Canadian retailer EB Games has listed a selection of new McFarlane DC Multiverse releases for pre-order. These are all items shown off recently on an episode of the McFarlane store and include Darkstars from Darkstars Rising, the Dark Archer Malcolm Merlyn from Green Arrow, and Metron with Throne from New Gods


These are all Collector Edition releases and listed on EB Games as August 2025 releases. We've added the trio to our extensive McFarlane Collector Database



The Darkstars were formed to patrol space and destroy chaos by the Controllers, an aggressive sect of the Guardians of the Universe, and N.E.M.O., the Network for the Establishment and Maintenance of Order. Ferrin Colos of Zamba, joined the group and was assigned to Earth. After the Darkstars, L.E.G.I.O.N., and the Green Lantern Corps defeated the Triarch—a trinity of evil ancient deities—the three groups agreed on their separate peacekeeping roles in the universe.



As a child, Oliver Queen first became interested in archery after encountering master bowman “Merlyn the Magician”—a phenomenally accurate archer and showman. Years later, the performer challenged Queen—now Green Arrow—to a duel and publicly humiliated him. Queen had no idea then that Merlyn (Arthur King) had a sideline in assassination, working for Ra’s al Ghul’s League of Assassins. As Malcolm Merlyn, he is one of the most dangerous men alive and a sharp assessor of the odds.



The origins of Metron are unknown, but at some point in history the New God received an amazing chair from enigmatic presence Mobius. It allowed Metron access to time, space, dimensions, and all the knowledge in the universe—except for the mysterious benefactor’s identity. On his incredible journeys, Metron witnessed multiple crises destroying and remaking numerous realities.

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...
