First up this month is the big release of new Star Wars merchandise on April second, for a complete checklist of what's coming out, click on the link and print to your little hearts' content.

Next up this month is the line of action figures being put out for the Sin City movie. This line, by NECA, will have the characters in both Black and White and have color chase variants. So far there's only one figure that I want and that is the Nancy figure in either B&W or color.

Third will be the Marvel Legends line by Toy Biz. This October has series eleven for the line with all the characters having some sort of vehicle to ride on. Look for Logan, Hulk-Buster Iron Man, Scarlet Witch, Ultron, The Thing, Taskmaster, Wonder Man and Vengeance.

Toy Biz also has a Spider-Man Classics line coming out in August. Look for two Spider-Man figures and two villains in each new line from here on out. This line has Scorpion and Beetle as the two big baddies.

Fourth is The Alex Ross Justice League. Due out in September by DC Direct, this has some of the Justice League and some of the JL's Villains done the way only Alex Ross can do them. So far the only figures lined up are Batman, Black Canary, Black Manta, Aquaman and Parasite.

Also by DC Direct are the Identity Crisis figures based on the limited series of the same name that came out the middle of last year. So far they have lined up Deadshot, Dr. Light, Green Arrow and Hawkman. Time has yet to tell us whether or not Zatanna is going to be made or not.

Last up this month, riding on the heels of the success of the Muppets line, Palisades Toys is coming out with Sesame Street figures. Due some time this summer look for figures of Ernie, Oscar, Guy Smiley, and the Two Headed Monster. Look for, at the end of the year, The Count, Bert, Roosevelt, Franklin, the Yip-Yip Martians and a Deluxe Big Bird.

That's all for this month. Look for more next month.
