I wanted to do a nice upgrade of Duke to fit in with the 50th line, so I took a little inspiration from some customs I had seen by Marine-73 and Ozzie92 to name a few. From there it was just a matter of making things fit and painting him up! This figure was fun to make and came together nicely IMO. I hope you guys dig it! Let me know what you think!
Recipe head - Ren. Duke torso - Ret. 3pk Firefly arms - Ret. Mouse hands - 50th Beachhead legs - 50th lady jaye accessories bp - 50th hit and run rifle - poc shock trooper gun belt - poc hawk pistol - mu ultimat cap bandolier - joe con zombie steel brigade

Was the helmet Marauders?
Duke looks great. I use that head for my unmasked SE figures, otherwise I'd use it for Duke, too.

The helmet was either Ret. Ultimate Duke or Ultimate Flint one. Its a great head sculpt! I thought it was the perfect duke, had that great steely gaze.

The gun belt and tac helmet give him a much needed modern look. Great job!

Looks good, though strangely I think he looks more like Hawk than Duke to me due to the brown color of his dress shirt.

Looks great! Hasbro could easily produce a 50th Duke using this recipe!

Well the best compliment I can give is that I am stealing this formula. I hate the 50th Duke we got yet he is a part of my "50th" universe, so I think I'm going to go through my parts bin and copy this today. Question, does that Duke head fit on that body naturally or does it need filler?

I used a bit of hot glue to make it sit higher on the neck.
