Quick Dusty Review



Character: This was my favorite GIJoe when I was a kid, I remember begging one of my good friends to give him to me and he Finally did and I was ecstatic. I still have his original and think he is awesome. In my play he wasnt such a goof ball like he was in the cartoon.

Figure: This may sound weird... he has more potential than any 25th GIJoe, but he is kinda lame out of the box. Let me explain, first off his camo is lame and nothing like his original camo which was more of a chocolate chip camo. Also his boots and stuff used to be black which looked way better. His helmet is kinda weird as is his cloth which isnt nearly as cool as the original one. Mine is also missing his straps which makes him boring... which is where the real problem is, he is just... bland. That said with a repaint and a little bit of customizing he could be fantastic! He has an extra swivel joint at his waist which is pretty awesome and makes a few more poses possible. I think If I paint him, add some knee pads to him, perhaps replace his helmet and swap his head with a Hawk head and he will be pure gold. Until then he is just... ok. No where nearly as awesome as the OG.
