My Duke showed up from HTS yesterday (in a bubble mailer?!) I ordered Duke, SE and Shock Trooper at the exact same time and they charged my card three unique times and sent out three unique shipments. Who the fuck is managing that place?
But about the Duke--I really dig it. It's a great base buck for customs and just looks good, in general. The backpack gizmo is a little wacky, but at least it looks like it could be legit, if the concept of it weren't totally batshit insane (by that I mean the scale, sculpt and paint are consistent with the rest of the figure's details.) |

Great reviews, thank for posting the pics of the web-less SE..save me the trouble!
Now, I will remove the webgear and add some simple sheath and gear to make a new ninja version to add as a whole new figure. This is THE 3 3/4" of the Joe line IMHO. |

Great reviews - thanks for posting. Duke should have been retooled and released as 25th Fast Draw.

I always love your reviews, they are so informative, both in your writing but also in your great pics. Thanks man, you actually turned me around on the Shock trooper...

@ Justin if you turn the shoulder knife sheath around on Snake Eyes it looks a lot better... I actually took mine off, but turned around it looks better trust me... plus it's more accurate that way he could actually grab the knife when it's turned around.
Also you can pop the knee pads off... it gives the V2 head SE a sleeker look, but also it's just cool that they come off |

I'm experiencing the same thing. Some figures of my order got shipped out on Dec 6, others not until a day or two ago. Got Duke and SS individually. My excuse for getting SS was that I was drinking at the time I placed the order. I hadn't even really wanted the previous POC SS, so why this one? Arrrghh! This latest Duke is actually Duke. Finally. I can't find anything I don't like about him. Classic uniform, topped with cool 2025-ish armor, not just another 2010 typical kevlar vest. I like how the armor is just sculpted right on. As awesome as most removable vests are, sometimes they can be a hindrance (as with Beachhead and his left arm). Cool how the rifle can peg right into his back. Now just have to find a suitable new head for Jungle Duke. Tried the extra Zartan head, but, ah…no. |
