Maybe we will finally get a Dr. Venom figure.  At least with the lab coat you could cover the waist piece.  I think that is the final figure from the early comics that went unproduced.

Ugh. There's nothing worse than a bulky v-crotch waistpiece. It does slightly resemble a diaper.

I don't know. I think it would be hard to make a Duke figure people like since, for reasons I still don't understand, a lot of people seem to have a hate on for him. I like Duke and while his outfit is on the generic side, I think this is a decent new spin on him. Looks like the gun comes out of his holster which is nice. Now if the helmet doesn't come off then that would make him craptacular.

Based on the shadow between the helmet and head, I say the helmet comes off.

People have a hate on for Duke from the cartoon.  Not me.  I just hate these type of waist pieces so far shown.  Save them for Star Wars.

I can deal with the crotches. A big step up from the "T" crotches.

Stormy doesn't look that bad, but it does look kinda big/bulky on the skinny Duke figure.

Looks great, but at the same time I don't feel crazy about it. His head looks like Bobby Hill.

Duke can be cool.
Look in the  latest comics, he's kind of a badass.

Now who shall be revealed tomorrow? Beachhead, Snake Eyes, a cobra ?

Duke is up. Oh man, I hate this one. I just can't stand those diapers.  Sigh. And the face doesn't scream Duke.   This is clearly a step down from SS.

Thanks for the post! i just couldnt wait to see it...
(is good to live outside U.S.)  ;D

Condering I am mod without any powers (I can't edit), don't quote with the image I originally post from that site.  I doubt they know this site exists but I am not taking a chance. I am taken it down once and replacing it once the official GI JOE one is posted.  I am covering my ass here.

Edit.  Thanks Ed.
