Hey Yunz!
Here's an option for those customizing a Hawkman or Hawkgirl. You may or not know of fisher price's line of Rescue Heroes toys. One of the darts from a Pirates line looked pretty promising for this type of custom.

As seen in foto. I "CAREFULLY" trimmed the flanges along the shafts edge with an exacto knife. Its soft plastic and it only took several scoring's to cut through. There is a channel in the shaft that makes it easy to slip into a mego hand without fear of finger / thumb breaking. And look at the color!!! The thing just screams Mego. Like a Klingon disruptor!!!
