His original 13 figure was blonde right? Why was his 1986 figure brown haired? When did this change?

Hasbro wanted him to be different than Duke, two Blonde haired leaders would have been too confusing. At least that was their logic at the time, they really were pushing Duke as the leader.

It's funny how a lot of character's hair colors changed in the comics. In some issues Low-Light has blonde hair and in others it's brown.

When Duke first came out, a lot of people thought he was Hawk. I will say this much: they kept Hawk's hair blond in the comics. But in the cartoon, and the newer figure overall, he really looked Reaganesque. They made Hawk look like Ronald Reagan, not just to distinguish him from Duke, but to capitalize off of the then-President's image. You'll get other opinions, but it's obvious to me.
Hey, you should have seen Lady Jaye in the sole Sgt. Savage cartoon, they made her a blonde. |

Hawk's hair never changed. It was always blond from issue 1. I love the cartoon, but leaving Hawk out from the beginning and not acknowledging the SE/SS connection never made any sense.

Covergirl changed hair colors too in the cartoon she was originally blonde and it was longer...which personally I thought looked a lot better I wish we'd get a figure for that version.
Also Low Light changed from Blonde to Black and I believe back and forth a few times, but Low Light has been a mess, hair color and place of birth. 86 blonde from Crosby, North Dakota 88 blonde from Crosby, New Mexico 91 black from Crosby, North Dakota 93 blonde again from Crosby, New Mexico 01 black again from Crosby, North Dakota 06 08 blonde AGAIN from Crosby, North Dakota 11 blonde but no city listed. |

Like mentioned above, they wanted to separate the two characters, thus changing Hawks hair. He was initially a Col. Even his Filecard suggest he was the leader. LOL
I never have and probably never will like the Duke character.. there are so many other great characters who are higher rank and I feel make a better leader. Hell they are all pretty much Sergeants now.. so that doesn't even matter.. I would take Beachhead or Stalker leading..I would even settle for Flint.
