Looking real forward to having to launch my body like a dolphin over drifts of this stupid thing on my way into Ollie's by Fall.

Just remember as far as the actual flag and colors go, we will half mast it for a podcaster, but not our children and troops.

Love French colors Duke. Pretty cool they're giving France rep.

How about Hasbro give us a French national Joe to join the team and he comes with a "pet".........the Cheese Eating Surrender Monkey!!!!!

That would have been funnier years ago before France became more of a stand tall country compared to the US.

 

[WrathofTaco]

I'd be completely open to a French resistance fighter type character. They could come with a red white and blue G.I. Joe branded guillotine.

I wish there was a market for red white and blue guillotines coming up.

I have enough good will with this line that instead of being absolutely disgusted I just kinda want to hold up MAGADuke at them and go "Dude, really?" and just leave it at that. Probably because I find this Duke to be just a really dumb, badly timed repaint, versus the cops who were like, elegantly crafted, lovingly detailed copaganda that was supposed to go on sale the day an LA cop shot a reporter in the head with a rubber bullet dressed exactly like the action figure.

At least Red White and Duke a) lends him self to SO many mocking names and b) looks silly instead of realistic.

He just looks like a Starduster recolor. Because that's what starduster was... Whatever.

Starduster is just John Hamm in Duke's pants and I'm fine with that.

 

[Ru1977]

A lot of people are apparently fine with Jon Hamm getting in their pants.

For anyone else that has the Cobra-La Royal Guard - are the knee joint detents SUPER tight between the lower legs and the knees. I warmed them up in hot water to hopefully loosen them a bit and they're still a bear to move. And they really click when you're moving them, audibly.

Maybe Hasbro can get bold enough to produce a “Sgt. Savage and his Screaming Eagles” subline where they could include one.

 

[Ru1977]

Eventually I'll get around to Screaming Eagle week in the One A Day thread...

 

[WrathofTaco]

Or an Oops! All Tropes subline, we already have a pretty rad cowboy on the way there are plenty of parts to make a generic boxer, an ace pilot, a mad bomber or twelve...

Even a slightly disgruntled bomber.
