    Super Friends Cyborg and Hawkman - anyone ever see them?

    Tese were supposed to be out, and I only ever saw a few trickle out to eBay. Did they ever show up stateside, and has anyone ever seen them at retail? I managed to get most of them, but those two never materialized...

    I have never scene them in retail,.. & the Line has been pulled Long ago up here... Maybe last X-mas long... I had to score the Aquaman Sub on Ebay..

    I know Enertainment earth had a pre-Order for them, way back in like July... I think it's gone now..

    I expect the Toys to show up at Big Lots or something,.. & will become something I never See.

        This was such a great line. I think it is MUCH better than the "imaginext" toys that replaced it. Must agree with the others, Never seen Hawkman, Cyborg or the Red Batman anywhere except eBay. We also had tons of the Aquaman/Shark sub sets on the east coast, but they disappeared for the holidays. BUT, I did see two new boxsets from the line on the shelf on the day after Christmas. So, there might be hope yet. Target had the new sets. Flash comes with a recolored version of the boxed glider vehicle and Batman comes with recolored Quad racer vehicle. There're ok if you didn't get the vehicles the first time around. The really sharp part is on the side of the package. Pictured are the figures as well as a Robin, the boy wonder figure. He looks like he was supposed to come with some kind of boomarang glider looking thing to ride on. Keep your fingers crossed!

          Robin and Joker were shown at SDCC I believe. They looked very similar to the Imaginext versions of both. I haven't seen any new SF figures in MONTHS. Target seems to be the only place consistently stocking these near me now. No Wal-Marts, and not even TRU. And all I ever see are Supes, Bats and the occasional Flash. Never Luthor, Aquaman, and certainly not GL.

          I like the Imaginext stuff (and my son likes it better) but I don't see why these can't co-exist. I blame it on Mattel's horrible distribution and over-shipping of one wave again.

            I've looked everywhere. I don't think they hit the US. All the Ebay sales I saw were Int'l. Too bad, great line. My son loves to play with them with his Spidey & Friends and Rescue/Planet Heroes.

            I think the Imaginext heroes may have run its course already as well. We couldn't find Superman, and my wife called the company twice and they indicated they weren't making anymore. They have mostly dried up around here except for the Batman commons.

              Don't give up on Superman- I've seen him locally here as recent as a week or so ago, I think at Target.

                I haven't seen them either. Just the Aquasub. I did find the Batwing for $7.00 @ Wal-mart in October.

                  I was lucky enough to find hawkman at retail but not cyborg. I got him off ebay. My godson loves these. I found the sub at target for him. It's a shame their gone. One of the best set of figures in a long time.

                  I like them so much more for the kids than the small JLU one's.

                    Has the line actually been canceled? There's a new Flash & Batman vehicle assortment showing up at the local Targets.

                      ^ Yup I just saw the Flash Sky Glider (or whatever) and the Batman Quad at Target yesterday. I'm content with finally getting the AquaSub so I passed on those.

                        I found the Imaginext Mr. Freeze yesterday for my son, but other than the Target vehicles you guys mentioned, I didn't even see any peg space for the larger SF figures.

                          So jemboy found a Hawkman. That's great news - I didn't think any were going to make it over here.

                          Meijer clearanced the last few of the big Superman that they had. I haven't seen anything else on the shelves, not even empty pegs. I'll check Target again later this week.

                            I think we can forget the Hawkman. I checked Target last night, and all the boxes for the new Flash w/glider had an orange "UNAVAILABLE" sticker placed over Hawkman in the group shot of figures on the side. I'm really curious as to what happened. Cyborg wasn't pictured at all on the Flash box.

                            When I checked Ebay last night for Hawkman, I did notice that there were at least two different packaging variations. I'm guessing one was foreign and one domestic.

                              azrak, I actually found 2 of them. I got one for my godson for Xmas and I got one for me! I thought it was cool. glad I did now. I only got cyborg on ebay and I gave it to my godson. Funny thing is cyborg is his fav as it shots a ball. I got him all the one's made so far, I had to get cyborg off ebay to finish his set. I got the hawkman figures at Benny's.
