Wave 9's General Hawk is the classic leather jacket version most people have been waiting for.
This is an all new sculpt that makes a great looking figure. Hasbro added a little touch with sprinkling some grey paint on his hair. The use of separate belts on this figure is done really well and looks great for the most part. My only complaint about the separate parts is with the wool collar of the jacket. It doesn't sit down quite right so it looks more like some foam neck pad than the collar of the jacket. Two other minor gripes of mine are the elbows (I usually don't hate on them) are made in just that special way that doesn't allow the elbow to bend much more than Duke's arms. Also the left hand is a little under-formed. It can't really hold the gun that comes with Hawk and I doubt it can hold any accessories. The wrist joints are hidden perfectly as the hands plug into the jacket sleeves. Speaking of hands, his right hand is made so that he has his forefinger in "ready" mode when holding his gun, or pointing to who ever he just ordered. The little details on the jacket like the name tag and medals are very nice. General Hawk comes with a new helmet, backpack, handgun and GI Joe stand with his name on it.
This figure looks great and is a nice representation of the original figure. The minor gripes are just that, minor. This figure will look great in most any diorama.
Figure Review: 8 out of 10
