Stalker being Stalker probably realized that. Hard to believe someone like Stalker would follow someone he didn't respect. Stalker and Duke are also always shown to get along.

I?m confused how does Stalker out rank Duke? If you go by file cards Duke has always outranked Stalker. Stalker started out as E-5 Sgt then for the Arctic 89 figure he gets promoted to E-7 Sgt 1st Class. Duke has always been E-8 First Sgt or Master Sgt. they are the highest level combat Sgt.

I don?t know much about the comics but the cartoon was very loose with ranks, too loose.

Strike what I said! I actually wouldn't be surprised if we get at least 3 or 4 Joes from 1990 in the next couple of years. Not including vehicle figures, think there are only a few handful of single-carded figures from 1982-1987 left that still need to be done (Zap, Short-Fuze, Flash, Rip Cord*, Airtight, Mainframe, Lifeline, Iceberg, Monkeywrench, BA CoCo, Fast Draw, Crystal Ball, Gung-Ho, Sneak Peek and Psyche-Out). So it stands to reason that we'll seeing more representation from 1988-1994 starting in 2025 and beyond.

*we know he's eventually coming already

Multipacks would be a great way to get some later-line figures into Classified. Tiger Force, Python Patrol, Slaughter's Marauders, and Night Force are running their course. Time to bring on Sonic Fighters, Star Brigade, Battle Corps, DEF, Battle Commanders, Ninja Force and Mega Marines!

A nice reward after a very long drive.

We were away for a week and we came home to 6-7 BBTS, EE and Target boxes that I couldn't quickly move to the man cave lol

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 '91 and '92 Duke eventually. Think I may like '92 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.

Crimson Guard Immortal and Interrogator are prob atop my list (with Night Viper). I'm a Cobra guy lol

That card art is ridiculous lmao

I wonder when we are going to get more joe small vehicles, there are plenty to choose from.

Also, when can we get more winter joes to help snow job? And I see Duke as just another joe in the team with a job. His job is to get kidnapped and watch the leaders in q successful mission lol. I have no need with Duke, but he is not in my to ten joes not does he really stand out other than being the face of the brand (though one could argue that is snake eyes or cobra commander)

Same first thing in 20+ years that gives me hope a future generation will care about this franchise. I am all in on this shit.
