I did this for comparison purposes.
In my mind I was seeing the Gung Ho legs as making Duke too tall. Seeing this next to RB and Gung Ho, I think he’s too tall. My RB does have Retaliation battle Kata Legs but they are comparable to the Retro Collection legs in length. The 50th head sat pretty high on the neck so I chose this MTF head as maybe being closer to Vala’s head. What do you guys think? Too tall?

that gave it away? You would think that guy went to sleep in 1982 and woke up to see 25th figures for the first time when you hear the excitement in his voice.

I was really hoping we'd get a Retro release of the Cobra Trooper but now I'm afraid they'd use the build of the one that came in the Missile Command HQ set. That was a lousy build. The Officer build wasn't much better. I was going through the more recent figures to see if there were any that would make a good retro release. The Falcon from the three pack in V1 colors would actually be a great choice.

To answer your Duke question: the issue is more the mismatch of the thick bodybuilder legs with the smaller 25th Dusty torso than just length |

I hope this is not considered “off topic” but with the reveal failure of Duke I got motivated and did a little something and related it to the figures in the build being discussed.
Be better Hasbro.

While I really dig the head he posted, I don’t think I’m a fan of using the Gung Ho legs on that body. I think the 50th Shipwreck legs work better.
