I just got back from lunch and had taken a quick trip to TRU. There were a bunch of renegades figures - mostly Duke, SE and CC. Ok... I semi-retract my statement about them looking "cartoony," but really only concerning Duke. His head sculpt is probably one of the finest German descendant heads I've ever seen on a 4" figure. While his body sculpt looks a little bit simple, I did notice the paint job did a lot to enhance the details of his uniform, and prevent it from looking too stylized. The choice of colors was still a little too pastel. It's a far cry from the Play-Doh looking comic pack Duke. All of his weapons look like placeholder props.
One thing that bothered me in the detail is that his pants were untucked. This is fine if he is practicing combatives or something, but otherwise hard to accept - kind of like Stalker's dreads.
In the end it would have been $8 for a great head sculpt and that's about it.
