    I get the idea behind the material. It's a plausible approach. My only issue is that the design is so cartoon 'flat" compared to the figure. I think it would work if the wings were based on a retro wing design.

    For example, Vultan's wings from 1979

    I have problems seeing the newsletter. Don't know if it is my computer. I don't get any pics at all. Any suggestions?

    My concern is how they attach. Is it sewn on or detachable from the harness or suit...

    The molded plastic wing "backpack" sounds like a perfect idea w/the "clothing item becomes organic item/unique for Mego characters non-organic item" with the new accessory ala the Cowardly Lions's feet et al... I would've went with the backpack or silk-screened wings with bendy wire circumference attached or inside.

    The cardboard is okay... but maybe over the line of visually off-putting... yes, even for something made in a "retro" style.

    I like 'em.

    I think it's also possible that Mego might have done "backpack" molded wings as the quality and detail of the WGSH progressed.

    Yeah, I'm not feeling it. I get the intent, but the effect is just to chintzy looking. Especially at $30, and also because the rest of the figure is spot on.

    Sounds really crappy and not what Mego would have done!

    I think this wing design is prefect, totally retro and most likely the way Mego would have done. Thank you FTC, great job!

    Yikes. It never occurred to me that they would use plastic covered cardboard for wings. Disaster.
