I thought that everyone might like to see the
Blackhawk set in more detail.
The box art.
The contents.
The set includes a reprint of Blackhawk's first ever appearance. Many of the sets on eBay do not have the comic book included.
The individually numbered certificate that accompanies the set.
Blackhawk in the classic "Black Knight" uniform. A nice head sculpt on a classic Hasbro vintage Joe body. Holster and belt are leather.
Classic vinatge style box art by Don Stivers, the artist for the GI Joe Adventure Team. Note Action Pilot logo.
I have decided to put together a Blackhawk squadron all dressed in the WWII era "Black Knights" uniform, so I've added three more of these uniforms to the collection. From left to right Staniaslau, Blackhawk, Chuck and Andre...
The Blackhawk figure is the basic figure that comes with the set while the remaining three figures are all GI Joe Classic Collection era figures that all bore an excellent resemblance to Stanislau, Andre and Chuck.
Original comic art of Blackhawk team member Andre.
Comic book art showing Stanislau.
Chuck Wilson the red-headed Texan member of the Blackhawks...
Here is Blackhawk in the '60s comic book update of the team uniform...
All the variations of the uniforms in the set on Blackhawk figures...
The squadron assembled...
Only Olaf (far left) and Hans (far right) left to complete the original Blackhawk saquadron in the "Black Knights" uniforms...
Would like to put these together using GI Joe figures, but Hans will be a challenge to match up with a Joe headsculpt. However not half the challenge that will be presented if I choose to put together a Lady Blackhawk figure...
