This shit even bothered me as a kid as to why the general's hair color was changed. I know it was to differinate him further from Duke, but to this day I don't like it when Hawk has a hair color other than blond. For me Hawk did, should, and always have a golden head of hair.
Needless to say I was kinda in my feelings when this dropped. Of course when I eventually buy Sideshow Hawk I'll have his hair painted blond. With that being said, not only do I want Classified Hawk to be blond, if he comes with an alternate brown hair portrait, I want the blond hair portrait to be the one on the figure. In your head canon what color is Hawk's hair?

Should be blonde. I never felt the change was justified either.

I agree as well that it should be blonde. He was originally blonde, and he looks different enough in any of his vintage and new looks to differentiate him from Duke. I have the Sideshow Hawk, and I just put his helmet on him. I do have the Sideshow Zartan with the extra “Duke” head though that I’ve considered using on him. The head is different from the Sideshow Duke head so it doesn’t look the same.

General Hawk (v2) was my first figure. I only watched the Sunbow series growing up. Ergo, brown.

It's both, it just got darker as he got older. Like how my hair was light blond when I was a kid but it's brown now. Sometimes it just happens later in life because of stress etc. And yes I am equating my childhood with the challenges of battling Cobra for years, lol.

Hawk should have brown hair. Otherwise he and Duke look like twins and you know they ain’t changing Duke. Plus, in the cartoon and on all his ARAH figures besides the first one he has brown hair, and when the first one came out GI Joe was still coming into its own and he was purely a parts reuse, whereas his fist all new figure he has brown hair.
