So, today, I won an auction for the unreleased Arctic Duke on eBay. Upon further inspection, I read in the auction, that even though it is pictured with its accessories...it comes with none.
I'm feeling really stupid and gullible right now, but have decided to make the best of a dumb situation. Do you guys have any suggestions as to how to outfit this figure to make him less of a waste to my collection? I was thinking some ROC Ice Viper accessories and whatnot could make it worthwhile... |

I've had that happen. I won an auction for what I thought was Transformers Heroes of Cybertron (the PVC figures that came out several years ago) Galvatron, Cyclonus, and a custom Scourge. I paid $45 for the "set" and when my package arrived, it was only Scourge. I went back to the auction to email the seller and realized it said it was for Scourge only. :-( I have not been able to get rid of that ****** since.

I hate auctions like that! Once saw one for comic packs. the pic showed 4.
but the auction was for 1 and winner got to choose which one they wanted.

You can still buy Arctic Duke's ski separately on ebay...
although they are in lots of 5 now... 5x G.I. Joe POC Arctic Threat Duke Snow Board Loose | eBay You could get him an Ice Viper gun, it's not colored correctly but it might do the trick for you & a Pitt Commando or 3rd party vest. |

I hate that, I now read all auctions. I once bid on a Proto 25th SE only to realize after bidding that it was a custom Proto and not an actual Proto from Hasbro. I didn't even realize that a seller could make such a thing as a custom proto like figure. Luckily I was outbid. I was sent a second chance offer after the auction ended but I declined. I have since learned to read the auction info better.
