This month's Previews catalog has listings for Sea Ghost, Spider-Man set, Batman '66 Series 2, Wonder Woman, Neca Friday 13th Part 2 Jason, Scream Ghost Face, Iron Maden Mummy Eddie, and Kiss Series 6!

Excellent! I must have missed Military Eddie. Too bad Diamond doesnt put out a digital copy of Previews :/

Awesome that Sea Ghost made it into Previews!

Waiting for my Sea Ghost figures. Loved that sculpt from the day I saw the prototype.

[GaryPlaysWithDolls]

yeah, Sea Ghost looks awesome. Who'd of thought a sea horse would make a cool superhero logo?

I've never heard back from Cap'n Eli productions about Sea Ghost...I thought it was set for June?

[ODBJBG]

I heard Jay on a podcast say there was a delay and it would likely be closer to Fall.

Thanks!

Previews is a fun magazine, but it's not really much of an indicator as to what local comic shops will stock. We have two fairly sizable comic shops in my area - one only stocks gaming product, and the other stocks second hand figures along with some newer product. But their selective based on what they think can sell. Online interests seldom translate into popular sales at comic stores since they have to typically price it higher and have a very region specific base of consumers.

I love Previews just to have a look at all the cool stuff coming out. They really should let folks download for free, though. I could see a lot more business coming that way. I have two shops that I frequent and neither got the Batman 66 figures. But, my comic store has a new display exclusively for Retro Figures, but not sure what the criteria is for getting them in there. They have various monsters in a horror section, two Cylons in an independent section, some Happy Days figures in another section, and Sheldon from Big Bang under the counter. I know my comic store has to buy some things by the case so that can be the deciding factor on whether they get them in or not. I pre-ordered Batman 66 series 2 and the Sea Ghost but both depend on what the case sizes are (the owner wasnt there so I have to see if he wants to split a case with me).

Previews for me is an order catalog. It's my Consumers Distributing and Sears Wish Book. Every month I look at all the lovely temptations and then I tell my "local used paperback book store that also happens to carry comics, sorta but not really and not with any real effort" (LUPBSTAHTCC for short) what I want ordered in.

The fact that there is some Mego sized love is fantastic. Now we just have to hope that Diamond ships before a line is canceled as I am STILL waiting for some of the Dr Who product I preordered
