Hawk & Dove DC Universe Classics Wave 20 Action Figures

The 20th and final wave of Mattel’s popular DC Universe Classics toy line recently started showing up on store shelves and The Blot is pretty excited about picking up these Hawk and Dove action figures. I’ve always been partial to B and C-List DC Comics super heroes, and Hawk and Dove are two of my favorites! Whether it’s Hank and Don (the original Hawk and Dove) or Hank and Dawn (the modern version of the duo), I’m always excited when they show up for a cameo in a comic book or get their own mini-series or ongoing title.

With Hawk and Dove it really is feast or famine. After years of non-use, Hawk and Dove played a huge role in DC Comics’ mega events Blackest Night and Brightest Day and were even given their own ongoing title as part of the companywide New 52 reboot. They even brought in Rob Liefeld, a fan favorite who got his start on Hawk and Dove back in the 90s, to be the artist (and now writer) of the series. Then we got Hawk and Dove action figures and min-busts from DC Direct and now this! Like I said, feast or famine, but I can’t complain. I’m just glad to see Hank and Dawn relevant again in the DC Universe.

Mattel’s Hawk and Dove DC Universe Classics action figures can be purchase individually for $16.99 here at EntertainmentEarth.com or you can purchase a case of DC Universe Classics Series 20, which includes hooded Green Arrow, White Lantern Flash, Reverse Flash, Hawk, Dove, Red Arrow, Sinestro Corps Sinestro and metallic Green Lantern Hal Jordan (with Collect and Connect pieces of Nekron) for $139.99 here.

Ninja Star: Wars Series 2 Art Prints by Steve Bialik

The Blot was shocked to find out Spoke Art had released a second set of Ninja Star: Wars art prints by Steve Bialik recently! As you may remember, Ninja Star: Wars pairs together the most beloved Star Wars characters with traditional Japanese ukiyo-e inspired imagery, and The Blot loves them! Illustrator Steve Bialik has created a captivating alternate universe which reinterprets notable Star Wars characters as if they existed in feudal Japan.

The print set is comprised of four prints, and features Luke Skywalker in “Spacewalker,” Darth Vader in “Akuma,” the Ewoks in “Iwoks” and Princess Leia in “Invasion of the Death Palace.” To see the six prints that comprise Ninja Star: Wars Series 1 click here.

Each Ninja Star: Wars offset lithograph measures 11”x27”, is individually hand numbered, and has a limited edition run size of 450 prints per image. Prints can be purchased from the Spoke Art online store individually for $10 or as a complete six print set for $30.

It’s Thursday (again!), so you know what that means… time for a new release in Mondo’s Once Upon A Time Screen Print Series by Kevin Tong. This week’s print is based on the Grimm’s Fairy Tale “Rumpelstiltskin.” Not my personal favorite, but Kevin did a really nice job on all that straw!

Each Once Upon A Time 18"x24" hand numbered screen print by Kevin Tong will have a Standard Edition with metallic ink and a limited edition run size of 225 prints, plus 95 metallic Gold Variants. The Standard Edition “Rumpelstiltskin” screen print will retail for $40, while the Gold Variant will retail for $65.
