Did you see a Batgirl in the collection Brian? I was under the impression there's not one, but two versions in the new assortment.
Actually, I think that Batgirl has gotten bumped to one of the waves in 2007, although I've read rumors of a Target exclusive two pack this year as well (Batman/Batgirl - I'll double check on that if I can). The wave that is hitting stores here consists of the new Batman, Robin (repacked), Mr. Freeze (retooled), and Azrael. That's all that has shown on the cardback as well. Of course, our WM only has Batman and Robin last time I was there.
I agree with you, there sure was a long wait between waves with this line. I guess it works out fine though, since I had enough to spend money on this summer anyways. I kind of just pick and choose with this line for now, but the figures I do have aren't too bad at all. Its really too bad that Mattel doesn't have the entire DC license though, so we could get figures like Flash, GL, and the other Justice Leaguers. The Batman from this series is pretty nice though.
EDIT: Ok, just picked up this list from the
Action Figure Insider forums. It looks like Batgirl might be a part of the exclusive two packs later this year, otherwise in 2007. Here's the checklist they have:
Series 1 – Batman (December 2005)
__Batman (with blue or grey knee pins) (comic Batman line Dx. Bat Signal Batman retool, without signal)

__CHASE: Bane with Osito
