Haaaaaaaaaaaawkman !

I picked up the Hawkman figure from the Reactivated All Star Comics Super Squad wave. I'm sorry but I just couldn't get the Batman, Superman or Wonder Woman figures. I have enough of each already! But the Hawkman figure was one that I have been missing and fits in nicely with the mini Super Squad I have.

A little history now. This Hawkman is Carter Hall from the Golden Age. He adapted this yellow cowl in Flash Comics #98 (Aug 1948). It was seen in many of the early team ups of the Silver Age Justice League of America and the Golden Age Justice Society of America. In 1976 DC revived the All Star Comic series with the next number in the series #58. It presented the Super Squad which consisted of adventures on Earth-2 with that worlds Robin, Huntress and Power Girl as well as members of the Justice Society (which the above three became members of). Hawkman was the chairman of the Justice Society during this period.

Now the figure:


Packaging: Its the standard DCD package but with a nice All-Star Squad logo on the front with character decriptions on the back.

Back



























The figure has 11 POA, ball neck and shoulders, wrist joints, standard elbow, hip and knees joints. The hood is a rubbery material that fits well and moves with the head. Mine has nice paint applications. I had no problems pushing the wings into the holes in the back. They have the same amount of movement as do the ones on any other Hawkman. Sizewise he fits in nicely with most of my older DCD figures.
