    DC Super Friends Hawkman

    So, here's the word on why he's cancelled-yet-appearing-here-and-there:

    from Mattel Q & A

    Cool Toy Review: What is the final word on Super Friends Hawkman and the rest of the line including Robin & the Joker? Cyborg has starting appearing at Targets in new packaging. But, on the the back of the package it says Hawkman is cancelled. Also, Cyborg & Hawkman are now appearing at Rite-Aids stores in limited supply in the old packaging.

    Mattel: The US actually made a change to toy safety laws in 2009 which made Hawkman off limits in 2009 due to the shape of his mace (being similar to a lollypop). That is why he had to be removed from the 2009 shipments. The figures you are seeing in Rite Aides are the 2008 release which was shipped before the new law went into effect. We hope this clears it up. If there is enough retail interest in late 2009 and going forward to continue the Superfriends line in 6” scale we will look into releasing Hawkman without his mace or with a different weapon.
    So, it looks like Rite-Aid is the place to look for these. We don't have any near where I live, so if anyone spots an extra and can snag it for me, I'd appreciate it!

      Someone around here posted a pic on an earlier thread . . . it's the modern red and green look, similar to what Robin looked like on "The Batman" or on the Cartoon Network "Teen Titans" show.

        Thanks for the tip Pat. We used to have Rite Aids, I'll see if I can find any.

              Thanks for the heads up. I've been looking for this figure. I guess I start checking Rite- Aid.
