Any tips for Hawkman?

[Captain]

My Hawkman custom has a set of "flying" outstretched wings, and then I use Doc's for the just standing around version. I had made a harness for each set, but came up with a better solution. I know use velcro tape to hold the wings on. It makes for quick and easy wing changes, and is super simple to do.

This solution might work for you....if you dont like the wings you use initially, you can always rip em off and velcro on a new set.

Hey that's a nice custom! The helmet looks really neat!

Does anyone sell removable masks for Hawkman and Hawkgirl?

My first thought was to use SuperPowers Hawkman wings. But they are smallish & I'm saving them for my Flying Monkey.

I like Doc's wings, style-wise. And the wings on the DC Direct JLA Hawkgirl are perfect!

Random Axe, I'd like to see Hawk-head pix, too. I'm undecided" I've seen nice ones from Leitner, Doc, & Reproheads.

I never even thought of a RM Hawkman! That's cool looking.

I came across maces over at Doc's site.

^^^ Thats Probably the Most Megoesque HawkMan that I have ever scene Chris... Hats off. Love the Helmet too.

In my attempt to do what Mego probably would have, I used smaller wings. I got them from a Polar Lights reissue of Aurora monster accessory kit. They were meant to go on a vulture model.

I saw some light weight wings at Michael's. They were in the doll section. I was thinking about using them for the Flying Monkey custom I made. What's nice about them is that they could fold together and become hidden behind his back.

Hmm. I think that I may still have that set in my attic.

If not, here's a loose one. Not too bad on the price when you consider what a resin set costs.

Stay away from any kind of feline. Big, medium or small, they see things with feathers as food.

Be on the lookout for low flying airplanes, helicopters and witches on brooms.

Always check your wings for fleas, ticks and mites. They make the feathers itch like heck, and carry diseases. You don't want to catch Lyme disease.

Got one more suggestion. If its still around on ebay, the old Toybiz XMen original team box set comes with wings that are removable, jointed and bendy.

Got one more suggestion. If its still around on ebay, the old Toybiz XMen original team box set comes with wings that are removable, jointed and bendy. They are on my Hawkman, that I am currently eyeing up for a revamp.

[Action Martin]

I think most of the wings out there are made to be permanantly attached.

That's probably the best solution. But I have JLA member chairs and Hawkman wouldn't be able to sit down and chat with his buddies

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

Pics?

Also, the Marvel Legends Angel wings are perfect for Mego or 9 inch and are very durable.

Don't go flying too close to power lines, windmill towers or barbed wire fences. They are dangerous.

I have some of Russ's resin ones and they are cool. The weight isn't a major factor. I used styrene rods to attach them, but I'm not sure about the removable options. Also mine is fine for display and posing but it wouldn't stand up to the average kid playing with it.
