I'm a bit of a fan of the Spy Troops Duke that they later remade in 25th;

Duke in the Energon universe tho. Sweet Jesus just that first issue.

Got my Doc today. What an absolutely fantastic figure! Also got my Marauders 2-pack...it's cool, but I think I'm just going to part out the gear and use most of the set as custom fodder. Except for the bird! He will join Freedom with classic '84 Spirit lol I like how they mixed up the loadout though, gives it some variety. Spirit's backpack (Low-Light's actually works too, but think Spirit's is better suited) and Low-Light's satchel both work perfectly for Big Ben.

I'd like to see '92 and '93 Duke eventually. Think I may like '93 Duke a bit more though.

I know I'm going to get grief for this...I actually want to see Sneak Peek in Classified.

Him, Snake Eyes v3 and RnR v2 from that same year are big wants for me too! As for 1990 figures, I definitely am expecting more in 2025 from 1990 and later! We got the Range-Viper in 2023, the Night-Creeper this year and the SAW-Viper is on the way early next year. So I'm fully expecting a couple of 1990 Joes like you mentioned in the next couple of years.

Beats some of the other stuff people have argued about here before, I guess?

Steel is normally just one of the boys following Stalker, etc.

Marvel Order of Battle demotes Steeler down to an E-5.
Makes more sense with the way he is portrayed.

Looks like normally an officer would lead a tank platoon, but individual tank commanders should be at least an E-6. Maybe that has changed over the years.

And somewhere I could swear I saw Steeler listed as an O-4 (major)! Cannot remember where I saw him published like that. Back-up pin-up in a Marvel comic maybe?

He's a loner Dottie, a rebel.

Really? 100? Like, you'd choose 100 other Joe's ahead of him for a mission? REALLY?? 🤯

My order was only $54.11 and I still got free shipping with pulse premium so it kinda confused me.

Go see for yourself if ya don't believe me, add something to a cart and view your cart. It says "shipping is free on orders over $75 with PP"

edit:Or is it already changed? I'm confused.

Same thing happened to me. Then I realized my Premium Membership lapsed but I never received a re-up email. Their website and app have been in shambles.

Can we get a wave that has Stalker & Rock N Roll V2 and maybe... I dunno Snake Eyes V4?
