You'd think a line of classic (and new) cereal mascots would be a no brainer at retail.

Trix Rabbit, Sugar Bear, Sonny, etc.

I gave him an 8. I think its a good figure and nice addition. Not sure why he's the pulsecon exclusive though. Also feel like having him priced as a deluxe feels a bit high for all the resuse, especially compared to other figures such as Raptor who is the same price.

I also do not like the helmet him and retro Duke came with. I feel the visor looks way too big and definitely sticks out in my opinion, which is a shame as I'd like to display him with the helmet. Also they need to not use those binoculars. Like I get is very reminiscent of the original binoculars but how they don't lay right on the figure definitely makes it feel cheap and very 80s and not in a good way. Was great to get blast effects for the jump pack that weren't warped for change!

Got him yesterday, I like him a lot more than I thought I would! I actually mostly pre-ordered him for the head, was planning on using that as a placeholder for my custom retro Flint and use my repainted retro Duke head for Starduster. But since we're getting retro Flint in 2025 anyway...

I was going to give him a perfect 10 since I had absolutely no complaints but I did find 2 nitpicks that bumped him down to a 9:
- Like DFender, I think the tan color on the webgear is too bright. At first I thought "eh, it's supposed to be that way. Can't really knock em for that". But after looking at some pics of the vintage figure, it should definitely be a bit darker
- My second gripe is a bit bigger: he's supposed to have rolled up sleeves to the biceps, like it is on the Recondo buck. And I do think that would look a lot better. I thought about using Recondo's arms and painting the sleeve part light blue but that's not an option since there's too much of a gap when putting those on the Duke buck shoulders (I tried it)

I did once again feel compelled to do some small modifications: got rid of the webgear for the above mentioned reason, gave the jetpack some actual straps, gave him a Snake Eyes leg holster and painted the belt buckle.

I'm also a bit confused as to why everyone keeps saying that Starduster was a repaint of Duke. Looked up both vintage figures and the only thing they share is the torso. The head, arms, crotch piece and legs are all different

Very nice mods as always Freditor. I have been been meaning to give his webgear a wash to make it look a little darker, jsut haven't gotten around to it yet.

It is interesting, he really wasn't a straight Duke repaint at all back then and was definitely a Frankenstein of many different figures (Flash/Duke/Recondo/Flint/Roadblock).

Gave him a 9. Not bad, for a repaint. I took off a point for not having a painted knife blade, but everything else is pretty good. I like the open hand, as it's easier to get him into a two-handed gun pose, without stretching out the plastic on his left grip hand.
