I'm interested in opposing opinions, tell me why you don't like him like we do...who is saying Dusty is cartoonish, that's new to me

I'm not really sure what to give him. I get the constraints Hasbro had with the tattoo. I don't like it, but I can get past that. I can't get past the half-molded grenades. They look so incredibly weird to me. That knife sheath on the boot looks bad IMO, too.
Almost there? 6? 7? I don't know. |

I like Dusty waaaaaaay more in hand than I did in the box (Stupid. Yes. I know. Shut up.). When I got him loaded out and posed him up he became one of my top 10 Joes. Which still blows me away. Because I've never been a big Dusty fan. Also, his name has always been weird to me. It could be "code name" or a "regular dude name". So he's always seemed lame. (Again. Stupid. Yes. I know. Shut up.

Despite the tattoo being inaccurate I absolutely love Gung-Ho. Great figure, the head sculpt is phenomenal, body sculpt is great, accessories are near perfect. It?s one of the best Classified figures.

I decided to give him a 9. I was originally thinking an 8, but decided to be generous. I gave the original Classified version a 6 and this one is definitely an improvement on that one. His accessories are great and much improved from the other version. The face sculpt looks great as well and shows the progress they've made from the first few waves.
Love the paint detail on his grenades on his leg. The only thing I knocked a point off for was his backpack isn't better colored. I think having such a huge backpack be one color, especially one so bright really sticks out. I know it's supposed to be true to his ARAH, but that's my opinion. The tattoo does not bother me, as I'm not attached to it. Never had the original as a kid, but can appreciate how important of a character he is to the brand. |

The head and gear is cooler, but I swapped the military colors for the bright blue. I was glad to get him for sure.

Loved this figure as a kid, love it even more as an adult. The Classified scale details are amazing.

I gave him a 10. Other than the missing Marines logo on his chest, which is very disappointing, I think he is absolutely flawless and a fantastic figure. I ended up replacing the tattoo on mine with a waterslide decal.
Despite the tattoo nitpick, I still think he deserved a perfect 10. |

Good figure, but I just can't get past how tall he is. I got him at the same time as Destro, and he TOWERS over him. I get that he is supposed to be big, but he's way, way too big. 7.
