NEWS: DC Superhero Girls

Ladies and gents, big news tonight! We are FINALLY getting a 12" Hawkgirl action doll!

Aside from Beast Boy, Hawkgirl was the only character in action figure form that did not have a matching 12" doll. She was the main character rumored to be this past July's SDCC doll, although we ended up getting Cheetah instead.

Well, now here she is!

I'm not sure when we'll be seeing her. Cheetah is getting a signature release, too, and an action figure, but neither of those have surfaced on Amazon that I know of.

Walmart does have the doll though:

Not in stock, of course, or that would have been way bigger news.

It is possible Hawkgirl could be the new Amazon exclusive, like the signature Katana they did earlier this year.

I adore the doll's face and hair. She's stunning!

Although I can see some complaints already about her torso being yellow plastic. They've never done this before on a regular-line DCSG doll, so I'm thinking the giant wings have something to do with it. Perhaps it's a design issue or as simple as cost-cutting. She does have giant plastic wings, a mask, a belt and a harness, plus boots and gauntlets. That's a lot of molded plastic pieces for one doll.

I do hope her wings are stable. My biggest complaint about the Monster High Garden Ghouls dolls is that their wings come off at the drop of a hat. Hawkgirl needs more stability than that.

I'm absolutely thrilled to see a new doll for this line. The only prospects we've had so far are signature Cheetah and her figure and the semi-lackluster Masquerade line. I hope we get an action figure Frost, too. She's the only one with a doll and no figure, aside from Blackfire, who I don't count as part of the regular line.

SO EXCITED.
