Give your Mattel prediction: Will they make a Hawkman?

[bobws]

I say sometime between year 2 and 3 we'll see a Hawkman. he was in superfriends and therefore he'll in the top wanted character list.

[The Bat]

The material approach is likely the way to go here, and a wire along the upper edge works great for posability.

The problem is the package, and Mattel will not make a figure that does not fit in a standard package (they apparently never saw Toy Biz use larger blisters for larger figures ). THey've used that as a reason they couldn't make certain figures more than once. If the wings could fold over and still fit in a standard blister, Hawkman would be a possibility. If not, I don't know how much of a chance we'd have to get him.

Welcome Back Scott!! It's good to see you here Buddy! You & Charlie Flatt the reason I started Customizing.

Anyone here ever own the "clash of the titans" pegasus mattel did? I always wanted wings fastened like that on a mego for hawkman. they could be nicely placed behind him detached.

[trekman101]

Material and wire wings or thin molded plastic wings are the best ways to go....I think it wouldn't be hard for Mattel to do at all.

[PNGwynne]

an alternate, later-mego idea would be a flat but hard plastic one-piece pair of wings with a span as wide as the figure is tall... (thinking thicker but almost vacu-formed or "stamped" in appearance... maybe .5mm thick sculpt. Like a surfboard in shape) then the part could be packed behind the figure in the clamshell and simply attach to a peg or such on the harness back.

This is what I'm envisioning, too. It worked for GA's backpack-quiver...

I like the Doc Mego wings.....I already have a great custom Hawkman because of him.....

I'd like to see one made just put him on a reEnforced Larger blister card.....

[Colf72]

I would really do hope they make a Hawkman. I would think it would have to be an exclusive ala Green Arrow. Hopefully if/when they do make it they have all the glitches ironed out as I wouldn't think swapping bodies would work as well on a figure with huge winge...

[SlipperyLilSuckers]

I think they will, and I sure hope they do.

[thunderbolt]

My Magic 8 Ball is telling me, "My sources say no".

Amazing prediction.

[livnxxxl]

Just saying IF it was to happen.....For the sake of getting in a nice set of wings why not make him as an exclusive and offer him in a box instead of a blister? Removeable cowl would be very doable and a very nice added touch as well since they already did a RC Batman.

[Cosmicman]

I could care less if they made a Hawkman. "Back in the day" before the c&D when Dr. Mego was making/selling customs. I got a cool looking head, wings and suit and it has been the best looking custom out of all of them. If they could reproduce that in Mattel format that would rock.

[drogge]

A Hawkman would certainly help make a great JLA set, but unless Mattel can be convinced to keep the line alive said figure is not going to happen, in my opinion. I am getting eager for Comic Con. I have put my feelings of disappointment aside until I see what happens, time will tell. Just under a month...

[Wolverine1969]

I would love to see remaining Challenge of the Superfriends characters.

[VintageMike]

My gut feeling is no. Unless it's already made, I would see them wanting to do the "big characters" still in the Q, like Robin and Joker before Hawkman if anything furthur is released. Just my opinion.

[GaryPlaysWithDolls]

Doubt it seriously. Would be cool, but doubt it.
