In various production videos we’ve seen some concept art for an upcoming Sideshow Collectibles 12″ Dusty, and now he has been officially announced!
Personally, not a big fan. Sure, Dusty has his place in the G.I. Joe mythology, but come on…what about Destro? Zartan? Crimson Guard? Sideshow’s been doing some great military figures, but it seems like that’s all they’ve been doing. Duke, Flint, Beachhead, and Firefly are all awesome, certainly…but I’m really looking forward to seeing how Sideshow tackles some of the more… “eclectic” folks in the G.I. Joe universe. Not to mention the fact that I don’t really see Dusty as being a core character that needs 12″ figure treatment before so many others.
Ah, well…I’m sure the end result will still be very cool, just wish we could see some of the more iconic characters tackled. Check out a preview image below.

Fixed, thanks!
I don’t know man: That Dusty looks pretty awesome. So far I only have Cobra Commander, but I’d love to get a few more of these. I really want Flint and Beachhead, and am waiting for a Baroness figure to be released.
Are those desert Cobra Troopers I see in the background?
