Scheduled to start shipping in September.<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->Really? DC Direct has NO toys this month? Just a pair of <b>Ame-Comi<\/b> repaints on page 138? White Canary and Black Flash will supposedly arrive February 1.<\/p>\n<p>IDW's <b>GI Joe<\/b> and <b>Transformers<\/b> comics are found between pages 150 and 153.<\/p>\n<p>McFarlane is listing the first series of <b>Walking Dead TV figures<\/b> on page 210, scheduled for a November release. They look nice, but remember: 5\".<\/p>\n<p>Page 211 shows <b>Halo<\/b> anniversary singles and 3-packs.<\/p>\n<p><b>Femme Fatales Minimates Series 2<\/b> are shown on page 382. They include Medusa (a siren, actually), Anne Bonny, Little Red and Alice.<\/p>\n<p>Then, on page 384, we see <b>Marvel vs. Capcom Minimates Series 2<\/b>, and the page next to that has <b>Marvel Select Colossus<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>There are new <b>GI Joe<\/b> figure and vehicle listings on page 387 - the art is old, but don't get confused.<\/p>\n<p>If you're interested in <b>South Park<\/b> figures, you should check out page 388. And it's the same page for NECA's <b>Gremlins<\/b> Series 2.<\/p>\n<p>Mattel's <b>Green Lantern Movie Masters<\/b> and <b>Young Justice<\/b> figures are listed on page 391, and so are the <b>Living Dead Dolls minifigures<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>I don't know if anyone actually buys <b>Lego<\/b> through previews, but it starts on page 392. There's even a Lego Star Wars character encyclopedia with an exclusive figure.<\/p>\n<p><b>Marvel Universe<\/b> three-packs are shown on page 394, including the living members of the Fantastic Four, and the Guardians of the Galaxy: not the real team, but the one kicking around now.<\/p>\n<p>Page 396 shows both a 3&#190;\" <b>Dexter<\/b> toy, and NECA's newest <b>Terminator<\/b> figures.<\/p>\n<p><b>Star Wars<\/b> fans should turn to page 397, if only to see Savage Opress called Savage Repress. Ha!<\/p>\n<p>There are no real Transformers shown this month, but the <b>Kre-O<\/b> sets are listed on pages 398 and 399.<\/p>\n<p>Page 399 also has two sets of videogame figures: Jazwares' <b>Mortal Kombat<\/b> and NECA's <b>Gears of War 3<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>Want a <b>Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man<\/b> to go with your Ghostbusters toys? Got $110 to spend? Then go to page 432 to find the 8&#189;' tall inflatable version. At last, he'll be in-scale with the figures!<\/p>\n<p>And back in the dvd section, page 452 has <b>MASK: The Complete Series<\/b> available, supposedly \"uncut and complete.\"<\/p>\n<div class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Posts\"><H5>&lt;i&gt;And now, some more OAFEry:&lt;\/i&gt;<\/H5><ul class=\"entry-meta\"><li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"Brilliant Star Wars display\" href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/2025\/02\/brilliant-star-wars-display\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Brilliant Star Wars display<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"Transformers Tuesday: Where's my Megatron?!\" href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/2007\/10\/transformers-tuesday-wheres-my-megatron\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Transformers Tuesday: Where's my Megatron?!<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"Transformers Monsterbots\" href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/2012\/10\/transformers-monsterbots\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Transformers Monsterbots<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"A different kind of \"vintage\" Darth Maul\" href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/2012\/05\/a-different-kind-of-vintage-darth-maul\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">A different kind of \"vintage\" Darth Maul<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"Walking Dead Mystery Minis: Tongue Walker review\" href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/2018\/10\/walking-dead-mystery-minis-tongue-walker-review\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Walking Dead Mystery Minis: Tongue Walker review<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It's time once again to thumb through the toy section of this month's Previews, and see what goodies we can uncover.
