It's time once again to thumb through the toy section of this month's Previews, and see what goodies we can uncover. Scheduled to start shipping in July.<\/p>\n

DC Direct has a single Captain Cold<\/b> action figure on page 154, as well as two three-packs of re-releases: Trinity War<\/b> with New 52 Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman, and Hush<\/b> with Joker, Harley Quinn and Stealth Batman.<\/p>\n

The giant Solomon Grundy<\/b> we saw at Toy Fair is listed on page 155! And amazingly, he's only $90.<\/p>\n

We don't understand the appeal of the Aardman DC figures<\/b>, but there's a five-pack of them on page 157.<\/p>\n

Pages 176\/7 have IDW's GI Joe<\/b> comics, pages 178-180 have Transformers<\/b>, and page 181 has My Little Pony<\/b>.<\/p>\n

McFarlane has finally released the first images of their Assassin's Creed<\/b> figures, and they don't look too bad. Check out page 230 if you don't believe us.<\/p>\n

DST's Star Trek Select<\/b> finally gets to the good era, bringing us Captain Picard. See him blasting Borg on page 411.<\/p>\n

Similarly, page 412 has Universal Select<\/b> versions of Quasimodo and Dr. Jeckyll, both played by Lon Chaney.<\/p>\n

The Minimates<\/b> show up on pages 414\/5, with Thundercats, Walking Dead, and the new Thor movie.<\/p>\n

NECA's 1\/4 scale Batman<\/b> figures - Adam West and Michael Keaton - are on page 418.<\/p>\n

There are GI Joe<\/b> vinyl mini-figures on page 422, but at $13 each, they seem expensive. There are Transformers<\/b> on page 424, but they cost a dollar more!<\/p>\n

Godzilla<\/b> fans will like page 425, with both 6\" and 11\" collectible figures.<\/p>\n

Page 426 has Marvel Universe<\/b> and Iron man Legends<\/b> toys, but nothing we didn't already know about.<\/p>\n

There's lots of NECA goodness on page 427, with Pacific Rim<\/b>, Kick-Ass 2<\/b>, Lone Ranger<\/b> and Predator<\/b>.<\/p>\n

The TMNT<\/b> toys on page 430 are a mix of old and new.<\/p>\n
