    Introducing the Winged Wonder... Hawkman!!


    I am starting to lean back towards the Silver Age with my figures, so Hawkman was in need of a rework. I wanted to keep trying to do removable masks or helmets, so I tried one for Katar and it worked! Helmet base is a Real Heroes SWAT helmet with magic sculpt and craft foam. Harness is the one leftover from the last figure, new emblem, new mace and weapon belt. Wings are felt with wire for posing and folding up so he can hang out at the JLA cave.
    Based him off the first few appearances in Brave and the Bold:

                This might be one of the most comic accurate figures straight from the source material. I was expecting something steampunkish, maybe pulpish 30's kida stuff and I was pleasantly surprised by a more traditional take on a character that's hard to get right. Terrific.
                I almost had a psychic girlfriend but she dumped me before we met.

                If anyone here believes in psychokinesis, please raise my hand.

                  I love the overall look of this guy. Not 100% sold on the wings, honestly, but the helmet and the rest of the costume is crazy good.

                    Thanks all.
                    sprytel- I went the cloth wing route because I was tired of non poseable plastic wings that were too top heavy to get the figure to stand on his own or cause him to take up too much space.

                            Yeah, it is an interesting creative choice and I like your concept a lot... I wasn't trying to be a jerk. Sorry if my comment came off the wrong way.

                              not at all, as of now it the best solution I can come up with. Thanks again.
