It is a departure from the original for sure. He is still a cool figure though. I can't help but think if he didn't have the wrap on his head that he would look darn close to a cartoon version of Duke from the 80's. (maybe with a case of constipation). With any luck we will one day get a decent version of the v1 Duke.

FYI - I just ordered FF and CC from Hasbro's site. I hit two Wal-Marts and a Target today and found nothing. I figure I might be paying S&H but whatever. Now it comes down to finding AV's. |

You know, that's part of the problem IMHO. Duke (to me) will always be the smiling guy in the yellow / tank shirt. I mean, that original figure was smiling! No other job to that point had a smile (IIRC). To see these more stern looking, different attire wearing versions... it just seems off.

Cobra Commander at Scotia Walmart. Their price stickers still say $9.97, but they scan $6.97. Had a Duke, some SE/SS, a cross eyed Beachhead.

East Greenbush Walmart- What are you smoking? Their ENTIRE toy section looked like a run down Kmart.There were LITERALLY NO Joe,Star Wars,Iron man, etc sections...basically no boys toys what so ever...lady said, oh about a week we'll be done....pathetic Walmart.....
Target- ONE lonely Duke dangling by the wrong peg..Iscanned him and it said none in stockroom...i moved'em back...under him is a couple Doom Cycles and Ghost Hawks... btw I scanned the upc code from my Hiss at Walmart Glenmont and it came up as in stock...not out though...

Picked up that Cobra Commander at the Scotia WM, thanks for the heads up Ben! Nothing out yet at the Washington Ave WM. They are still doing the reset. Leftovers at the Latham WM and Target.
