Any tips for Hawkman?

Pulled some wings off a Christmas angel. I usually scope em out after the holidays in the clearance bins. Bet the dollar stores have some angels that might have wings ya could clip.

& Double BTW... Doc's Wings are so Light Base,.. that you could Probably use some super Glue or Crazy Glue & Glue them into Place with what ever you are using for the Straps across his Chest... Might I suggest some Vinyl or even craft foam ?. The Glue probably won't hold with electrical Tape.

Doc's wings are made outta Foam. They are Fantastic if you are going for the "MegoEsque" look.

If you want something More... Russ has some Resin Wings.
Or StarBuck has some Silicone Wings.

Or if you have that DC Direct ED Mcgunisses HawkMan just lying around collecting Dust... His wings are fantastic for the scale too imo.

BTW... I screw will attach all the Wings described in my Post. It's painless.

I think most of the wings out there are made to be permanantly attached. I believe they are designed for a one or two screw placement in the back. For that figure, I'd definitely use boot feet or put something with some weight into the boots as the wings will throw it's balance off and make it difficult to display.

BTW, I've got three Hawkman heads available, two are painted already. Let me know if you have a need in that department.

You could make them part of the harness and use something like the Mego belts for the harness straps so they can be unhooked.

I was thinking about that or maybe some stretch string.

Don't fly in front of a jet engine.
Preening not only adds luster but can also help weather proof your wings.
Regular maintainance of your ancient weapons will keep them from rusting.
You might want to keep on eye on Hawkgirl. She and Roy seem to be getting a bit close (if you know what I mean).
and
Put a freakin shirt on. We can see your nipples.

I'm moving on to customizing a Hawkman for my Mego collection. He'll probably be my last JLAer unless I move on to the heroines. My dilemma is what to do about Hawkman's wings. I've see that Doc sells "spongy" wings. Does anybody have those and could you describe the "spongy" to me? I'm afraid that those may be a little fragile. I've seen another member with hard wings and I think those might be a better fit. But my dilemma is: is there a way that the wings can be attached & removed (like a backpack) without being a permanent fixture on Hawkman?
