Well here is a welcome addition to the Justice League Unlimited line – Hawkman. Now you can recreate your favorite love triangle with Hawkman, Hawkgirl, and Green Lantern, or you can go the other way with Green Lantern, Hawkgirl, and Vixen (with Hawkman standing stoically in the corner while his mace gently weeps).
The only downside I see to Hawkman is the figure uses the same body and wings as Winged Amazo, with the head being the only new item – well, there is the paint job dealie too.
Hawkman comes as part of a 3-pack featuring Rocket Red and Justice Lords Flash, although the package calls him Alt. The Flash. And come to think of it, Justice Lord Flash really isn’t correct because he was a creation of Braniac/Lex in the two part series.
Hawkman should appear in stores, and by stores I mean stores that are not Wal-Mart, on July 26.

Variety is reporting the toy company Mattel has made a deal with Warner Bros. to become the official toy maker for DC Comics.
But the new multi-year deal makes Mattel the master toy licensee for the complete DC portfolio, which includes characters such as Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, the Joker, the Flash, Green Lantern, Aquaman, Green Arrow and Justice League.
What is really cool about this deal, is it not only includes current and future films and properties, but also DC items from the past. Since Mattel already has the Justice League line, let’s hope this new deal will allow them to create animated versions of future characters, like the surprise Comedian character that appeared on this site recently.
Mattel says they will also create a DC Superheroes section in retailer’s toy aisles. Unfortunately, the town I live in doesn’t have a Target and I’m forced to shop at that god-awful Wal-mart which tends to avoid most cool Mattel toys.
I love Justice League Unlimited, and I’ve been heavily collecting the JL/JLU action figures since they were first released. Unfortunately, it is hard to nail down exactly what figures Mattel plans on releasing next, unless you attend one of the major cons or if you head over to Action Figure Insider.
The 2007 wave is already underway with some of the figures already in stores (but not Wal-Mart). Action Figure Insider has a breakdown of all the 3-packs including Sandman, the recently deceased Lightray, huntress, Star Sapphire and more!

Well poop. Like I said earlier, I’m not going to make it to the San Diego Comic Con this year. If you have never been it is a blast, especially with all the scrambling for exclusive items. While trollling through the Comic Con website, I found the list of exclusives, and I’m really bummed about not being able to get the JLU 3-pack featuring The Ray. The $20 exclusive also features the unmasked Shayera Hol.
I guarantee I won’t be paying $20.00 for this on eBay as the price will surely shoot up to $60 before the end of the con.
Best gets better on DVD
While The Justice League had an awesome run on Cartoon Network, it wasn’t until Justice League Unlimited debuted that we really saw what an ensemble series could really do. Season One is out on DVD now, and is simply incredible.
If you have already burned through your copies of the Justice League on DVD and are anxiously awaiting news of the Justice League Unlimited release here it is. Warner has officially announced the date of October 24, 2006 for fans to pick up the 26 episode DVD collection. 26 episodes? That’s right spoilers ahead…
