I agree. Plus, I'm about sick of that backpack. They even gave it to Airborne. (Yes. I understand why. I'm still sick of it. Not directed at you DLM)

One of my favorite figures in the line. I think he is a well made, versatile figure. I give him a 10

I agree with some of the comments that suggest this figure looks a little "off" compared to earlier Duke head sculpts or to the rest of Classified as a whole, but I don't want to dock points for that since I think this is the result of intentional design decisions for the Retro release.
So, I landed at a 10 because it accomplishes everything it intends to without any glaring faults or issues. Like Retro Scarlett, this figure comes with a nice amount of gear. Build quality is good. Figure looks like a more detailed version of the original, but without the goofy smile. It's a fine Duke, especially if you were in love with the 1984 version. |

I think your votes for retro Scarlett and Recondo didn't actually get clicked on the poll either, Izzy.

Gave him a 9.
Finally opened my Retro Duke and having a hell of a time getting his lower and upper torso to line up and stay lined up. Anyone else dealing with this or have ideas to fix it? Other than that issue he is amazing looking and weapons were not bent to hell for a change.

I'm giving Retro Duke an 8. For sure, he is a near-perfect recreating of the OG 1983/84 figure, but a few minor things take points off for me.
First, the writing on the shovel is just dumb. A star logo would be OK, or a "Yo Joe!" in a font that looked like Duke had painted it on and not printed at the "factory," sure. But better nothing at all. Second, My figure has one really wonky ankle that makes standing poses very difficult, even with the figure stand. Third, and the biggest issue in my mind is the face sculpt. He's a handsome guy and looks a little older than the 04 Classified Duke, which I like. What doesn't work for me is the totally neutral expression. It seems so emotionless. The 04 Duke looks serious but determined. The OG 1983/84 Duke is smiling. This one just seems vacant in a way that other "serious faced" Classified figures don't. |

Retro Duke is without a doubt my favorite figure released in the Classified line. The only figures that could possibly top this Duke for me would be getting the same Duke mold in Tiger Force colors and/or Armored Cobra Commander.
