I do kind of like seeing more Joes with Steel Brigade helmets, especially when they are different. It makes sense from a story perspective, and in this case, given when and how Starduster was released, it makes even more sense.

I hope Starduster isn't a general release. That thing screams "clearance"

Oh, I totally agree. I hope I did not come across as attacking you for not liking him. I was just genuinely curious, as he was one of my favorites from that era and I assumed he was pretty popular as a character.

A lazy repaint at 3.75 scale is a lot less offensive than a lazy repaint at 6inch scale. In my humble opinion at least.

Hoping the Rattler is all that and a bag of chips because so far I am just a bit annoyed. Been waiting all week for this.

I will pass on starduster, didnt have him when i was a kid and so no attachment to him, and since its appears to be a repaint of retro duke, a figure i have, thats an easy pass.

I was hoping it'd be the Joecon Starduster though:

I'd never buy a straight up repaint as a con exclusive, especially at the con markup.

But as someone said he's not in the correct packaging for that.
