You forgot Wild Bill, who would probably get my vote.

There's such as thing as too eccentric, Bill. Cavalry hat was cool, but the historical re-enactor look for modern combat?

That said, there were no terrible figures there, just some things to nitpick. Duke's got a bigger nose now and wears tan and red camo, Wet-Suit has a mullet, Barricade a goofy expression, Mutt has doggie chew bones sculpted on his vet, Ace's colors aren't hot, Gung Ho's tattoo shrank, and so on...

Duke because he's Duke.

A lot of nice updates here like Roadblock & Spirit.

Pretty much why I picked Duke.

I look at these figures and I can't for the life of me figure out why people hate the 90s figures. None of these were overly bright and most were pretty original designs. Even Duke isn't a bad figure. The mold looked better in 01, though.

Somebody voted for Big Bear on here!??! :-(

There were no shortage of contenders. Wild Bill, Wet-Suit, Spirit, several others did NOT receive improved versions on this year. Roadblock, on the other hand WAS a vast improvement, certainly over the 1986 version.

But I had to go with Duke. The uniform design was uninspired, and the headsculpt was horrible, with a poorly-detailed crewcut and a nose that arrives five minutes before the rest of him. I actually redid the hair on mine with resin putty, and filed down the nose to more plausible proportions.

Duke's one of those characters that deserves better treatment. But on this year, between him and Destro -- :-/

Went with Duke here. Mostly due to the coloration, the fact we just had an awesome Duke in 91, & that he only came with two accessories of any use; his helmet & knife. The mold is pretty good as we saw in 2000/2001.

I really don't have a problem with any of these figures. If Wild Bill had been on the list, I would have chosen him, but I still don't dislike the figure. I ended up choosing Barricade because of the stupid expression on his face, even though I really like the figure overall.

I never liked Gung-Ho's torso, so I'm going with him.

S'funny because I ended up with about 15+ of the ARAHC 2-packs with Leatherneck. I mostly set the torso aside and put the Leatherneck torso on the Gung-Ho waist/legs.

I also seem to have gotten several of the 92 Gung-Ho and the red torso version. I probably will just use the torso for a mercenary squad.

Crap, I forgot Wild Bill indeed. :-/
I chose Wet Suit, because of the weird helmet.
