The Life-like G.I. JOE Figure That's Ready for Battle
The Accelerator Suit Duke figure is a little over a foot tall and is outfitted with a plastic, hard-core suit that covers his entire body. His head and arms are animated, and he has a "talking" mouth.

The figure is also armed with four weapons, so he's prepared for any action-packed battle that he and your child might run into. With a flip of his helmet visor, the action figure will even go into Night Operations mode.

Accelerator Suit Duke is also armed with "Smart" technology--all of his extensive sounds are set to the individual mode or weapon he is using at that time. The life-like figure can also run or walk by the handle in his back being pumped repeatedly.

Role-playing and Interactive Fun
This action figure has a lot of role-playing and interactive fun to offer an adventurous child with it's bright lights, movement, sounds, and general animation. Loaded with four different weapons including guns and spears, this action figure will have your child leaving home on many adventure-filled "secret missions."

As a bit of a warning, Accelerator Suit Duke's voice and sounds are quite loud--which is great for exciting playtime--but probably not for designated quiet times, such as naps.

What's in the Box

My 6 year old son just received this for his birthday. It is a really cool toy. It does more than I thought a toy could do. He is having a blast. He sleeps with this thing. I have no complaints. I would buy it again and will look for more items like this. All his little friends oohed and aahed over this at the party.
Nice toy, but can be made a nice adult collectible too!

Reviewer: Joseph M. Vottis, Schenectady, New York United States
I am an adult that collects 1/6 scale figures and I rework them to gain greater accuracy for adult display. (Some of course, like the Hot Toys figures, are already adult collectibles and need no work). The figure in question is a very sophisticated toy and impressive for adult collectors. However, it has a handle coming out of the back of the figure. This allows the kids to hold the handle and adds "play value," but kills the realism of the figure (real people don't have handles sticking out their backs). So, if you buy it for your kid, tell him or her to have fun. But it looks to me to be too fragile for much rough play! However, if you are an adult collector, here is what you can do about that annoying, realism-destroying handle sticking out of the figure's back: There are no electronics in the handle so no worries there. Rotate the handle upward, just like the instructions advise for locking the legs for "posing," the figure. Now...just unscrew the four tiny screws on the handle and it comes off. It is not irreversible if you change your mind. Now you have a small, white plastic piece sticking out the back with a small hole in it. This is perfect for screwing to a small stand you can easily fashion out of some scrap, sanded wood.

My 5 year old son circled this on his wish list. I wasn't sure about spending almost $[...] on a toy like this but I decided to let it be one of his "big" Christmas gifts. He looked at it once and that was it. He hasn't played with it at all but I really think that's because he's just too young for it. We are storing it until he is a little older. I looked at the features of this toy and I think it is really great and would be lots of fun for an older child. The mouth moves when you press the button for him to talk, his legs move in a running motion, and the gun shoots what looks like rubber arrow bullet type things. If you have an older kid I think they would love this and I have high hopes my son will grow into it. It seems very durable and will hopefully last a long time once the heavy playtime begins.

Our 3 year old grandson loves this toy. He is the envy of his friends. It is very noisy.

Reviewer: Mother Hen,
He shoots projectiles, makes sounds, his legs "run," the barrel on his machine gun makes full rotations, and his lips move when he talks. This is hard-core cool for boys 10 and under.
