GI Joe Classified | Duke (Retro) | Action Figure Review

Ойын-сауық

Welcome to the latest MoDXtra: Games & Collectibles action figure review. In this instalment we're taking a look at the new G.I. Classified Series Retro Duke figure.
April's arrived and it's gone barmy for figure pre-orders! GI Joe Classified is no exception and Duke here one of many that's going to be hitting the channel in the coming weeks.
Technically speaking I don't know if these "Retro Card Backed" GI Joe figures can actually be "Classified", but I suppose I categorize them as such. I'm definitely pumped about a retro Duke in the 6 inch line because I'm keen to have some man-child play time fun re-creating my favourite GI Joe scenes from the comics and cartoons - and this figure fits the bill for that perfectly!
This is a THOROUGH review. It will involve an overall view of Duke, and then some detailed thoughts around his aesthetic, articulation, and accessories. (My action figure review Triple A's LOL). I'd usually include an unboxing - but watch the vid and I'll explain what happened with that!
Its exciting to have a continued focus on GI Joe Classified on the channel, and its my hope that if you've been thinking of picking up a Duke of your own my thorough review will help you make your decision.
YO JOE!

    The more figures we get with boot knives, the more I kind of wish it was implemented into the actual boot, a la He-Man. I'm all for holsters, sheaths and straps, but I don't think a lot of people are strapping knives to their boots in that way. - I'm dangerously close to just finding things to complain about, after we've been spoiled with the best of what Hasbro has to offer for so long.

    Ha! Yeah, as time goes on the smaller things stand out more and more. Like Big Boa's pins, or the repeated PIA approach to the straps n'all that. I'm still waiting for more colour on the backpacks as standard LOL

    Chris, another terrific in-depth review. I never connected to Duke as a kid. But this is a great looking figure and happy to have him in my collection. Keep the videos coming

    If anyone dares complain about the audio issue you had with this unboxing and review video,you should personally unsubscribe them because it was no big deal at all.😂😂😂 Another great video Chris chin up mate👍👍👍

    In a weird way its been a blessing in disguise - its made me realise that I'm maybe spending too long on the unboxing section of the vids! :)

    Excellent video and review Chris. I’m not a big fan of Duke, but this figure is just right for kit bashing. I’ve changed the headsculpt and the helmet, removed the cross belt, added a new flak jacket and weapons. I now have a different squad leader. 19:12

    I appreciate the review, Chris. My retro Duke is supposed to arrive today. This was one of those core characters from the cartoon that I wanted to get, but had to settle for the Tiger Force version. Your review definitely confirms my decision to pick him up! As an aside, your Quick Kick review also pushed me over the edge, and he's supposed to arrive today as well. I'll be honest, I probably watched your QK review three times trying to decide because I've been more selective with which figures I pick up (budget and space constraints.)

    You bet Curtis. that's really cool feedback actually, because one of my "things" is being thorough in a way that helps people make a purchase decision, so I'm loving your comment! Although - should I maybe review a few more negatively for a bit? Save your wallet? ;)

    That's okay past Chris doesn't need audio he pretty much told the whole story with his hand movements.

    Solid review Chris! I like the retro Duke but don’t love him. Something about his is a pinch off. Maybe the face leans more animated vs real… pale shirt & skin blend a bit much….. or maybe I’m just used to classified v1 too much! 🤷🏼‍♂️ Great stuff though! Looking forward to the next one! Cheers!

    I could def see how someone could interpret this fig as having a more "animated" vibe to it for sure. I actually failed to mention it in the review but it was something I observed - it's even in my notes but I missed it when recording LOL! Choice is good though, and this just means there's a Duke out there for both of us!
