So yeah, remember when I posted the news item about the upcoming Dusty figure a couple of days ago?  Remember how I said it was a shame they were wasting time on this character rather than some of the more iconic characters?
Yeah, I’m a moron.  This figure is nasty.
All decked out in full desert camouflage, looking very much like his classic self but with some awesome modern elements it really captures every element of Dusty.  I love that they included his beret, the FAMAS is gorgeous, and the little diorama teaser is excellent, too.  The diorama itself is less exciting than what appear to be desert themed Cobra Troopers and even a little shot of Sandstorm!  Beauty.
I swore long ago that I would not be pulled into the Sideshow line, I simply don’t have the funds for it, but they’re making it pretty damned hard.  If they can make a fringe character like Dusty (and a character that I don’t really have an affinity for) so appealing…well, that really says something about their production values Very impressive.
