Re: Dusty.
It's funny to see it said how he's just a guy in military fatigues. In the 80s and even going into the first gulf war, desert fatigues were such a novelty. I remember thinking how cool and different v3 Duke looked in desert fatigues. (Granted, he did have a red t-shirt and shinguards!) Now after 20 years of war in the Middle East, desert fatigues are how we picture American soldiers. Dusty went from being a weird environmental specialist like Snowjob to being a normal soldier. |

When I deployed to Iraq in 2006, being a Marine reserve unit, we still had woodland everything for a brief period. During my time from 2000 to 2008, we started with woodland cammies and then switched to the Marpat cammies that had both green for wooded areas/general duty and desert. They actually allowed us to wear tan nomex flight suits for when we were overseas. I'd like the line to remain mostly retro so that the characters are recognizable but I have always wanted and still want non environment specific characters to come suited for any environment. |

Been to two locations of my LCS chain; each had 6 Zaranas, no Dustys or CGs.

I'm assuming LCS is local comic shop?

Yeah, Dusty really should have had the modern camo (a la the Rockslide version), that would have helped a ton (or even just the more detailed camo of the DVD pack version). This one is too much on the side of "reproduction of the original", and for someone like Dusty that's a bit of a missed opportunity. Let's just say that he's not up to the standards of his amazing POC version and leave it at that.
Also... we need to decide whether he's supposed to have the camo on his face as well. Last edited by GeoffDes; 12-09-2022 at 07:41 PM.. |

Correct.
Jist left their third location. Four more Zaranas, nothing else. Not convinced they didn't put some to the side to sell online. Pretty sure I caught them doing that with other Classifieds, before. Last edited by NaytNavare; 12-09-2022 at 07:52 PM.. |

Spot on. He looks like he's fresh out of an underfunded reserve unit...lmao |
