G.I.JOE RETALIATION DUKE KITBASH

After kit bashing Dwayne “the Rock” Johnson as Roadblock from G.I.Joe Retaliation movie, I finally got the chance to see the film. This inspired me to make another kit bash of a G.I.Joe character base from the movie. As the former team leader of the Joe’s, I feel that Duke deserves his very own figure. Channing Tatum played the role of Duke from the first movie Rise of Cobra and the resent G.I.Joe Retaliation. Base from the first movie, Conrad Hauser A.K.A. Duke is a former Special Forces Captain. He was later on recruited by G.I.Joe’s commander General Hawk. After the events of the first movie Duke then became the field leader of the Joe team. In an attack issued by fake President Zartan, Duke together with most of his men were KIA. Leaving his friend Roadblock and a handful of Joe’s to face the wrath of Cobra Commander.
