Duke's original packaging art has him holding a rifle much like the laser rifle of original Snow Job. However, he came with a green version of Stalker's gun instead. Oddly enough, I just purchased a Duke from someone with the Snow Job gun. I know it's probably just the wrong gun, but out of curiosity, were there ever any claims of Dukes coming with the rifle in his art instead of the green Stalker gun? I mean, there must be SOME reason he has that rifle in the picture...

The original mail off Duke came with the green gun, backpack and binocs like the solo figure, but in the cartoon, everyone used the laser rifle, so with the 25th release and focus on animated style, that is why everyone gets the laser rifle now...

I have never seen the Snow Job gun in green before, nor have I ever heard of anyone having that before. I know that I always used Snow Jobs gun on mine because I liked posing him like he was in the card art and the Stalker gun didn't have the butt stock for him to hold it like that.
However, for the new 25th one, I don't know why, but I like using the Stalker gun better. I find he can hold that really nicely after I modded the arms.

To me, that is the Duke gun. I find that he holds it quite well.
I hate the friggin' laser rifles. They go imediately into the unused bits drawer. At the rate it's going, I expect to have enough to build a really nice house out of them, one day. |
