What's the consensus regarding General Hawk's hair color?
The Marvel comic had him play a large role and showed him with blond hair. Duke, who was also shown as blond, only played a minor role. The Sunbow cartoon, which a lot of fans watched, showed Hawk in Season 2 as an older man with dark brown hair. Duke played a bigger role on the cartoon but the hair colors probably helped kids sort out the characters. The Hasbro toy line, to make things even further confusing, first showed Hawk as a blond, then switched his hair color to brown in 1986 (most likely to mirror the show's hair color choice). Hasbro's 25th anniversary line of figures again complicated things by giving us both "flavors" of Hawk's hair color. My question is this: Which hair color does your Hawk have? Since the 1986 version of Hawk was one of my first figures I decided to create a custom version using the 5-pack figure's backpack and helmet, combined it with the Wave 9 body, and topped it off with the "angry brown haired" head from the Toys R Us "Firefly/Green Shirt" pack (which happens to be a brown haired version of the blond 25th anniversary Hawk head). The head's flesh tones match the hands and neck pretty closely and the helmet fits on pretty well.

Blond - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Taken from that page: "Blonde", "Platinum blonde", and "Platinum blond" redirect here. For other uses, see Blonde (disambiguation), Platinum blond (disambiguation), and Strawberry blonde. For other uses, see Blond (disambiguation). Thanks for playing. ***EDIT*** Not to sound like a jerk but it's a pet peeve of mine when random posts are thrown out without first doing a little fact checking. It's all good, of course. I'm just looking for opinions on the old hair color...

This format has the spell checker built into it (the red underline) I thought the same thing when I typed it and it corrected me. .
