They include Black Canary from DC Rebirth with a soft goods removable jacket. She is joined by a DC Classic Shazam! Freddy Freeman figure. From All-Star Squadron comes a new figure of Vigilante.



They are joined by the new DC Classic figure of Lobo, First Appearance Supergirl from Action Comics, and the Joker from the Batman 1989 comic.



Each of the six figures also has a Platinum Edition variant with differnt colouration on the costumes. These will be packed randomly in cases of the figures, and if you order a full case through the McFarlane store, you will be guaranteed one of the variants.

When Greg Sanders' father was killed by bandits, he left a career as "the Prairie Troubadour" to become the crime fighter Vigilante. Moving to New York, he partnered with young martial artist Stuff and even teamed with Superman to track down a werewolf. He later formed a new Seven Soldiers of Victory team to fight the far-future Sheeda, but they were massacred in the battle.



Kara Zar-El, Superman's long-lost cousin, arrives on Earth and adopts a secret identity to aid Superman in the ongoing fight for truth and justice!



Intergalactic biker LOBO is the last survivor of the alien "CZARNIAN" race, but only because he killed the whole lot of them. Crude, rude, and nearly impossible to kill, the super-tough bounty hunter wanders the cosmos on his space bike, looking for new and deserving "bastiches" to "frag", with plenty of pit stops at local alien bars along the way.



The Joker possesses what must arguably be the most dangerous criminal mind on the planet. With no moral compass to speak of and a sick sense of humor that derives joy from witnessing the pain of others, the notorious Clown Prince of Crime is the smiling foil to the Batman's grim and serious demeanor. With a reputation as infamous as that of the "Dark Knight", The Joker has became a one-man movement in the city of Gotham City·, attracting a sea of followers as he proceeds to indulge in unthinkable crimes that would give even the cruelest career criminal pause.



Freddy Freeman joined the Marvel Family just two years after the emergence of Captain Marvel"· After a series of trials that followed Infinite Crisis, Freddy Freeman became the new Captain Marvel (now calling himself Shazam), with Billy Batson assuming The Wizard's place and overseeing the Rock of Eternity".



Black Canary has been many things-black ops agent, fugitive, Super Hero, and rock star. She has trained with some of the best martial artists in the world, and her "canary cry" gives her an edge in combat. She was a key member of Team 7 and later founded the Birds of Prey", fighting alongside Batgirl". She has also been a member of the Justice League of America.

About Me : As a child of the '70s and '80s I grew up in a golden age for action figures and in my youth bought and sold myself through collections of Star Wars, G.I. Joe (Action Force), and M.A.S.K. while also dabbling in He-Man, Transformers and Ghostbusters. Roll forward and I am now reliving that Youth with the action figures of today and am a collector and fan of the larger 6-8 inch figures from my favourite movie and TV licenses - including the ones mentioned above, but also the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Doctor Who, and the Aliens. I launched The Mephitsu Archives in 2015 with a view of creating a UK-focused site or these figures where fans can pick up the latest action figure news, read reviews and get information on where to buy their figures and what is currently on store shelves. I hope I am delivering that to you guys...
