An image has popped up in some of the usual spots of the upcoming single-packed General Hawk figure due for release in the Rise of COBRA line. This figure is considerably different than the version that comes with The Pit, but I don’t believe we have seen any accessories for him yet. Well, this new image is a packaged sample of this figure…showing a jetpack! A very cool touch, and a nice homage to the 1991 version. Figure actually looks really cool.
Check out the image below!
