Yes, you read that right! GeneralsJoes can now be known as slightlylargerimagesofrenegadesduke.com…I’ve decided to devote all of the resources of the site to just finding images of Renegades Duke that are just a little bit bigger than the image I posted before. Fun, eh?
In all seriousness, I was able to dig up an actual full size image of Duke in the upcoming G.I. Joe: Renegades animated series. Imagine that? Click the picture below for a full size image.
Now, there are a lot of cool things I see about this image.
- Natural Proportions. Granted, there is a slightly animated style to the character, but all in all, he’s got realistic proportions and a very natural look.
- The colors. Often the fandom’s main complaints center around the character’s appearance in the film or series. Well, even though they’ve revamped the style a bit, Duke still has the tan shirt and green pants the fans have known him for.
- The gun. That’s one bad ass looking futuristic pistol.
As if you couldn’t tell, I’m getting excited for G.I. Joe: Renegades, and hoping things are heading on the right track. Time will tell, but at least now we’ve got a slightly better look at the first piece of concept art from the series.

I’d mirrored the image from MediaWeek.com yesterday of Duke in the upcoming Renegades cartoon. Well, upon combing through The Hub website, I found a slightly larger image, and it’s mirrored below.
Not a whole lot more detail, but every little bit helps, I suppose.

As promised, the guys at JoeCanuck.com have posted their latest Canadian G.I. Joe Collectors newsletter today, featuring the debut of an image from their first convention exclusive figure of the 2010 Canadian JoeCon!
While a name is not given, the art certainly seems to indicate they used the Cobra Para-Viper has a base figure, with a heavy dose of black and Cobra blue for the color scheme, matching him up nicely to Black Ice.
As an added bonus, there are also two more great silhouettes giving us clues for the next two figures showcased as Canadian JoeCon exclusives.
As if that wasn’t enough, there’s all the great content you’ve come to expect, including the awesome JoeCanucklehead comic book by Jason Loo.

I know I haven’t been posting many reviews lately for the IDW titles, even though I’ve been enjoying them much more than I had recently. I figured I should change that for G.I. Joe #18. Written by Chuck Dixon with art by SL Gallant, the main G.I. Joe title started off quite slowly, and has taken a while to build…but it has been building.
There are spoilers in this review, so click the “Read the rest of this entry” link below to check it out.
