    Need Advice Regarding Hawkman's Wings

    Although I'm loving my FTC Hawkman, I am having trouble keeping the wings on the figure. The adhesive on the figure barely holds the wings. I was pondering on whether or not to use super glue. Does anybody have any suggestions? Inquiring mind wants to know.

    from what I recall, when I got mine, it is Velcro that holds the wings on, not adhesive. try brushing the Velcro in one direction with your finger, maybe that will open it up enough for the other side to stick on

      Many thanks. Velcro was the word I was looking for. I only thought of super glue because I want the wings to stay in there permanently. The wings stay in place if the figure is still in its place on the shelf, but they love to fall out when I want to move or pose the figure.

            Good luck. For a figure with wings, FTC's Hawkman will NEVER fly.

              I actually used a small wood screw through the wings into the back of the figure. Seems nice and sturdy. Just get a screw long enough so it doesn't go into the soft wings too far for the best hold.

                What did you use for the harness? I'm still trying to kitbash the best Hawkman figure to my liking.

                Thanks!

                  I reused a harness from a dc 9” Martian man hunter figure. I primed it and painted it yellow and shortened it up a little. The sticker was from lasermego.5B1A7397-F853-46C6-A845-7A8936C6FEF7.jpg
