Scared To Buy A Falcon

[UOBob]

Ok, I've never owned a Falcon before and I have questions about the wings on his costume. I can't find a real nice and detailed pic of what the fringe of the wings are supposed to look like. I'm scared to buy one off Ebay, because all the wing fringes look freyed and messed up to me. Could someone post/send to me/direct me to a clear, big photo of what a minty Falcon wing fringe should look like?

Did you look at the one in the gallery?

Yeah, I was hoping there was a more giant pic somewhere. I'm still not clear on exactly where each wing is attached to the bodysuit and I'm hoping to find a more close-up, detailed shot of the wing edges.

Look in the new MEGO book that is out, it has a lot of great pics of the figures.

The wife told me not to buy it :(

This can only mean that it's going to be a gift from her for my Birthday or Christmas. I REALLY hope it's Christmas cause my bday ain't till April!!

The wings are sewn to the arms of the body suit, and then again to the snap at the top of the back of the outfit. They consist of unhemmed felt, so it's probably easy for them to get a bit freyed or rough along some parts of the edges. I have a Falcon which while not absolutely mint, is unplayed with, and even he has some slight freying on some of the wing edges (the figure pictured in Benjamin's book looks to have almost unfreyed wings though. It's a really nice specimen).

I don't know. it could mean you have not been good this year, maybe lumps of coals for you!!!

I am about 99% sure mine is under the tree. the clues are all there; Barnes & Noble $60 purchase on the books, wife took off with a BnN bag with large book in it, and a large shirt size box that weighs way too much to be a shirt.
