NEWS: DC Superhero Girls


A few exciting things to report and speculate on for DC Superhero Girls!

They are currently running a fabulous giveaway here:

And in the image featuring all the products, you can see the above six vinyl figures. We'd previously only seen Wonder Woman, Bumblebee and Harley at SDCC. I think Katana and Supergirl are my favorites.

Target.com has some new products available for order.

There's the Wonder Woman doll and invisible jet set:

A Wonder Woman pillow doll plush:

And a smaller Wonder Woman plush that comes with a blanket:

I ordered this one, since she looks cuter than the big one and I can always use an extra blanket.

There are also two separate blankets:

It's also time to speculate who you think will be part of Wave 2 of the action dolls! We know Starfire will get a doll and Katana an action figure, so I think it's safe to say we'll have an action figure Starfire and regular non-SDCC Katana doll, too.

If you visit the DCSG website, you'll see four new characters added to the Meet the Heroes section. Starfire is there, along with Hawkgirl, Frost and Beast Boy! Hawkgirl and Frost have recently been featured as Hero of the Month, so I won't be surprised if Beast Boy is up next. These five could be our Wave 2 dolls, but then who is the sixth? The initial line-up was sold in two cases of three. The core case was one each of Wonder Woman, Supergirl and Batgirl, and the non-core case was one each of Harley, Ivy and Bumblebee. So who will get the sixth spot? Or will we perhaps get 2 Katanas in one case, since she was very obviously left out of the initial wave, despite being a major part of the line everywhere else?

Only time will tell, but it's fun to guess. Personally, I'm hoping for Miss Martian to get the sixth spot, with a 2-pack of Lady Shiva and Big Barda also being sold, but that's me dreaming!  

I'll be back with more news as it rolls in. DCSG is my current favorite playline, so I'm very excited to see promos of these. Especially Frost!
