Troynos has provided all new images of the retooled Ghost HAWK prototype, presumably for the G.I. Joe Pursuit of Cobra line. This prototype features significant retooling, providing a futuristic look for the venerable and iconic Sky Hawk.
The new Ghost HAWK comes with Lift Ticket though like with Roll Bar, though the figures share the same mold, the identity might be different. Or would you rather see Lift Ticket come with a retooled(for sturdiness) Tomahawk?
The new Ghost HAWK features more details which help it stand apart from it’s predecessor. Here’s what Troynos had to say about it:
Here’s the prototype Ghost H.A.W.K.First the figure, not sure if it’ll be final figure or not, but it’s the same as the 25th Lift-Ticket, just a different head. It’s the same head as the one with the VAMP prototype figure. So not that much there.
As for the H.A.W.K. itself:
The missile launcher is one side only and detachs. It looks like some of the other launchers can be put in the same spot. I didn’t get a chance to check (kind of rushed tonight) but I will tomorrow, as well as take more pics if wanted).
The landing struts are heavier and there’s a thicker connection piece to the main body. It makes it look more.. well.. real. It’s not thin and looks solid. The struts themselves are solid looking as well.
The large wings are gone from the back replaced with smaller ones. I kind of miss the middle one, but the little rudder looks pretty cool though.
One negative is the placement of the jets to the side wings. The jets, if real of course, would be constantly melting the wings.
The jets are smaller and look more factual I guess. I don’t know, but I like them.
All in all I hope this makes it to production cause it’s really a sweet little vehicle. Can’t wait to see one painted up and see what the final colors are.

Thanks for posting all the photos. Although I won't be buying this one. I like the modern era version much better.

Damn it looks really nice, it'd compliment the updated VAMP really well.

IMO one of the more iconic of all Joe vehicles. Happy to see it coming back to shelves!

I may just pick up one of these. It looks fine but I am not that excited about it.

This updated version looks more like a gunship version with the classic being the missile carrier version.
Sorta of more of a close in infantry support role.
I really like it.
Hoping its a target exclusive 9.99 figure combo ala the Ram Cycle/Trouble Bubble. I know its not but here is to hoping.
