Hawk? I hope it's finally bomber jacket Hawk. But I'm torn. Do I want a comic accurate blond crew cut Hawk or a cartoon accurate dark curly hair Hawk?

I want a cartoon version of Hawk.  This is the Hawk I grew up with.

I love Barbecue! There are so many winners in that wave, but I love Barbecue. He was one of my favourites from the cartoon but he's gotten pretty obscure over the years. It's great seeing a new figure that reminds me of those great memories.

Like Pete said, total home run with that wave. 

Its kinda funny; I had the comic pack Hawk in my hand a little while back and said to my wife "y'know, if I pick this up and they release a bomber jacket Hawk later I'm going to be ticked".  Sure enough, I left it there and now bam, bomber jacket Hawkl.  ;D

Those are might cool. I was going to make a custom Ninja-Ku but the rit dye didn't take to the body very well. Now what and I going to do with a tetrish Storm Shadow that is part black and a dirty grey?  :-

They seem to improve with each wave and I agree BBQ is awsome!

Ugh. I want a lot of the BATS and I'm sure I'm not the only one. Hasbro should just sell them by the case load to the collectors on line. I don't feel like fighting for army builders anymore.

They've got this stuff to cover up incomplete dye jobs, called "paint" I think it also comes in black.

I'm not sure where they sell it, but I hear it's pretty popular.
