One of the great things that came out of the New Sculpt years, particularly during Valor Vs Venom, was the Toys R Us 6-packs. These sets took vintage Joes and repainted them into new sub-teams. The Heavy Assault Squad was the last of these packs to be released. Unfortunately, the original set was lacking. The figures themselves were pretty good (except for a few strange parts choices), but the team had no heavy weapons and included Snake Eyes and 3 Greenshirts.

Duke's inclusion in the original set makes sense once we realize that it was not originally supposed to be the ''Heavy Assault Squad''. It seems it was originally planned as a covert squad on a mission to rescue Ace from Cobra. Somewhere along the line, it got changed. Still, since I like the deco and I was making Roadblock anyway, I thought it would be fun to make Duke as well. I tried to replicate the colors as best I could. Since the Heavy Assault Squad does not exist in my Joe-verse, Duke will be displayed on my Night Force shelf.
