Transformers: Dark of the Moon Optimus Prime and Promotion

We’re just under four months to go before Transformers: Dark of the Moon hits theaters (on July 1), and that’s just enough time to kick off sixteen weeks of promotion for the movie and its accompanying toys. Optimus Prime, naturally, is the first figure from Dark of the Moon to hit shelves, and it will come with some glasses that will let you check out your favorite Transformers in 3D on Hasbro’s Transformers website.

DC Previews – DC Direct – On Sale in July through November

DC Direct has sent out their solicitations for March. Most of the items are scheduled to be available in stores in November. The most notable exception are the Flashpoint action figures, due in July – perhaps these were not solicited earlier to keep story plot points under wraps. I’m just glad to see more figures coming from DC Direct – the last two months of solicitations didn’t include any, and that led to some speculation, with the recent DC reorganization and consolidation to Los Angeles.

Read on for product descriptions.
