Shown below via Oficina dos Joes is a in-hand look at the new G.I. Joe Classified Tiger Force Dusty figure which has yet to be officially announced by Hasbro.Here in the US this figure should end up being a Target exclusive.

The original 1980s Tiger Force Dusty was just a repaint of the original, so this is, too, apparently. It's pretty note for note.

I like this Dusty version and will buy it.??
Nah this is an easy Pass, Already have regular Dusty, which is the Dusty for me, I only collect 1 version of every Joe, no double ups and this isn't Dusty to me, but it does look good.
Looks good but not really into the Tiger Force deco - especially since the regular versions are either around or on the way. I did snag Recondo since he was like 12$ for a short time so Id probably grab thisDusty under the same circumstance. He wouldnt be anything more than fodder though.
Probably going to be an easy pass for me. I'm fine with my regular Dusty, and I don't have such an affinity for the character that I would *need* every iteration.
