Yeah, I hated that powder blue coloring on that figure. Even though that mold was far superior than the 25th, I actually continued to display the 25th hooded version. That navy blue just looks so much better. But yeah, if they give me the Ultimate mold in navy blue, I'll be very happy.

I get that some folks already have that figure in the helmed CC's iconic colors and would like for the V2 color to be released, but from the perspective of someone that both prefers the helmet and doesn't want to pay $60 for the ultimate, I'd be good with that.

Perhaps we'll both get our way though- they've set the unfortunate precedent of only including one head with SE, so perhaps they'll make a hooded variant in it's correct color scheme.

This will be the last time I say this. I hope Duke gets the 50th Flint body with a 50th Duke head (or Ren. Duke head is fine too), and
a 25th Duke Bandolier, all painted in an ARAH V1 Deco. I don't need the binoculars, but they can throw those in too. I hope they make Duke this way. I would army build the hell out of that figure!!! Imagine those parts in those colors!!!

Come on Hasbro. You can do this!!!

EDIT: I'd even be OK if you put a scaled down Classified Duke head on there. Just get the build right!!!

Agreed.

I’d like a newly sculpted torso for Duke, but a straight DATD Flint build is acceptable.

I’m gonna have to disagree on the classified head though. I’ve thought this from the beginning, but after handling the one my son got to go with his marvel legends I’m now certain...
That sculpt is excellent, but it’s not “Duke: competent military commander”, its “Brett: arrogant jock douchebag”. Just use the 30th/50th sculpt Hasbro.

Yeah, I don't like it either. It's amazing how wrong the ME has gotten Duke time and again. Hopefully, a new headsculpt is in order, but something akin to his classic look, and not that fucking flat top that became en vogue at some point.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but read this, then re-read this, then read it again.

I certainly prefer the 50th Duke head and I’ve got an extra ready for a head swap if they do decide to do what they did on Roadblock and go with a Classified style head.
They should have used the Tiger Force RB head.
