Just a heads up, there's a new show that deals with hooded heroes, one of them being an inflatable girl named Loona.

The trailer's hear under Hood.

I was praying that it wasn't animated and featured a realistic inflatable suit... but hey, this looks cool too

I was wondering when news of this would make it here. XD

The premise of this series strikes me as interesting, though I can't shake the feeling that the show is trying just a little too hard to be 'cool'. That having been said, the fact that the superpower of one of the main female characters specifically involves self-inflation is enough to pique my interest. That's definitely not the sort of thing you see very often.

I'll have to keep an eye out for this series.

The show may try a little bit 'too' hard to be cool, but compared to the other things I've seen at Disney XD it IS cool. Witty dialogue, very nice animation and art style, interesting characters...

And one VERY interesting character. Loona sounds serious and bossy, aaaand she inflates.

I liked that preview a lot. As a big Kim Possible nerd, I am a fan of the witty-teen-superhero thing -- this looks fun. And I am really happy to see that they did not make the inflatable girl a fat chick to begin with -- I call that Chuck Taine Syndrome.

Based on this sample reel, is it being pitched to a network, or has it been picked up? This looks like it's the animation studio's reel.

All I can say is thank God they finally choose a female character to have a prominent inflation power.

Usually that's the thing they reserve for the joke male characters, anyone remember the "blowfish guy" from The Tick?

Like everyone else, I'm really looking forward to this one :D

Teletoon has been in dcevelopment with the show since 2009. No date yet, but I heard Disney XD UK has recently joined the production as well.

Nice cartoon concept. I like it, but I probably wouldn't watch it for the inflation.

Finally! I was waiting for a show involving an inflatable character!

Maybe it's Hurricane Harry's Daughter...

What did you guys think of the "does this make me look fat" comment/joke?

Wow, she's even called "Loona".

I also note the character "Parker". Not just because it's a clever play on "parkour", but it reminds me of "Producing Parker", and the epic inflation scene in the first episode. I haven't been following the series, but have there been any further inflation incidents?

I wonder why she seems to be the leader. I mean, Jesus, if I had some sort of electrical power or whatever sort of supergymnastics the Parker character has, the last hero I'd take orders from would be the one who can just inflate like a balloon.

Maybe it's just cause she's the tallest.

It's been a long time since I've posted but this has definitely caught my interest. Good animation for a TV show-sure does finally break the mold of all that motion-tweened Flash stuff that's been out...and Loona has definitely interested me..I can't tell from the trailer but is that her suit inflating or her? If it's her suit-I'm even MORE interested. :D

I heard this show is still in production. They have been taking a while to get it finished.

It's...it's...it's a miracle! A dream come true! How long have we been waiting for a character like this in a place which wasn't in our mind?

LittlePumpkin

Exactly what I thought. :D
Can't wait until it's on tv!

WendigoSkin

When is it to be aired?

Sticky site lover

Well, since I couldn't get it to upload to the gallery, here's a new piece of Loona fanart: https://www.deviantart.com/servomoore/art/Problematic-Superhero-Combos-By-Kokamugithu-821238319
