Here's my landing page for my reviews on the second wave of GI Joe's 30th Anniversary figures. How do these GI Joe Renegades figures stack up?
Duke Snake Eyes Cobra Commander Firefly

Thanks for the review.
Like previous reviews you have done, I usually agree with half your opinion on the toys mentioned. For example; Though I don't have a Rens Duke yet, I'm sure having one leg longer than the other will suck. Hasbro can be faulted with doing that plenty of times in the past. I disagree about a fig "having too many accessories". Four pistols is strange, but awesome. I like the Renegades cartoon guns and I have plenty of figures I'll divvy these (8) pistols among. And c'mon, the G11 is awesome! Regardless, thanks for the review and great pics!

Nice review Cook. I am probably going to pass on the Renegades Duke because I really duke the POC Desert Duke. But this figure does look pretty neat and I am looking forward to seeing the other ones!

The accessories are killing me on the Renegades figures. Those pistols look horrible (and I get 4 of them! Yay!). So far, love the sculpts (the head looks great) but he total package here is completely underwhelming.

The head sold me on this figure. Best Duke head, IMO. I was going to avoid the Renegades figures but as more time passes, they are growing on me. Not enough to spend $40 for a case of 4 figures from BBTS but definitely worth grabbing at retail.
I really like whats coming ... Tunnel Rat, Scarlet, Cobra Trooper, Ripcord, Law and Order. The accessories do suck, as aptly summerized in this sentence, "Duke also comes with a rectangle that’s supposed to pass as a laser rifle." Hilarious. I'll be arming Duke with some of the Marauder weapons. |

I do dig the head sculpt, but the rest of the figure is just too bland, so I left him on the shelf. Already got the G-11 with ROC figures and other figures have better looking bodyarmor for customs. I am glad to finally see what was hiding under that.

Nice review! I agree that the head would be better suited for general hawk. Kinda looks a bit old and the jointed wrists give it a strange look, but I'm still hype for this figure.
(edit) to mirror what CDT weasel said; That rifle he came with is actually modeled after a real rifle. A German made G11 assult rifle. It's a pretty strange looking rifle, but it does exist. I agree that it doesn't really fit though. It's been packed with previous Joe figures and it's not really to scale. It'd fit with the figure so much better if it was smaller.
