Neat! That's the idea!
Now can I see another shot of Livewire with 'em? Sorry for being so demanding...I just can't tell for the life of me how they're attached to her...they look like they're floating around her hands!!

Yes! That was a great improvement on Mattel's part with Shayera's eyes. I agree the Thanagarian Hawkgirl looks much better.

MiniMates Stargirl's star staff works pretty well with the accessory-less Stargirl from the three-pack.

My buddy used a bunch of Power Rangers' accessories as Constructs for his Green, Yellow, Etc. Corps.
They look pretty cool and they came in Green, Yellow, Red, Blue, etc. so multiple corps could join the party.
Sadly, I have no idea which series of Power Rangers had the various pieces of transparent plastic, but I'm sure somebody on here would know.

I did a quick google for them and found these under Power Rangers Jungle Fury.    CCC.

So this thread got me thinking and I did some window shopping today. In the Iron Man line I saw 2 yellow and 1 red accessory that could be used for DCIH Lanterns. I think I will break down and get an Iron Man just for that.

I used the yellow lightning bolt from the new Flash figure as an accessory for the Quardian Weaponer custom that I made.

I think I have only one example of reusing accessories in my collection. I used two of Red Tornado's red tornado accessories on Flash to recreate the whirlwind arm effect that he used in both JL and JLU.
Along similar lines, but not exactly in the spirit of the thread, I also bought 2 Vigilantes and corrected Mattel's grievous error of giving Greg Saunders only 1 six-shooter and holster.

Product review.
I got the Iron Man 2 figure with the yellow repulsor blast today. The figure's ankles are such that it won't stand without a base. The repulsor blast is a soft rubbery clear yellow plastic. It is molded to fit over a fist. It will not work on the DCIH Sinestro Corps Sinestro. It will work on the original black and blue Sinestro with the larger hands. In the Marvel line I saw Iron Fist with a yellow flaming fist accessory and Electro with 2 electrical discharge attachments.
