Truly ingenious when he came up with the new color-scheme. To this day, I still love the contrast (XD)

So she wasn't in the JLU show, but was in the tie-in comic - why then, does that action figure have a red costume, and the comic, a white one? You'd think they'd match!

I'm sorry... wut? That YJ thing sounds like absolute, pointless character assassination.
You're overthinking it. The people who made the toy probably didn't know about the comic (Note that it's not just the colours that don't match - the toy has an Ordway-esque costume; the comic, despite the colour scheme, has a 70s one).
There have been non-show characters and versions of characters in toylines for as long as there have been toylines based on shows (or vice-versa, depending on your POV). Usually, it's an excuse to reuse (expensive) injection moulds or bulk out a multipack. This was probably both (virtually all the standard-human JLU toys either reused pieces from other toys or had pieces from them reused in other toys).
It's worse - what happened to Mary also happened to Kara Zor-El, they're both pawns of Darkseid. And it doesn't look like we're getting a season 5 to heel face turn them.

I guess the Magic Rabbit is just here to stay for now.
Also I wonder how Mary heard about Malik because clearly she’s searching him out during Lazarus Planet. And for those who don’t know Malik is a new character from the Black Adam book, he’s a med-student who happens to be the descendant of Adam and who Adam forcibly shared his powers with when he thought he was dying.

Also, why does she randomly have trousers for one panel?
First her skirt looks longer than her Shaner design and then she's suddenly wearing pants .
Yeah, it is, actually. World's Finest has both Billy and Supergirl present when Dick was still Robin. Kara should be older than she is (she's supposedly 21) if she was active before Dick became Nightwing. And Billy had his mouth sealed, preventing him from becoming Shazam (why would the demonic villain of the piece do that if he didn't have his powers?). The story is set in the silver age, so he very much shouldn't be around (not only was Captain Marvel NOT around in the silver age and was an AU character when originally reintroduced in 1971, in current continuity he only got his powers two years ago).
The Shazam family are among several groups who need their timelines straightening out.
