The answer I got was that the wings would have gotten in the way of the parchutes..thus they didn't give them any. Now as for giving him wings, Barefoot has the right idea. The Sand Viper glider will fit on the figure, although you may have to make some alterations, it isn't much.
Alyosha has a custom of the Sigma 6 figure that he made taking the BAT attack figure painted it blue and attached the said glider. |
It is a cheap figure, but i figure it was just a novelty gift considering they gave half of them away. It was just something quick and fun for the kids. |

The wings are attached by means of a plug in the back. Shouldn't be too hard to adapt it for your needs. I'd lose the missile though.

Edit, I take that back, more like 3 inches. In fact, here they are on a standard 3" Stik. http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...s/DSC00486.jpg

Now...if they called it a SkyBAT...it should come with wings, sorry. As for wings getting in the way of the parachute...keep them off for the drop, but then give them WITH the figure when being handed out. | |

None of the drop figures ever come with accessories.

Page 24 of the Con comic has the Sky B.A.T. file card. It was this years parachute figure, but the name was not parachute bat.
