McFarlane Toys has unveiled a new Soranik Natu collectible as part of its DC Page Punchers series. The 7-inch figure is slated for a November 2026 release and comes bundled with a reprint of a specific comic issue.
A $39.74 investment in 22 points of articulation
The new Soranik Natu figure is designed with what McFarlane Toys calls "Ultra Articulation," featuring 22 moving parts to allow for a wide range of dynamic posing. According to the report, the set is more than just a figure; it includes two energy consturcts, two additional hands, a display base, and a collectible art card. This release is specifically modeled after the character's appearance in Green Lantern Corps #47.
Collectors should note a shift in pricing for this wave of the DC Page Punchers line. As the source reported, preorders are currently live at a price point of $39.74, which represents a price increase for the series. This suggests that McFarlane Toys may be adjusting its margins as it continues to expand its high-detail offerings for the DC Multiverse.
Soranik Natu's journey from Korugar to Green Lantern Corps #47
Soranik Natu is not a typical hero; she is the biological daughter of the notorious villain Sinestro and a trained neurosurgeon from the planet Korugar.. Her character arc is defined by a struggle between her medical ethics and her familial legacy. While she initially served as a respected officer in Sector 1417 of the Green Lantern Corps, she eventually transitioned into a leadership role within the Sinestro Corps, wielding a yellow power ring.
The inclusion of Soranik Natu in the Page Punchers line reflects a broader trend of McFarlane Toys targeting deeper comic book lore rather than just mainstream cinematic characters. By pairing the 7-inch figure with a reprint of Green Lantern Corps #47, McFarlane Toys is positioning these collectibles as entry points for readers to explore the complex mythology of the Green Lantern universe, including Natu's interactions with Hal Jordan and Kyle Rayner.
The race to build a roster before the 2027 license expiration
The aggressive rollout of Green Lantern characters is driven by a looming deadline. According to the report, McFarlane Toys expects to lose its DC license in 2027, creating a narow window to produce as many desired characters as possible. This explains the recent surge in "army builders" and the introduction of prominent female Lanterns like Soranik Natu to round out the collection before the partnership ends.
This deadline leaves several critical questions for the collecting community. it remains unclear which company will secure the DC license after McFarlane Toys exits in 2027, or if DC will move the license in-house.. Furthermore, the source does not specify if the November 2026 release date for Soranik Natu is a hard deadline or if further delays could push the product closer to the actual expiration of the license.
Beyond DC: Johnny Cage and Shang Tsung enter the fray
While the DC Multiverse line may be winding down, McFarlane Toys is diversifying its portfolio with other intellectual properties. The company recently revealed a two-pack featuring Johnny Cage and Shang Tsung for its Mortal Kombat Klassic line. These 7-inch scale figures signal that McFarlane Toys is shifting its focus toward video game-based collectibles to offset the eventual loss of the DC partnership.
In addition to the fighting game releases, McFarlane Toys is continuing to support other comic-adjacent lines. The company has announced that new figures from The New Batman Adventures are currently in development. By balancing the sunsetting DC license with new Mortal Kombat and Batman releases, McFarlane Toys is attempting to maintain its market share in the high-articulation figure space.
