HISS Tank boards member BILL has posted all new images of the upcoming Arctic Threat Duke figure from G.I. Joe Pursuit of Cobra. Duke (Arctic Threat) was a popular figure at JoeCon2009. This figure comes with a snowboard which has popout wings, and ball jointed knees in lieu of double jointed knees like the Ice Viper(possibly to aid better in posing on the snowboard).
When this figure hits retail it will come with the vest that was shown on it at JoeCon. Click on the title bar to see more!

Took some pics of arctic threat duke to show. Dident take pics of the others there because other people here have done that already. Duke is a good figure overall , nice head and legs. Could do with out that body and arms thou. The hands are ok but dont work with these arms , it limits the type of weapons he can hold. The gun that comes with him he can not hold right. The snow board is nice but to small and can do with out the pop out wing things. There is a button on the top of the black pack in the middle of the snowboard. You push the button and out comes the wings. The back pack has the black bar attachment that the snowboard and missle launcher can attach too. I dont think this figure is done yet due to it not having the pack go flush to the back. Which would mean he will come wearing a big jacket (most likely the one that comes up over the neck.also needs some missles for him launcher. The legs are nice and only bend at one spot on the knee. They do swivell round with the thigh staying straight. I tried to show all in the pics so everyone can see but sorry about the bad camera.

Thanks for the shots.
Did yours come with the jacket?
It's a cool figure, make a nice addition to the arctic forces.

That Duke is looking better than I thought it was going to look.

Honestly the pack probably doesn't fit because he is supposed to have a jacket covering the reactive armor just like Snow Job. That is the only reason I didn't also pick up this figure from eBay. Handytoy or whatever the seller is said he didn't have the jacket, so I decided I'd have to wait for the complete figure to become available. So don't despair about his imperfections, having the jacket will enable his equipment to work better with him.

So far these arctic guys have been cool, Snow Job especially, I can't wait until Arctic Threat Shipwreck comes out. I believe the Arctic Threat Duke and Arctic threat Shipwreck bear a striking resemblance to Soap and Roach from COD:MW2.

When this one comes out, I'm gonna pop off that head, glue on some goggles and use it for a Lowlight custom, and use the body with some 25th head to make an arctic version of that Joe. And ironically, my sale will contribute to Hasbro's belief that we all want tons of Tatum Dukes instead of unique Joes.

Yeah can't wait 2 cop this Duke,he looks good. Between he SnakeEyes and SnowJob will make 4 some awesome arctic troop customs.

Swivle knees? Snow board? TOW Missile launcher (I think)? This Duke is shaping up nicely!
