Nice try!

I feel obliged to point out that even though your assumptions were to be correct and the Balrog really was suffering from muscle atrophy and amnesia that would only help to explain why it couldn't fly if it had wings. Your arguments do nothing to prove or disprove that the Balrog had wings in the first place. And yes I'm aware they were tongue-in-cheek and, you know, the very idea of winged Balrogs vainly flapping their stunted wings like a barn-yard chicken is very amusing for sure...

Do you mean to say Balrogs had attachable plastic wings?

Looking at the picture Heren, I think they are metal, either way plastic or metal, they look nothing like shadowy wings to me, are you sure they dont belong to a Vampire Figure or a Jurassic Park Pterodactyl Fordim. So the question should be 'Do the Balrogs have Metal or Plastic looking Shadowy Wings?'.

No, plastic wasn't invented at that time

Maybe velcro?
