Remake remaining Super Gals!

...as a default, we're always going to removable mask first for that very reason. This is why I've been digging deep into this issue with this board. If it becomes a 50/50 split, you know which side we'll lean toward. I hope that doesn't make too many folks here angry...

It's not a question of anger, but rather aesthetics--removable masks, even at 1/6th scale, seldom look good. You end up with either a pin-headed fig or a clunky mask... This is apparant with Mego, Hasbro, Tonner, Barbie, & Mattel retro.

No offense intended (I'm collecting in multiple the entire Retro line, despite flaws), but the new Batman is no better IMO than vintage Mego in regards to the cowl--just different.

I can understand what you mean about playability, and also a removable cowl may indeed be useful with female figures & rooted hair.

But personally I'm relieved to see Flash & Capt. Cold sculpted.

Doc indicated in an earlier thread that Manta didn't have a removable helmet due to scale & packaging--shouldn't this continue to be a consideration?

Hawkman is perhaps the only other fig that could benefit from a separate cowl, considering the size & complexity of his helmet.

I want them anyway they make them! My vote for must have removable cowls are Hawkman and Hawkgirl!

I also agree, even as a kid I preferred removable masks and never understood the inconsistency from figure to figure. My custom mego Flash & GL both have removable masks.

So even though it promises to be tricky and is rarely ever executed well, removable masks for Batgirl, Catwoman & Hawkgirl please!

But doesn't this discussion beg the question, if you have a removable mask for Batman, why not Flash? Where is the line drawn (GL or Robin, Cheetah or Capt. Cold, etc.)?

Flash doesn't have a cape that gathers up around the neck to work with the silhouette of the mask. When posed properly, at the risk of sounding overproud, the silhouette of this figure is just great. On Flash, it would have seemed even ore helmet-y.

Removable masks and cowls are my preference for female characters

I just don't see how a removable mask would be workable along with rooted hair--talk about potentially ruining the silhouette!
