Me being all happy to receive Duke!

New Duke and the VvV custom he'll be replacing!

Duke witha better weapon - slinged M16 with underslung shotgun and silencer from Marauder John!

Duke in action!

Just to show that other heads can and do work with the body as a base. I quite like the look of this... Hmm...

Ing,

The Trooper is beyond my wildest expectations. Being a late-80s kid, I grew up with Vipers being the symbolic Cobra soldier, emphasised heavily in the second season of GI Joe, middle-of-the-run issues of the comics and other media. I never even really liked the look of the Cobra soldier of old... but THIS guy is like a Viper and a Cobra soldier merged into one lean, mean terrorist machine.

I've got three for myself, and they look excellent together or on their own. The helmet is a sort of cross between Darth Vader and the original, in that instead of a smooth surface from top to bottom, it's a helmet top and ridge. I like it alot.

The articulation is perfect - he can bend his elbows 90 degrees, which is more than a bunch of figures can claim. His two weapons rock, and his little backpack is perfect for the trooper on the go. The vest fits perfectly, and the pouches overlapping his legs do not interfere with posing too much.

If I had to put my finger down on something wrong with the figure, it'd be his eyes are RIGHT on the edge of being Ace/Quick Kick quality, where you're kind of wondering if human eyes could really do that. But it's not that bad, so you'll only whine about it if you WANT to whine about SOMETHING.

What did you reckon of the trooper, Tom-1? Also, hit me up regarding payment, dude!

I know I sort of missed the boat on this one, but I'll contribute my two cents:

I found Resolute Duke, Cobra Commander and the Trooper at my local Target in New York, and let me tell you that is like stealing the Arc of the Covenant back from the Nazis. Anyone from New York will relate. X )

But let me say this - this is the best Duke that Hasbro has given us in 25 years. Yes, he has minor flaws, the most annoying is that at times his vest doesn't sit on his shoulders properly. But overlooking smallish stuff, he is STILL out of this world - truly tactical looking, modern equipment and a non-goober face, this is definitely my go-to Duke!

Cobra Commander, though limited in articulation, makes up for it with a menacing and stylish appearance. No issues with him, especially after 20 previous Cobra Commanders.

I found the wave at wallys a few days ago. I was MOSTLY excited for Duke. Now im not. Pics on the web looked great, but once I got him Im not that impressed. To me Duke should always be one of the "Flagship" figures, a figure that shows what the line is about. This is still a good figure, but the fact that he has a molded gun holster, and comes with a sweet knife, and a nice pistol but cant put it anywhere REAAALLLLY SUX. This figure should have had a pistol holster and a knife sheath no matter what. ITS DUKE....the new weapon is cool, and I dont mind the headsculpt, but the lack of holster and sheath have just killed the figure for me. after all weve seen with this line, the Joes Top Kick has to leave his pistol and knife in the APC cause he cant carry it...obsurd..
