Starcrossed Hawkgirl

This Hawkgirl belongs to my daughter. I bought her the set when I found it on discount at Ross a couple months ago. It's a great set and included Hro Talak and a couple more of his Hawkworld cronies, as well as Batman I think. They're all in my daughter's superhero toy bag.

Two of my daughters first superhero toys were the original Justice League animated Wonder Woman and Hawkgirl which I gave her when she was less than 2, so getting this set for her was pretty neat for me even though her superhero collection has grown exponentially since then.

The Hawks have a pretty convoluted history. I know the original Golden Age concept, and I read Hawkworld in the nineties, and now Hawkman has been on Smallville and of course the Thanagarian version of Hawkgirl was prominent on the Justice League cartoon. I gotta admit, it's pretty tough trying to explain the Earth Hawks and the Thanagar Hawks to an eight year old - one of the many challenges to parenting in the modern world!

Hawkgirls Just Wanna Have Fun

Hawkgirl is a great character who really came into her own during the Justice League cartoon from a few years back. She is also a classic Golden Age JSA member. Finally, I have the DCUC Hawkman, so all that together made this DCUC figure one of my must haves, even as I decide to move away from really pursuing the line. Amazingly I found Hawkgirl at Target a couple weeks ago, so of course I snatched her up!

Hawkgirl comes with three weapons, a mace, a sword and a spear.

Her mask and hair make it impossible to move her head, but that's okay, because they did a great job capturing her classic look.

The weapons are all unique to Hawkgirl. That's a cool touch, as I expected at least the mace or sword to be repaints from Hawkman's release.

With the nineties Superboy coming soon from DCUC, I am going to get him to complete my 'Reign of Supermen.' I also want to get more JSA members as they trickle in. With Hawkgirl here, a John Stewart GL is a definite must too. But I swear, after all that, I'm out of DCUC collecting for good ;)
