I made Hawk (no damn Toma- prefix for me!) bacause I wanted a new sculpt leader for my Joes. Reissuing that old Talking Battle Commanders mold in newer colors just wasn't gonna do it for me. His head comes from the 2003 Scalpel, torso and arms from the 2002 Wild Bill, waist and left thigh from the 2003 Cross Hair, right thigh from the 2002 Shipwreck, and feet from the 2002 Dart.

Noe we come to the great debate: should Hawk have blonde or brown hair? I gave him brown since that's the look of the character I grew up with. I may not have remembered much from the cartoon, but I knew what Hawk should look like to me.

I don't know if this qualifies as a lazy bastard custom or not, but I just didn't really feel the need to recolor most of his jacket...
