"The man's a walking legend! He's got more combat experience than some of those generals in the Pentagon! Duke's the kind of grunt you want to have right by your side when the going gets rough! He can assess any hostile situation with lightning speed and act upon it quicker than you can say 'Tiger Force!' The man doesn't know the meaning of the word fear! In fact, I don't think he has ever heard of the word at all!"

Of the 10 Tiger Force Joes, 8 were pure repaints. Skystriker and Duke were a mix of a couple previous figures' parts.
Most of Duke is a repaint of the 1984 original, while his arms came from Hit & Run and his crotch from a Cobra Officer.
