This Duke figure contains 11 character-inspired accessory pieces including helmet, binoculars, alternate closed-fist hands, backpack, knife, peg stand, and weapon accessories. Duke was fluent in French, German, and English when he enlisted. Graduated top of his class at airborne school. Broadened his polyglot status in Special Language School focusing on Asian and South East Asian dialects. After running four different Special Forces schools Duke turned down a commission to serve as acting First Sergeant of G.I. Joe.
