Thanks for the review. These figs look OK, but I think I'll pass.

Repaints ,repaints and more repaints ,thanks Hasbro for once again trying to sell us more of the same recycled crap over and over again ..oh who's the bloke painted in easter egg blue with the rocket pack ..looks like Duke hmmm..nope ..it's an "all new character" that uses the same mold as Duke ,gotcha i see ..almost had me fooled you cheeky bugger Hasbro !
Really i don't know why people fancy these new figures ,i don't get it to be honest i am gobsmaked by all the whole hype ,they remind me of the He-man figures from the 80's where they used the same bodies and just molded new heads and tried to pass if off as a new character . The classic line is far superior to this crap ,looking at this rubbish i'm glad i am not buying the 25 th collection. |

I got this set in the mail today and I must say it's my favorite of all the SRO packs. I got all 3 the first time (just wanted the Joe one, but got the Cobra ones when I got my tax refunds). I won't be getting the Navy Command or the IG one though. I don't need another Destro. I have an IG, maybe 2 and I don't like the purple one. That Cutter doesn't interest me. Ace looks cool so maybe I'll try to get him.
I really like the Ace and Wild Bill. They look more "realistic" to me with those paint schemes. I never had Starduster as a kid so I didn't know he came with that Gung Ho gun, which I'm not a huge fan of because it falls apart so easily. The diaper crotch doesn't bother me that much because he won't be going in any vehicles. I had an extra Marauder pistol to put in the ankle holster, but no extra knife. The helmet on mine is very loose. The other helmets look nice to me and fit well. It's a little tight to get Wild Bill's on due to his glasses though. No old Duke wrists either! Overall I'd give this set a 7/7.5 out of 10. It exceeded my expectations and I think is a little better than what we've come to expect from the SRO packs.

I really, really like the Starduster figure! He is just awesome! I wish they would redo a Duke in his OG colors with this exact combination of molds! Except for the diaper crotch.......

Here are some reference shots of Starduster, in case anyone wants to do a little modification.
He'd look better with camo pants... perhaps Gung-Ho's?

I completely agree with your statements on Ace's helmet. It's like a shower cap with a visor. I think it actually looks much better on Wild Bill - maybe it's the way the vest comes up behind his neck and fills in some of the space.
I'm not sure if I'm going to turn this Ace into Ripcord, but with the green uniform and reddish hair it really does resemble Ripcord at first glance. I really like this Starduster, especially once I paint some camo on his pants and maybe try to find a new head.
