Released as part of the new Classified Retro assortment Wave 1 in April 2024, this is the Classified line's third version of the Joe team's FIRST SERGEANT. For the retro figure, Hasbro has given us a great 6" update to the classic figure, featuring a 100% all-new sculpt from head to toe.
Duke comes loaded with the following gear and accessories: a backpack, a laser rifle, a removable helmet with visor, a pair of binoculars, a machine gun with removable ammo clip, a pistol, a knife, (2) alternate hands (clenched fists) and a stand. Using the poll options, rate the figure on a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being a total miss and a 10 being plastic perfection, based on what you feel the figure deserves. Ratings should take overall design, sculpt, paint apps and paint deco, accessories and articulation into consideration. Thanks for voting and Yooo Joe!!!

9. I absolutely love him. Helmet should have been produced with no visor or holes. But I get they want to reuse it. The addition of a pointing finger would have been most welcome.

I'm giving this one a rare 10. I can't see how it could have been better.

Easy 10 for me. I thought Scarlett was going to be my favorite out of the spring 2024 releases but Duke takes the top spot for me. Sculpt, articulation and load out was top notch

7/10. He looks OK but honestly the drab colors and generic face feel too...old?
Kind of prefer the personality of the first version. |

9. Practically perfect in every way, except for that ugly pistol he got stuck with (should have been issued the classic 1911).

As far as Classified figures go, this one is near the top of the list, but it somehow doesn't speak to me enough for me to buy it. Maybe if they included an extra head that was more in the expression of the original figure? I gave it an 8. If the Ultimates version didn't exist (which is more in line with my ideal of Duke) I might give him another point.

I gave him a 9. The only point I took off is from the stupid writing they put on the shovel. I don't think that was a good idea. I'm actually not opening my Duke, so I can't say if my score would have been lower, due to QC issues, but it looks great in the packaging and all the other figures I received today, including Scarlett and Recondo, had perfectly fine QC.
