Just got Hawk (and Animal) myself and I totally agree. Great figure, great accessories, great card. The art is so killer. I do find it funny though how the portait of Hawk is done in a different style than Animal's. Hawk's is rougher with more pencil lines. I'll be looking forward to your future Legends reviews, though frankly this time I was more interested to hear what kind of camera you're using. I'm in the market for an entry level DSLR myself, once I can work up the nerve to drop the cash anyway.

What kind of camera do you have? The pics look great! P.S. tbh when i saw all the protos for legends 1 it took awhile for me to get on the band wagon .......but once I actually got the figures in hand I couldn't help but love them. I would say getting animal is worth it for the head sculpt alone ( because you didnt like the body). Another figure that was decieving was dusty rhodes. I kinda of laughed at the proto, but once I got it I couldn't stop playing with it.....my wife wished I would put the figure down though lol

First of all, great pics. I really like the Legends Road Warriors, but I think I'm in the minority in that I like the Animal figure better than the Hawk one. Sure Animal's got the skinny legs, but at least they tried to give him a muscular torso. Hawk's figure looks to have the same body and arms as wrestlers with much less impressive physiques. In his AWA and NWA days, Hawk had one of the best bodies in wrestling, and I don't think that's represented at all in this figure.
Thanks for the pics and the detailed review. I really like this figure -- I just think it's a little over-praised.

Glad to help you out bro, well worth it. You're pictures are so good its pretty much pointless for anyone else to ever take a picture of Hawk and put it on here. haha
That Hawk is truly a gem of a figure. You need to get Animal though (or do I need to pick that up for you??) gotta have the complete set. DOOOO IT!!!

Do yourself a favour and get Animal. I can see your point about his body type - it's too muscular and his legs are on the skinny side considering what the real Animal looked like back in the 80s. However you can't have Hawk without Animal, that's just crazy.
Displayed with Hawk, Animal doesn't look half bad. I really like my Road Warriors (and btw they are the ROAD WARRIORS not Legion of Doom...LOD was a name they coined after the Superfriends cartoon for the stable: Spoiler, Jake Roberts, Bundy, Borne, Anderson, Hawk, Animal).

I'm in the market for an entry level DSLR myself, once I can work up the nerve to drop the cash anyway. I love how rough the artwork looks on Hawk's, I don't know why but when I saw it my jaw just dropped. I honestly think it's one of the coolest cards of any action figure I have ever seen! Weird Animal's isn't the same. If you do end up getting a DSLR, you'll have a hard time finding one at the entry level better than the Canon Rebel XSi. Then again, Nikon has some incredible stuff out there, but I absolutely love my camera! What kind of camera do you have? The pics look great!

I really love the Dusty figure, if I see it, expect a review! The boots being the main reason why I want it, they look SO awesome! Glad to help you out bro, well worth it.

You need to get Animal though (or do I need to pick that up for you??) gotta have the complete set. DOOOO IT!!! Oh man, everyone is pressuring me now! LMAO I'll think about it and let you know... looking at Hawk, he does look a little lonely without his partner. Do yourself a favour and get Animal.

Oh, I know the whole history, but they were always announced as, "Road Warrior Hawk, Road Warrior Animal - The Legion of Doom!", and that was even after the split of Ellering and them. Heck, they still were called the L.O.D. and had it on their tights. I'd love to see a Legends Box Set eventually put out with all of the LOD incarnations... anyone else down with that idea?

<i>If you're a newer fan, you might not know much about the Road Warriors, Hawk and Animal (known collectively as The Legion of Doom). </I>
If your a Wresting fan new or not if you Don't know who The Road Warriors are then you need to look for a new hobby..
Thumbs up to your post as well.
