One more day, one more review of a G.I. Joe: Pursuit of Cobra Wave 3 figure. I’ve already covered Storm Shadow and Snake Eyes, this time around it’s super rocket-launcher Duke! Yes, he comes with a ridiculous shoulder-mounted ICBM system. But somehow he still manages to be a bad ass figure.

Great review, as usual.
Not a bad looking figure, but I think if I was firing 8 rockets from my face, I would want a helmet.
@Swivel-Arm Beer-Grip: It’s okay, he’s a man of action.
Not a bad looking figure. Figure looks great, backpack looks great, but they do make an odd pair. It looks like a great update to the iconic Duke.
To me the weapons looks more like something Fast-Draw would use. Still I’m glad that I’ve got this figure on the way.
How nice of my new standard Duke to bring weapons for my other figures!
Seriously, he looks awesome! The missile system and the bazooka are going to other folks, though.
Took a closer look and now I got a question: Do the pegs on the gun and the launcher fit in the holes on the backpack that are supposed to be for the pipes? If so, the backpack could double as a carrying unit without the missile launchers attached!
not a bad looking figure…the weapons suck though. maybe in a TRU 2 for $10 sale.
Alexx, yes it does work as a carrying unit and looks pretty good at it too. There is an L-joint that even lets you put them as the backpacl’s weapons if you can find a way that yo like them.
I love this Duke and SE. This is the best Duke head sculpt in the 25th to present era. But what is with the card art? Snake Eyes looks too cartoonish for a highly realistic figure. And Duke looks…I can’t decide if Duke looks like Peter Gabriel or the guy who played Sledge Hammer. His face really looks familiar.
My “Desert Battle Duke” has no paint apps on his rifle…solid black. ZOMG VARIANT!?!!?
Probably just a mistake. Pics eventually.
Worth it for the head sculpt alone.
