Well was toying with parts and I like this torso better for Duke
Need to paint the croch still I like the movable parts to not need paint So looking for ideas that are paintless Thinking about trimming the white bands off the wrist Any ideas fellas ? Anything I can switch ? Anything I could add ? Any legs that work better that don't need paint ? Updated his head !!! Update : cut off the wrist bands Waiting on a V43 Duke Head then I'll switch to that one

far be it for a novice like me to jump in, but I agree, the torso looks good. Gives Duke a more muscular and "field" look. The regular Duke looks like he is going to his staff job at the Pentagon. I can't really think of any legs that wouldn't need painting, but something with a more "relaxed fit" that would look comfortable in the field. Maybe the legs off of the DG Cobra Trooper (which of course were I believe actually Snake Eyes at one point).

These legs: Duke (v46) G.I. Joe Action Figure - YoJoe Archive
This head: Conrad "Duke" Hauser (v43) G.I. Joe Action Figure - YoJoe Archive And a belt (probably the same one from that DG Duke). I think that'd look great. |

I'd go for the Dollar General Green Shipwreck legs and just deal with having to do a little painting.
I haven't seen anyone use the head for the new Captain America movie figure for Duke yet. I thought that would be a popular choice by now. Maybe give him the bandolier and belts from the Ultimate Snake Eyes figure, just painted green. |

I agree with the Duke v43 head. Still thinking about the rest of it.

That is a great idea for a modern update without the 'tucked' pants.
