Duke finally got rid of his crappy arms, all he had to do was wear Snake-Eye's body! This figure is unlike any Duke we've ever seen, it's a Greenshirt Duke. The same Duke head put onto a Snake-Eyes body makes this figure. The face looks like it has a meaner expression on it, but this seems to be due to the fact that the head is molded in flesh colored plastic rather than painted that color. He comes with the same removable chest strap and helmet but now comes with a new knife and new Binoculars along with a Rifle that is reminiscent of the one the original Grunt came with. In fact, the body even looks like it should be Grunt's body! He also has GI Joe stand.
This figure is best used for customizers to get a Grunt that will resemble the other released "Original 13" figures or just to make a generic Greenshirt. The Binoculars are pretty nicely detailed as is the new knife, but that's the only good parts here.

Red Star looks just like how a member of the Russian Oktober Guard should look, even if it's a Duke body with a new head and lower legs. The gun holster on the side of the leg has been changed too. They tried giving the holster a bendy flap like Snow Job and a few others have had, but this time around it didn't quite work out so well. The removable hat is a nice nod to the vintage figure. Red Star also comes with a backpack, small knife, Messenger bag, Revolver, Rifle with removable drum clip and a GI Joe Stand.
The only draw backs to this figure are the Dreaded Duke arms, the holster flap (Which is really only a minor issue) and the rifle's drum clip. I love removable clips for weapons, but this one is a little too loose and keeps falling out all the time.

I LOVE the Red Star fig, but that Duke sucks. When I got him it's like his head doesn't even fit on that body, it's all outta poportion & looks strange, & his new bionx are just swinging there, but the ultimate WORST is the lack of his belt... that is just lame. He looks so weird without one.
Red Star = awesome!! Duke (Year 1) = bagel... |

I like the pack over all. Duke is plain but to me he'd the best version because he can sit properly

I'm not a fan of this pack. Another Duke... No thanks. Red star... very cool figure but I can name 25 joes off the top of my head that I would rather have.

I hope the fact that Red Star's file card had an "Oktober Guard" logo rather than "G.I. Joe" means that more Guards are on the way.
