the Unreleased Chase Figures
The standard SDCC lineup for Booth #1915 is already incredibly strong, featuring Red Hood (Under the Red Hood), Kilowog, Ultraviolet Lantern John Stewart, White Lantern Kyle Rayner, and a classic comic book version of The Question. With the confirmation of corresponding Platinum Editions, collectors are already speculating wildly about what these variant chases could look like.
Will we see an unmasked version of Jason Todd for the Under the Red Hood figure? Could The Question receive a variant based on his modern look, or perhaps a color swap highlighting a different era of the detective’s history? The cosmic characters offer even deeper possibilities, with fans wondering if Kilowog might get an unarmored training look or if the Lanterns will feature translucent, construct-heavy molding to emphasize their ring powers.
The bigger question is will these be available at the show? Maybe regular releases throughout the year for fans that didn’t get to SDCC?
Historically, tracking down standard McFarlane chase figures at retail is tough enough, but securing a convention-exclusive Platinum variant raises the stakes to an entirely new level. Because these are tied to limited edition Gold Label and numbered Collector Edition releases (such as Kilowog at #64 and Red Hood at #65), the production numbers on these hidden chases are bound to be exceptionally low.
For fans planning their strategy for Booth #1915, this means early morning arrivals and swift lines are more critical than ever. The company has not yet detailed how these variants will be distributed, whether they will be randomly mixed into the standard stock purchase lines or offered as separate ultra-rare allocations, or even admitted they are real, but the scramble to secure them will undoubtedly be the talk of the show floor.
