Yeah, the hair sculpt looks slightly different. Other than that though, he looks exactly the same. Kinda lazy...

I mean it's Star Duster so being a lazy Duke repaint with some extra accessories is accurate.

If you count the balaclava heads, they have. They reused Kamakura's head for Wolf Spider, and Firefly's head for Wreckage. Even for masked faces I find this unacceptable, especially for Joes.

Hmm, they are in PDT, so I am guess that is what the time should read. Its 8am for them in CA right now. There is no way they are doing a fanstream for SDCC at 8am.

Similar, but a team full of men with army haircuts is going to look a bit similar after a while.

Starduster looks appropriately Starduster-y. He's just gonna wear his helmet for me, like in all his other iterations. I like the cereal box. (though i remembered them saying they were going to do something fun with the packaging... I guess not!)

Please don't start getting lazy with your figures, Hasbro. Mattel jumped the shark with WWE figures and re-use. You're better than them. Don't go down that road too much.

Exactly how I'm feeling. Happy for others but that's a pass for me.

The Star Wars preorders are now up on Pulse. I thought that was noon.

What is going on here today?!

The front of the hair looks slightly different, but the face sculpt is identical. AT least in these pics. The entire body looks identical as well.

I don't remember OG Starduster being a Duke repaint but maybe he was?
