hello forum people.
Duke from Arizona here. A bunch of us are gettign ready for a convention and were working on costumes. Hawk, duke, flint, rock and roll, stalker, leatherneck. so here is my first try at this thing. I only have the 80's figure to go by. I cant find my OD green pants, or any jump-wings at the moment, so i made due. please give me your HONEST opinions. not just looks great. critique it. i personally don't like the cross belt deal, across the torso. but hey its what i have at the moment. I have a helmet and goggles too, but not at my house. so ignore the NON blond crewcut. Last edited by 1SG Duke; 01-13-2010 at 02:40 AM.. |

Welcome to the 'tank!
The costume looks okay, I guess. It's sort of recognizable as Duke. If you've got a long-sleeved khaki shirt, I think it would work better, since the 1980s toy had what looked like a long-sleeved shirt with the sleeves folded about halfway up the forearms. If you can get some binoculars, that would help solidify the look as well. Should look much better once you find your OD pants. |

ya o.d. pants would help but you could strut up to the con looking like that and I wouldnt give you any shit for not having the right color pants. I think there are 3 important things that make duke recognizable
1) brown shirt - check 2) green bandoiler - check 3) blondish hair - check ...and if you are goin with someone dressed as scarlett throw a banana in your pocket for good measure... Last edited by Gerrorism!; 01-13-2010 at 08:49 AM.. |

I was told by a few people that only desert Duke had those, and he wasn't cool. have OD pants. need long sleeved khaki shirt. thinking of wearing a kevlar helmet like the toy. i will prolly have shorter proper hair by than but def. not as cool as dukes. |
