fwiw, I think yours look great. mego shmego!
mount them a touch lower and they will be killer.

That Hawkman is awesome Mike! Did you do the outfit? I think it will look great either way, but i'm leaning more toward the foam because of the depth. If you could fashion a way to have them open and close, i think you would have a winner!

The foam wings are perfect! Anything else don't look right (not bagging on your design...looks cool) I have a white set on my Angel figure also. Easy to attach to a Mego.
Jerry68, I have a kick *** mace that would look a lot better with that Hawkman. It's big and bulky. PM me if you want it.

This is mine. I like the foam wings for the same reason you mentioned. You could very carefully cut the foam wings through the center and make a pin, similar to your design. Best of both worlds.

I like your wings. I'd just mount them lower on his body and perhaps hid the pins with your sticker stuff. Some Archangel ones would be killer.

I've been trying to finish up this Superfriends Hawkman. Austin made me this incredible Hawkman head - it's truly beautiful - and the body is a Doc Mego swivel arm version. I just can't decide which wings to use. I've posted pics of the two versions of wings I'm debating using. Feel free to let me know which you think would work the best and maybe what Mego would've done.


The first set of wings is from Dr. Mego. The Doc foam wings have some great depth and look realistic. The only problem is that they don't open and close.

The next wings are my creation and are cut out of acrylic plastic. I designed a feather pattern on paper and spraymounted it onto the acrylic - like a sticker. The gold rivet is temporary until I find a silver one. I like the look of the wings and how they swivel out to fly, but I'm unsure about the flatness of them when attached to the body.
