The only Cobra figures still left for Hasbro to update from the early years ('82-'85) are....

What if Hawk was colored with dirty blond/ light brown hair. Kinda Dennis Quaid color. If his hair was a color equidistant between the bright yellow-blond and dark brown he's been depicted with, would all the haters be placated, or would a good compromise leave everyone mad?

I think I'd be...........appeased (I might still just slap on some brown paint when I opened him).

I finally read the whole thread so here is my thoughts.
Hawk - I had a feeling he would be blonde. I like the brown hair better but I will buy this as soon as I see it. A truly awesome figure. Also for all of us wanting a Hawk with brown hair all I have to say is Arise Serpentor Arise. Bazooka - Not bad but not as great as I would have liked. The helmet looks weird, the head looks small, and the 14 just doesn't look right. Still I like it and the weapon is a nice update of the original. I'm sure he will look better in person. Barbecue - I'm starting to think this may be the best figure in the wave. It looks perfect. If the helmet is removable that would be great. B.A.T. - Maybe the only figure in the wave that can give Barbecue a run for his money. For some reason the head seems a little off but it may be the angle. Another work of art. I just hope the damaged head and other backpack comes with it. It also appears like it will have a handgun. Thank you Hasbro just make this and the Viper as easy to get as the Cobra Trooper and all is good. I'll take 20+ please. Snow Serpent - He's OK but never one of my favorite Cobra troopers but I still like him. Still Hasbro did a great job. My main problem with this figure is the fur. Hasbro went a little too far with it. Still the figure is nice. Put me down for about 5. Storm Shadow - I actually like this figure. The black and gold go nice together. Sure I would rather have a Ninja Force version and I'm not using Storm Shadow as a Cobra any longer but it still looks good.

All in all, I'm liking these. Not a fan of Bazooka, never have been; but I'll probably get a case as being cheaper anyway, and repaint & rearm him.
I appear to be one of the handful loving Ninja-Ku! I think it's great that Hasbro is putting out some of the international variants. Hopefully there aren't too many copyright issues with some of the cooler SoAm figs. And as far as prices go: 1) Hasbro almost certainly budgest their profit margin assuming a re-use of the mold; possibly two or three re-uses. That'll be part of whatever strategic plan is handed to the brass hats to sign off on - we can justfiy this many unique parts for Storm Shadow because we'll reuse all of them eight times. 2) Prices inside the States for just about anything are artificially low based on your historically strong dollar. Well, now your dollar ain't so strong, and most of the things you buy aren't made at home anymore. So your prices are reaching those of the rest of the world. Empty pegs up here have 7.99 & 8.99 tags on them for Joes. And as they say, everything goes up but wages. It's how the system works.

I would have to agree with that. Yeah he still looks great though.

Why didn't they make Nina-Ku black? Racists. We'll they're too late with this one, I already made a Ninja-Ku of the proper race, so I'll pass. But, I'll more than make up for it in Snow Serpents! He'll make a good base for more generic ninjas, but I've already got more ninjas than Feudal Japan. Also, I can't get into gold sword blades.
