General Hawk
I prefer this version to the PIT version in the leather jacket. I overall like the design as a modern Hawk even thought it does make a better modern Flint. The figure appears to be all new parts, nothing taken from the 25th Anniversary series. The new arms a well sculpted without that weird wrist joint the Heavy Duty arms had. The likeness is pretty close to Dennis Quaid, one of the better likenesses so far. |

Cover Girl
I pretty much bought Ms. Kreiger for fodder. The figure is a descent design, I prefer the redheaded Cover Girl myself, but I do think she was a blond in one of the cartoon mini series. The figure takes many parts from the 5 pack Lady Jaye. It appears CG has new arms and new lower legs and a name badge in place of LJ's knife. The new forearms are a nice sculpt, the arms narrow down to the wrist perfectly without that weird thick wrist at the arm, thin on the hands that sometimes happens. My chief complaint is than her head can only swivel side to side due to her chin. If you hollowed out the inside a big more, you could get the full articulation back. |

Air Raid
I got ROC Air Raid as a free gift, so I can't really complain that he's just a repaint of the Resolute 5 pack Duke. I think the blue camo helps set him apart form Duke, but a new head woudl have helped more. Last edited by Bad Sociologist; 07-03-2009 at 09:20 AM.. |

Thanks for the reviews.
Have we gotten proof that it is Barrell Roll? The funny thing is that I was using the Resolute Duke as my Barrell Roll anyways, lol. The hair color makes the head look different enough.

Not sure if it's been confirmed by Hasbro if that's Barrel Roll, I'll wager the figure will be ina store exclusive boxed set.

Okay, so he's not Barrel Roll, he's Air Raid and will be coming with the Sky Sweeper Jet in the Alpha vehicles line. I wonder if he'll be coming with a helmet since none is shown in the packaging.
