    So if they are coming out with Hawkman...

    What solution do you think they came up with to fit the wings inside the blister? How about the wings on the helmet? (if Batman's ears need to be so short).

    Narrow wings that do not extend to far to the sides or above the the tips of the helmet/head; i.e. Wings in the closed position

      They could pack his headgear at the bottom of the package, they way they did Green Arrow.

        We did this in an earlier thread, but my vote would be wings that detached. They could be one piece in extended position for flight, and pack behind the figure like a surfboard.

        Removable helmet would also be awesome, and pack in easily.

          I think the wings can be made to fold in (like on the DC Universe version) and I'm all for a removable mask on this figure. Esthetically it makes sense to have the mask/helmet come off, rather than attempt a mold with it on. I think it would read better as a separate piece.

            Special Edition Boxed version. Why Card him he won't fit in a card anyway Go boxed make it a collectors item.

            The Public Enemies Hawkman figure is almost Mego sized and was put in a larger Bubble to fit him in.

              That whole bubble thing is ludicrous. Pack him in a box of a half dozen by himself. Problem solved.

              Imagine if Kenner had adopted that philosophy. No Vader, No Chewie..... Dumb.

                Wings might be made of clothie-squishy material not much different than rag-doll Darksied.

                If this is so they can probably be crammed in a regular bubble

                  I'm generally not a pessimist, but I think there's not much chance of seeing Hawkman if Mattel maintains this ridiculous bubble policy. Figure + wings + helmet won't fit.

                  Just had a horrible thought: diecut cardboard wings. They would never stoop that low, would they?

                    As a kid, the one figure I wanted more than any other, aside from RC Batman of course, was Hawkman. I loved GL and Flash but Hawkman as my favorite DC character next to Batman.

                    I'm almost afraid to see a Mattelego Hawkman after seeing some of the Wave 3 and 4 figures. Notably Captain Marvel who I was REALLY looking forward to.

                    I want them to do Hawkman badly but I'm also afraid I'll hate it.

                      Agreed , Flash looks Great but Captain Marvel's haed sculpt is ludicrous, hopefully it looks nothing like the finished sculpt. I'd love to see Hawkman but am afraid of what the wings would look like. I saw a custom Mego Hawkman in Amok Time last week for $40, the body looked great but the wings were lazy cardboard, without decent wings it can really ruin that figure.

                        Hawkman's wings

                        The new Batman cowl is the perfect approach to the Hawkman wings regards to plastic.

                              They could always use the soft spongy wings Doc molds but make them less spongy, and rubbery or hard plastic. Hell the figure is likely to look close to the custom Paul made and sold years back, but obviously slightly altered by DC and Mattel.
