Who else should have a Removable Mask?

[samurainoir]

So Batman is getting a Removable Mask, and Black Manta is not.

Would you like to see Robin with a removable mask or one that is part of the head-sculpt? How about Batgirl?

Would you prefer Hawkman and Hawkgirl to have Removable Masks? Dr Fate? Flash? Black Vulcan? Scarecrow? Riddler? Atom? Plastic Man? Hourman?

The problem with removable masks is that, IMO, the head looks worse for it. Unless they can do something clever like having a stick-on molded mask with something like Post-It Note multi-use adhesive.

In the absence of that, I think the only figures that could get away with removable helmets and still look decent would probably be Dr. Fate and the Hawks.

Even then I'd worry that the size that the masks/helms would have to be to make them both removable and sturdy would make the costumed figure look like they had an oversized head.

Barring that, I'd almost rather have Matty Exclusive secret Identity heads/outfits for each masked hero released. Of course, since the heads aren't officially removable, I doubt we'll see that.

I hope that Robin comes with a removable mask. I'd really get more jacked up about that than I am already if that's possible. I'd also like to see Batgirl and Catwoman come with removable cowls...and as far as the clunky-ness to the heads...fine with me!

Removable masks and cowls are kind of a waste.

All they do is make the figure look more junkie

I am totally of this ^^^ mind...
HOWEVER, being old-time Internet Megoers,
we've been around the "RC BATMAN" bunch...
and I'm sure, like me, you can imagine there's a lot of nostalgia that doesn't have anything particularly to do with the figure's "image" unto itself, ya know?

Personally, I hope there's NO more RC characters AND I also think it's
a shame that Mattel BATMAN (apparently) will not have a
"molded cowl" version like Mego did, as I feel a great
"Neal Adamsy" sculpt is being potentially ignored by doing so.

I just want an official Plastic Man! If the Riddler is fashioned after the 66 TV show at all then his mask should be removable.

I hate removable masks. I think Batman looks bad with it. Flash and Green Lantern won't have removable masks so why do Batman and Robin need it?
The girls (especially Catwoman,Batgirl and Hawkgirl) may need removable masks if Mattel uses rooted hair and that I understand. Hawkman may even be o.k. because his is more of a helmet. I just always liked Batman best (Mego version) with the painted on mask. Mattel should at least offer both versions like Mego did for those of us who don't want a big fat head Batman figure.

I like junkie mask!

Who else? NO ONE.

Removable masks should be outlawed if this is the best they can do. This makes the Mego RC Batman look like a masterpiece in design. Horrid... Okay, time to wait for Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers. Those companies CARE what their figures look like.

[The Bat]

Removable Masks never look right. They'd be better off doing a "removable Head"...like some other lines do(like Takara).

I personally don't think kids care all that much about the alter ego aspect of a character unless of course the alter ego is really important i.e. Clark Kent. Even Bruce Wayne isn't so well known these days IMO. As far as the other characters what other Alter Egos are there really? Outside of fanboys is there enough of a draw to warrant the extra production steps and costs?

I'll take Robin and Catwoman with a removable mask and Batgirl with a removable cowl

[DocDrako]

I personally hope there are no more removable masks. My son won't mind either way, but I know he'll just end up losing them.

^I'll be interested in seeing how Matty handles the female accessories--if they get that far...

One advantage might be that masks for female figs might aid in hair-control.
