A new McFarlane DC Multiverse wave featuring Booster Gold, Ambush Bug, and Mr. Freeze have opened for pre-order ahead of a release in June 2024. The trio was previewed back at WonderCon 2024, and we now have a full gallery of images and confirmation of the contents.
The DC Classic release of Ambush Bug will come with an alternative hand and Cheeks the Toy Wonder. Booster Gold is from the Future's End storyline and includes a flight stand. Mr. Freeze is taken from Batman: One Bad Day and includes his Freeze Gun. All three figures also come with the usual collectors' card.
Irwin Schwab is deeply delusional, morally ambiguous, and obsessed with Super Heroes. As Ambush Bug, he sought to join their rarefied society in a body-suit that he claims fell to Earth from the planet Schwab. Harassing Super Heroes including Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, and Kobra, he displayed the abilities of teleporting and healing from any injury. Failing as a villain and faring no better as a hero, he briefly found his niche and a measure of stability as a Bug: Super Hero field-correspondent for Channel 52 News. He still maintains that he has cosmic awareness and that reality is merely comic books being read by extra-dimensional superior beings.
A college football star of the 25th Century who earned the nickname “Booster” on the field. Even though people assured him a professional career of fame and fortune was in his future, he decided he couldn’t wait and wagered on his own games. The scandal ruined his dreams and reputation. Taking a job as a security guard in the Metropolis Space Museum, Mike saw another opportunity after studying the early age of superheroes. With future and alien technology stolen from the museum, and a time machine that was on display, he realized he could not only become a superhero himself in a past era where his criminal history was unknown, but he could also make his good deeds profitable.
Once a brilliant scientist named Victor, his world shattered when his beloved wife Nora fell victim to a terminal illness. Determined to save her, Victor placed her in suspended animation, only to face a devastating accident that left him unable to survive above freezing temperatures. Embracing his new reality, he donned a special suit to maintain his existence and became Mr. Freeze, seeking vengeance against those who stole his happiness.

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...
