Target's Summer Geek-Out event has reached its 5th year, and the first exclusives out of the traps are a set of new McFarlane DC figures, starting with the 7-inch DC Multiverse Collector Edition release of Kite-Man. Kite-Man is a July 2025 release and comes with alternative hands, and his kite.
The other figures are all part of the DC Direct Batman the Animated Series line. This full new wave includes figures of Classic Batman, Killer Croc, Rhas Al Ghul, and The Ghost. Each figure includes additional hands/arms as well as character appropriate accessories. Each release also comes with a build-a-figure part allowing you to build a fifth figure of Jonah Hex.
This 5th Wave of Batman: The Animated Series figures is a late July 2025 release. We've added it, and the Kite-Man figure to our extensive McFarlane Collector Database
After studying wind in school, Charles Brown fell into a life of crime, designing the aerodynamics of The Joker’s Jokermobile, but otherwise regarded as a loser—even by his wife. He became Kite-Man when the Riddler murdered his son during the War of Jokes and Riddles, adopting the identity in honor of his boy, with whom he used to fly kites.
As a child, BRUCE WAYNE™ watched as his parents were brutally killed in GOTHAM CITY’S CRIME ALLEY. Traumatized by their deaths, he devoted his life to becoming the world’s greatest weapon against crime – BATMAN™! To become the ultimate vigilante, the DARK KNIGHT™ disciplined his mind and body to reach the pinnacle of mental and physical superiority in his relentless pursuit of justice!
Killer Croc can often be found in the sewers, with the old tunnels providing him with the perfect hideaway. Croc often takes charge of some of the other forgotten souls who dwell there.
He is the legendary figure whose name roughly translates as “The Demon’s Head.” A villain who has earned that name a thousand times over, Ra’s al Ghul is the leader of the League of Assassins, an ancient organization based in the mystical city of ’Eth Alth’eban.
The star character of the TV show of the same name, the Gray Ghost was a huge hero and influence in Bruce Wayne's childhood; he often watched the show with his father before Thomas's tragic passing.

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...
