Let me start by saing that the Resalute figures are going to be a graet addition to the Gi joe line and I for one am going to stay on board for this series!
Duke comes with an all new head skulpt wich is a huge improvement from the 25th Duke. He even has a scar on his right cheek! Seems like this serieis is going to be gritty by the look of it. He comes with a removable vest and the vest has a peg on the inside to fit in the packpack hole so it doesnt move around. He comes with 2 guns a side arm that has no holster and an assault rifle wich seems to be all new, in fact Dukes sculpt is all new. He also has a knife but no holster. IMO this is a must have for every Joe collector out there!  |

That kind of detracts from the figure for me; one of my favorite parts of the 25th/modern era line is usable holsters. It is easily fixed, though, just swap it for the open holster of a different Duke, I suppose.
All in all he looks awesome, though. |

I'm sure they can use a lot of the parts to make good ARAH updates as well (if that "supposed" Thunder prototype is indeed Thunder, that is a good example). Duke's head looks really good....why couldn't they make him look as good for the ARAH version? Maybe they're using their best sculptors for the Resolute line. |
