this was another of those just total waste's of a figure: did anyone really want a greenshirt Duke?
Red Star on the flip side was hella rad, John Wayne head and crappy Duke arms and all. Great gear and a well executed figure.

i rather like that duke....especially after i swapped his hands for a cobra trooper's gloved hands.
i see that duke as just what he looks like---a greenshirt....earlier in his joe career. of course there are other figs idve liked to have seen in this figure's stead, but, as far as a cheapie comic pack figure....i like him. |

Here! I wanted this toy!
I pretty much agreed with what you said about Red Star, plus I can’t stand the fact that knowing our luck he’ll be the only member of the October Guard we get… But this Duke I think is terribly underrated. I’d say I enjoyed him MORE than Red Star! The parts were great, and he just has a “first thirteen” look to him. He really looks good, and has this charm to him the other Duke figures don’t. Plus, his gun is WIN. |

...but before you saw him, was it something you were clamoring for? that's what i meant... one of those cases were it seems to me for a very minimal effort they could have done Grunt, Zap or Shortfuse

Ah, sorry, I misunderstood you. Not really, but I rarely anticipate figures that have previous remakes before I see pictures.

Nice review. Red Star is must have if you ask me. I really like this figure. Duke is okay, but just another Duke as far as I am concerned.

The Duke from this pack is great for customs; it's the only released version of the long-sleeved Original 13 outfit that color-matches with Rock N Roll, Breaker et al. Already got comic pack Hawk and Ranking Officers Grunt switched over to these bodies....
