Hawkman - Version 1 Wings

Actually in production, wings are very easy. They can hollow blow
molds like a boot. Look at all the Christmas angels out there.

Unfortunately it is hard to find angels in the right scale - even in
a store that is Christmas 365 days.

That is great. Excellent paintjob.

The complexity of needing to make simplistic, cheap toy wings explains exactly why Hawkman and Angel would never be at the top of the list in the 70's.

I'm sure you're right, but I was thinking of it from where they - Mego - were in '78.

How many characters can wings be applied to? Will it effect the box size? Will it change weight and freight? All the other things you know, like tooling, etc...

I've always felt that Flash Gordon came three years too late. That it would take a movie tie-in character like Vultan to justify the cost.
