The Joe team's Desert Trooper finally made his Classified debut in December 2022 as part of Wave 10. Dusty was met with mixed reception when he was first revealed, as some fans wanted him to have a more modern take with modern camouflage. Other nitpicks were: his camo deco looking incomplete, his desert havelock hat being plastic instead of soft goods and some people also thought he should have come with a little more gear and accessories. Despite those shortcomings, Dusty is still a good figure and is a welcome addition to the Classified line.
Dusty comes with the following gear and accessories: a rifle with bi-pod and a removable magazine clip, a removable desert havelock, (2) pairs of removable goggles (one for wearing on top of his helmet, the other for wearing on his head), a knife and a backpack. 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!!!

The helmet sucks, the face sculpt and printing is a bit too pretty, the uniform color is too yellow, the mismatched elbows and knees are extremely obvious...I'm gonna say 5. I think Dusty might be one of the worst figures in the line.

I gave Dusty a 9, it's close to a 10. But I had to take a point off because of the missing paint apps on the waist and the rifle being just slightly too long to actually get into a natural looking two handled pose. But thats a problem that a few of the figures have, or rather their weapons have. They really need to double check the fit of some of these weapons.

I scored him a 7. Points off for the ill-fitting helmet, the gun (which is a pain to get decent poses out of, because of where the grip is), and the lack of soft goods on the helmet. A different colour scheme would have been nice, but not a deal breaker, for me.

10. I don't like the helmet at all, but he keeps it under his arm and it makes him appear more sensible when he isn't in the desert.

Admittedly, not one of my favorite characters. I think they leaned a little too hard on the vintage look here. Additionally, doing so and not giving us a soft goods neck shade bring it down to an 8 for me. I will say though, the folding bi-pod was a nice touch!

I'm going to go "8"
There's some ups & some downs here... The bicep is one of the qc issues I have where turning it cause it to seperate, this bothers me when he is holding the rifle with both hands The glossy plastic of the torso is sadly too distracting, I feel there is no excuse for it because it's so obvious-someone should've corrected it in production I don't think the soft good on the helmet would've looked good, so I do prefer the sculpting Unlike some collectors here, I did not fnd the helmet difficult to stay in place or pose...especially with the goggles trick It's nice we got two sets of googles, this is one of those small things that increases usefulness Good headsculpt It's interesting how they combined his classic FAMAS F1 with the MSBS Grot B for something modernized looking I'd like go 7 if I could re-do my vote but it's ok, I still do like the figure for the most part |

Dusty is another favorite character but I was disappointed in the helmet design and the sparsity of camo. I hope he gets repainted for a retro carded version.

Another 10 for me. This is a great figure, great accessories.
