Yeah that would make a grea H&R. I would change the legs though but the rest is perfect.

I'd say use the climbing rig, and put it on:

head- new
helmet- new (Pro Tech waverider style w/ sculpted goggles)
torso- viper
arms- fixed Duke
vest- new (or DTC Barrel Roll)
leg- Dusty

Skip the old school dufffel, and give him a leg-bag (w/ rope), and M-4, and a hunting knife.

what if they painted it like Hit & Run but called him Teddy Bear, would that be okay?

actually, I don't think the mold works perfectly at all. other than the straps on the legs and the goggles on the helmet, there are far many more details missed by that mold than match. heck, just use the leg straps on a Duke figure and you would have a H&R that is pretty spot on.

I would be one bajillion times more excited about a H&R figure than I am about Airborne. I really do not get what all the excitement about him is.

I've always loved Airborne, no clue why. Hit & Run is a favorite too.
