Yikes. It never occurred to me that they would use plastic covered cardboard for wings. Disaster.

Well, I guess this is what Hawkman's wings will look like....

I think it's also possible that Mego might have done "backpack" molded wings as the quality and detail of the WGSH progressed.WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.Comment

The molded plastic wing "backpack" sounds like a perfect idea w/the "clothing item becomes organic item/unique for Mego characters non-organic item" with the new accessory ala the Cowardly Lions's feet et al... I would've went with the backpack or silk-screened wings with bendy wire circumference attached or inside.
The cardboard is okay... but maybe over the line of visually off-putting... yes, even for something made in a "retro" style."No. No no no no no no. You done got me talkin' politics. I didn't wanna'. Like I said y'all, I'm just happy to be alive. I think I'll scoot over here right by this winda', let this beautiful carriage rock me to sleep, and dream about how lucky I am." - Chris MannixComment

I have problems seeing the newsletter. Don't know if it is my computer. I don't get any pics at all. Any suggestions?Comment

I get the idea behind the material. It's a plausible approach. My only issue is that the design is so cartoon 'flat" compared to the figure. I think it would work if the wings were based on a retro wing design.
For example, Vultan's wings from 1979

Mego had some beautifully-rendered accessories: Green Arrow, Knights, Flash Gordon, Conan. So while I don't hate these wings, I will change them and I can understand why some fans are disappointed by the approach FTC has chosen.
I love Mego cardboard playsets, but I guess I expect/prefer my accessories to be plastic.WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.Comment
