The reactive armor body made a nice part to Reactive Armor breaker (as he is my pilot for my Joe version of the cobra gunship) and the boot knife is a very nice touch...kinda like HD's reactive armor thigh holster for the pistol.

I guess you people who gave it higher than an 8 just dont understand what the human body looks like... the proportions are all messed up on this figure from the chest up... His neck is giraffe like and his head is freakishly wide(from back to front/nose) makes him look sooo goofy. Also yall really need to go grab an Xacto, just pop the head and do a little cutting on the back of the neck and he will be able to look up... doesnt help though, his head and neck are HUGE. 6 out of 10 just for the body.... head deserves a 1 out of 10... just for the effort.

I dremeled and hot melt glued the robo duke head onto this one so he can look up. Plus I hate painted heads, they never hold up.

I like the reactive armor but the head does not look proportional to the body. Something is off - big head? neck?

The noggin is a little out of scale with the body. The head also tilts forward at an awkward angle. The figure itself is nice as well as the accesories. However the springloaded launcher is one feature I don't care for in the new line. Thus I rated it lower than I would have had a little more attention was paid to the issues that I have with him.
Of course that's me talking and not a kid that would love the figure. I would have loved this guy when I was a kid though. |

I guess this Duke was designed to only be posed with Scarlet or Baroness. That way his downward look makes sense.

Same here. I did the same with the Ripcord version as well. Then I painted the neck Flat Black. I also added the Resolute Arctic Duke Helmet (coming with Air Raid next) as I thought the head was too exposed. I did the same with the ROC Heavy Duty Armored version. I also swapped Desert Strike Scarlet head for the Pony Tail one, cut a small bit out of one of the helmets and now have a team with Armor and Helmets, they look spectacular now.

I like this Duke, but I like the Desert Ambush head sculpt better…

I like this guy quite a bit. I swapped out his head with the desert duke because it's just a better head sculpt. The RA Duke head actually has a more "generic trooper" feel about it once it's on the Desert Duke body too.
I modded the neck a bit so that he doesn't have that "constantly looking down" thing going on |

I think this is a great Duke figure. He looks as if hes ready to kick some ass. Also nice weapons including his boot knife.
