First up this month is the Teen Titans line of
action figures based on the
Cartoon Network show of the same name. There will
be a 3.5" line as well as a 5" line of figures. DC
Direct will not put these out; instead Bandai will
put them out. The five-inch figures will have some
sort of action feature or a light up feature. The
three figures in the five-inch will be Cyborg,
Beast Boy and Robin. Each of the 3.5" figures will
come with some sort of vehicle. The figures in the
3.5" line will be Starfire, Raven, and Robin. Look
for these figures to be out in May or June.
Next up on the agenda for this month are the
Marvel Legends figures from
Toy Biz. Due out this summer, this line is mutant
influenced with the likes of Wolverine (in his
brown and yellow costume), Phoenix (she will be
the figure to get because she's the chase figure),
Cable, Deadpool, and Juggernaut. The only
non-mutant in the set is the Punisher, which I
guess is because his movie will be out about that
time.
The Transformers Generation One bandwagon keeps
rolling on in the spring
with the next group of figures. This time around
is Transformers the Movie mainstay Rodimus Prime,
and Deceptacon Jet Dirge. Also coming out will be
Sideswipe and Skids. Look for them some time this
spring at Toys R Us.
Last up this month is DC Direct and their August
offerings. Coming in this
set will be a set of Silver Age figures based on
Batwoman and Bat-Girl that will also include
Bat-mite and Ace the Bathound.
That's all for this month. If you have any
