Who's seen Storm Hawks?

It's on Cartoon Network, Monday night @ 7:00, and I think it's the best new cartoon out there. Created by Ace Fipke of Nerd Corp, the 3-D animation has some anime influences, but remains distinctly its own while the writing is fun and witty, even dark at times.

It just premiered in May, but there are already 52 episodes in production, 8, (or maybe 9?) of which have aired already.

I'll admit that I am a known cartoon junkie and I will watch just about anything you put in front of me, but this is actually REALLY REALLY great and also the most original cartoon I've seen in years. My girlfriend likes it too and she's a pretty harsh critic. If you haven't seen it yet, we both highly reccomend it.

Spin Master has plans to release the first wave of action figures in Fall 07, and there are plans to ramp up the merchandising in 08 with games, RC vehicles and anything else you can imagine. Now, if you've ever seen Spin Master's Air Hog RC vehicles, you know that they are capable of making great toys. They also make Power Rangers and Sonic X, two properties that don't much excite me, but it looks like they did a good job with the toys.

If you want to know more, there's a great wikipedia entry with info on the Storm Hawks, the supporting cast, their planet, their vehicles, and anything else you need to know, and go watch it, DAG NABIT!
