I'm going to come out against these. I just feel like I am looking at power rangers. General Hawk does look great though. The colored armors just feel cheesy. The colors take away from any sense of reality (besides the camo) and uniformity. I would rather Duke wear his actual costume in a talking dramatic scene and then slip into a black night ops costume. THEN Try to make the power suit feel like his dress uniform.
Each his own I guess. |

This is the version I was emulating: http://www.yojoe.com/action/00/generaltomahawk.shtml Not sure I like v2, but there he is: General Hawk without the beret. |

While deciding what to do with the beret, I found that when Abernathy became General he had two types of head-gear: 1) A green helmet with goggles, and 2) the garrison cap. I always thought he looked funny wearing that helmet with his jacket, so I opted to give him the garrison cap even though my research indicates that it isn't used by the U.S. Army anymore. I figure General Hawk is an older guy so he probably would wear the garrison cap for nostalgic reasons. (It's not like he's wearing "official" Army garb anyway.) Oh, and the figures with the garrison cap showed him with sunglasses, so I added those too.

I don't think anyone could write a script that would appease everyone. Just like digibashes, comics or whatever. Some people will like it, some won't. I'm hoping it will be a fun and decent movie. The only thing I'm worried about is if it emphasizes cheese over all else. I don't want it to be this generation's "Street Fighter" or "Mario Bros."

ok I like this thread. Great job. Keep up the good work. But I'd still like to see the helmet on Hawk.

BTW, if anyone has a suggestion for a character to attempt, I will be more than happy to entertain those ideas. I will not guarantee that any of them would be made, but rest assured I will consider them all. (The only stipulation is NO BEGGING.) |
