Thoughts on the other figures:
Torpedo: A very welcome surprise. I hated the figure as a kid (I thought he was a woman and the concept wasn't interesting to me). I'm sure Hasbro can and will use this sculpt for other purposes later on. The removable pieces add a lot of value to this. Battle armor CC: This figure may have looked a little silly to some in its vintage incarnation... but now? I think he looks perfect. Great proportions. We can complain all we want about the Beachhead-head being used for this... but, well, most will use the Fred head instead (coming with the Crimson Guard from the Comic Pack). Also... his backpack/jetpack looks much bigger this time. Good call Hasbro! Rock n' Roll: Yep, the headsculpt is neat! However, I'll be very pissed if Hasbro doesn't release him with the fixed "Doc" wrist joints. That's the only thing keeping this from being perfect. BTW - is that the "hasbro belt" again?

I was jsut comparing him to Duke and he's actually very different: they got rid of the Airborne badge above the right breast pocket, the Holsters obviously filled in, the pants seem to have more defined creases (could be do to being a hand painted proto), the mid fore-arm swivels seem to have been moved up to the cuff, the poches on his belt are MUCH more pronounced...
and damn does Doc look good. something about the color combo just really works for me ~ i always loved the character in the comics but never had Doc as a kid.

Looking at the pics from Joecon it does look like the wrist joint was moved up to the cuff of the sleeve
