Had to use photobucket. But here is a shot of the dogtags. I like the detail, but it looks like it fairly easily wears off.
I wanted to do a shot with a flag. And I remembered this one that my son made for my to hang in my office. He will be stoked to see his flag posted here at SSF.

Nice shots DC! Glad to finally see some good pix of him. Mine will be here today and I will be sure to post some too.

I was a little disappointed by the initial round of pics, in fact I was even wondering if I wanted Duke at all, but after seeing Dave and Cruel's pics with the helmet on I think it's just a matter of the day glow hair bringing the overall figure down a notch or two... Does anyone plan on giving the hair a brown wash to tone it down a bit? Looks like Sting with the helmet off out of the box...

I considered it, but in hand, it just doesn't bug me as much. My brother-in-law has the same kinda hair (Norwegian descent) so it's something I'm used to seeing. And using that pic of pre-EMO Sting should rekindle the awesomeness of this figure for you. The fact that it didn't is now a double-fail with cheese.
If Ric Flair offers Duke membership in the 4 Horsemen, he should turn it down, IMO. That never works out.
I wanted to post a couple of details. I was very curious about the Pro 1.2 so I stipped Duke. I like the new Pro. Even though the front looks sort of like the back, it really gives the costume a nice shape when it is together. I am only slightly disappointed about the veins not being there. Didn't the proto have veins sculpted on the forearms?
And a close-up of the head sculpt as well. I like that it appears that they detailed the bloodshot aspect of his eyes.
I have a couple of more shots, but the gallery has an attitude with me right now.
Nah, the forearms were smooth on the proto pics as well.
I do really like the abs/torso joints on the new Pro bodies. It works very well with the Anakin figure and has a much greater range of movement for crouching/bending poses.

Well, not sure about your Norwegian bother-in-law but Sting dyed his hair platinum blonde and that's how Duke looks to me... Like a dude who's dying his hair.
I think I'm either going to try to take the neon huge out or leave the helmet on.

Unless he wants his arms held by Barry Windham and Arn Anderson while the Nature Boy punches him over and over I'd agree...
Are you sure? I could have sworn the proto it had veins. I think we had that discussion back when the figure was announced.
Edit: I just went back to the first post for pics of the proto. It didnt have veins but it had muscle tone, it was not smooth.
That thing with Sting and Flair became a running gag in pro wrestling. Every couple years, Flair would go begging for Sting's help. After a few weeks, Sting would begrudgingly accept, saying "but if you try to screw me over Flair. . .!" Then of course, Flair would turn on Sting and kick him in the nuts or something, renewing their feud. 
Yeah, that is the thing that bugs me about the arms is the lack of any sculpted muscle definition other than just the general shape of the arms. It will look pretty stupid for characters with exposed arms.

New EMO ****** Sting. That never would've happened with the old Sting. The Crow has gone the way of the dodo, it's time for Sting's outdated persona to do the same. Now he just looks as ridiculous as ICP, but at least theirs is intentional being wicked clowns and all. Sting just looks like a clown.
Actually, the only Sting I recall that happening to was the blonde haired version. He was too trusting for his own good.
I did hate Crow Sting.

Fixed for accuracy. He's still milking that washed-up persona in TNA.

He was damn cool at one time... Crow Sting was a bad idea.

Here is another. The sun was coming in a window to my right front so the white balance sucks, but oh, well.

Thanks, Flosi! It is my favorite as well, so far. But I have a rock formation set up in my yard to get some outdoor shots when I get a chance that I think will be real cool as well. I freakin' washed the rocks and everything so I wouldn't get the figure's costume dirty.
