    Green Arrow's bow

    I noticed there are two versions of the bow for Green Arrow. One has the arrow in the center of the bow and now it is at the bottom notch. It looked better before. Now it looks totally stupid. Why would they change it to look worse? Sucks worse than just having the arrow attached. Now it is attached off center and wouldn't shoot right. Some master of the bow he is...

    In my opionion, I really believe, that the idea of that boxing glove arrow looks very stupid. I stil say it should have been made with using a clip on removable arrow. i know dr mego said it has something to do with it being used as a projecile weapon, however, I do not see how that can be , they could have kept the bow as is all plastice and made the arroe tip removable and give us 2 other types of arroe heads. does that not make sense. Feed BAck Guys what ya think??

      I agree. If Mattel could not do the arrow because of safety reasons, they should have just left the arrow/boxing glove off like with the classic MEGO Green Arrow. It does not have to be on there!

        I like the boxing glove arrow. Green Arrow was so identified with his trick arrows back in the 70's I can see what they were after with it. Yes, I wish it was more centered, but I do like the idea.

        Regardless of weather we like it or not what's done is done. It's Mattels decision. Bring on Wave 1.

          Does it matter ?

            I think trick arrows, and I think of the boxing glove. You want a regular one, there's plenty of repro's to be had (heck, they are almost vintage now anyways).

              Guy, let's face it. No matter what's on the tip of the arrow, this is a dream come true. New WGSHs !!!! I mean come on... we never thought this would ever happen. Let's just hope sales motivate marvel to follow suit.

                Hey Krypto, you need a sky is falling cartoon too.
                You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

                      The boxing glove arrow looks cool to me, that's a part of this I actually don't have a problem with.
                      But removable arrow heads? Are you kidding me? No, that doesn't make sense at all.

                        Actually, as the arrow is part of the bow, it doesn't matter what kind of tip it has on.

                        And come to think of it: the FC Hawkeye has several loose arrows and a functioning bow.

                          What is wrong with the Boxing Glove? That's what he used back in the day. It looks cool and I'm happy to have it.

                            At first I disliked the Boxing glove arrow, but as I've watched Batman, the Brave and the Bold, I realized how Green Arrow does use the trick arrows. So now I'm looking fowd to getting one, and hoping I can get 2 so my daughter can get one.

                              As I understood it, the arrow wasn't the "DANGER", it was the slight chance a child could use the bow to somehow launch a projectile. "You'll put yer eye out"
                              I like the new bow and am just waiting for the day I can put one of these guys on my shelf. next mego meet as long as Paul is there I'll get a repro old school bow to keep along side so I can pose him either way.
                              YEAH Paul and YEAH Mattel.
