At the McFarlane SDCC 2023 panel, we were shown a number of new DC Multiverse releases in the works from the McFarlane team. Starting with the main 7-inch line there is a wave of figures incoming based on the Batman & Robin 1997 movie with Batman, Batgirl, Poison Ivy, Robin and a build-a-figure of Mr. Freeze. This should be an Autumn 2023 release.

From the comics we can also expect new figures in the new 'Collector Edition' line of Firestorm, Hawkman, and Sinestro. And there are more Gold Label figures planned with Black Lightning Green Lantern (Zombies), Supergirl and Catman. Again, these are lined up for an Autumn 2023 release.
McFarlane are also getting into Digital Collectible as a format and crossing this over into their main physical lines with a new wave of Batman, Wonder Woman, and Aquaman which then include the ability to collect a digital Starro collectible via the use of an NFT included with each physical release.
Moving on to the DC Retro Super Powers 5-inch line and McFarlane have a handful of new products in the works including the Whirlybat and figures of Batman, Superman, Robin, The Flash, Reverse Flash, and Nightwing. The Retro Batman line is also expanding with the next wave featuring Batman, Robin, Superman, Robot Batman, Lord Death Man, and The Joker.
All of these DC Retro figures are Autumn 2023 reelases.
Also in the 6-inch format, and under the DC Direct banner we can look forward to a Batman the Animated Series line. The wave shown at SDCC for a Quarter 4 2023 release was a build-a-figure wave including Batman, Robin, Scarecrow, Mr Freeze and a Condiment King build-a-figure.
McFarlane's other key license, Spawn, was shown as a new 'kick starter' project for later this year with a Medieval Spawn figure promising to be the most detailed Spawn to date.

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...
