Duke (2008 DVD Battles)
Okay folks, it’s Indepedence Day in the US, and this post is as close as I get to a day off. Since covering a Captain America figure would strain the premise of the blog, I found a Joe with an American flag. Good enough.
How many Joes over the years have been depicted in mid-scream? Not enough as far as I’m concerned. I thought Jetpack Duke or DVD Battles Duke weren’t colorful enough, so here are some alternate names for the figure:
Screaming Duke
Yelling Duke
Hollerin’ Duke
Caterwauling Duke
Downright Miffed Duke
Selena Left Me for the Hooded Executioner Duke
Scarlett Left Me for Snake Eyes Duke (Sunbow Only)
Just Saw Doc in His Asbestos Underwear Duke
Highly Cheesed Off Duke
Got the Beans Above the Frank Duke
Just Got a Charleyhorse Duke
More Than a Little PO’ed Duke
Conniption Fit Duke
Stuck Pig Duke
Gargling Duke
Visible Uvula Duke
Last Time I Saw a Mouth Like That it had a Hook in it Duke
Jetpack Harness is Riding Up on Me Duke
Got a few yourself? Let’s hear ’em in the comments!
“Let me see your war face” Duke
Ah! Ah! Ah!
“Orgasm Face” Duke
Yodeling Duke
Turn-and-Cough Duke
You know, you could’ve looked at the 25th Anniversary single-carded jetpack Duke.
it doesn’t have that awesome “Yo Joe!!” screaming headsculpt though… true, it’s has far better colors but than this one but the facial expression simply rules here.
True, but then I would have had to write a real entry. Needed an easy post for the holiday. 🙂
Fair enough. Then again, there is the V1 Sgt. Slaughter (USA logo).
Hey this Duke doesn’t have Duke arms Duke!
Since the one I have has a slight variation of a particular point in a notable part of the paint application, mine has been called since day 1 “Got-Milk(!) Duke”.
Looks pretty much like he’s mid expletive of the “f” variety there, doesn’t it?
There was never all this fuss with Screaming Grunt (1991).
My new band is totally called “Screaming Grunt”… or was that “Taking a Screaming Grunt”?
Honestly, that guy just has the expression that says he’s in the middle of taking one, so… yeah.
Sorry, absolutely couldn’t resist.
Wildman Duke
“TEH END OF THE LINE!!! Duke” (scream it if you mean it)
If it’s a figure they’re going to make a million versions of, I’m okay with an unusual face. Otherwise, I prefer that halcyon-induced blank expression on my figures to fit all occasions.
How about “I just soiled my pants” Duke?
Where is the bathroom!?
“Figure Shall Sucketh if Mouth Openeth Duke.”
“A Snake just bit my heart” Duke.
Followed by “I just slipped into a coma” Duke.
“just saw snake eyes and scarlett making out duke”
