I think it was stupid and was too niche for wide appeal.

I went hunting, tonight. Seven Targets; one had a Metal-Head. None had anything newer than the Python wave with Copperhead or Mutt and Junkyard.
Went to six Wal-Marts. Nothing newer than Shipwreck and Rock and Roll. Three comic book stores; some Rippers, Retro Recondo, 60th Army, Quick Kick, that was it. |

I don't open my retro figures so TF Duke is my display Duke, I don't think there is one terrible figure in the line, some have shortcomings but there is no figure in Classified I completely dislike.

I honestly like the forst classified version a bit better. The retro dukes shirt is way too lightly colored. The retro c9lored one is more befitting colonel courage than duke.

I own him, and agree that the Retro Duke is a solid figure done quite well. He also perfectly fits with the small, overly vocal minority of Joe collectors who want 1:1 representations of the ARAH figures. However, the dated look doesn't quite fit in with Classified.

Calling him stupid is silly, and I wouldn't say he was "too niche," either. The figure sold out and was running fairly high on the secondary market. The Blackout "gold" version was rectified by the redeco for those who were looking for something more "realistic," and he was fetching decent coin on the secondary.

Hard agree duke v1 wasnt terrible even the field variant wasnt bad @ all , retro duke as well, duke still looks like duke in all versions and your right Nam retro looks very dated even as a new sculpt , i have all 3 versions and its nice to have different looks for any characters , i gave a fellow tanker here an extra just to share the love . I mean people that think classified v1 duke looks bad have never seen spy troops or VvsV versions of duke etc ..

Basically keeping my wave 1 to 3 figures with modern Action Soldier, Helix, Shooter, Range Viper, and Voldemort's Line. Just look way too out of place with current Classified's direction. Same with the VAMP. Love it, but it'll stay with newer Classified and the VoldeWagon will go with the above figures. |
