Target Fall Geek-Out: McFarlane DC Direct Batman the Animated Series releases of Batman, Batgirl, Joker, Two-Face, and the Batwing

Revealed for pre-order as part of the Fall Geek-Out event at Target in the US are four new DC Direct Batman the Animated series figures, as well as a new Batwing vehicle.



The four figures are 'Lightning Strike' Batman, Batgirl, Joker, and Two-Face. Each figure comes with alternative hands, accessories, and a collector card. Each figure also includes a collect-and-build part allowing you to assemble Maxie Zeus. This new wave is an October 2024 release.



The new 6-inch scale Batwing measures 37 inches across and can seat two 6-inch figures in an opening cockpit. It also comes with retractable landing gear as well as sound and light features. The Batwing won't be released until the end of December 2024.



These new additions are all now on our extensive McFarlane Collector Database



The Dark Knight. The World’s Greatest Detective. Gotham City’s Guardian. The hero known as Batman goes by many titles as the result of a life in the shadows building an urban legend that is revered by the innocent as much as it is feared by Gotham City’s cowardly and superstitious criminal lot. In a world full of Super Heroes and Super-Villains, Batman fights crime using his intellect, physical and mental training, and an arsenal developed with his family’s fortune. Moreover, Bruce Wayne has an unrelenting need to prevent the kind of tragedy that he suffered from happening to any of Gotham City’s innocents.



A presence in Batman’s world ever since she forcibly inserted herself into it, the tenacious Barbara Gordon has spent her life following in the footsteps of her hero father, Commissioner James “Jim” Gordon. While James Gordon has done much to help Gotham City as one of the few honorable cops on the Gotham City Police force, Barbara has done even more as Batgirl. Originally starting her career by imitating Gotham City’s legendary Dark Knight, Batgirl has since become her own woman, fighting crime in an original style, and putting her years of training and brilliant mind to work protecting Gotham City’s under-served neighborhoods



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 become 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..



"Harvey Dent has led a deeply conflicted life. Possessing a split personality that veers between two extremes—good and evil— Dent goes by the name of Two-Face. It is an apt description of his physical appearance. Scarred by acid into outwardly becoming the monster he once hid away from the world, Two-Face has become a tragic figure and one of Batman’s most unpredictable and dangerous opponents."



Complement your Batman: The Animated Series Batmobile with this jaw-dropping 37" long Batwing replica. Featuring retractable landing gear, battery-powered interior lights and exhaust, and a slide-open cockpit canopy that fits two 6" action figures, this sleek replica will enhance your Batman collection.

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...
