Description

G.I. Joe Duke AFA 80 (Hasbro, 1984). As the field leader and moral compass of G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero, Duke embodied courage, discipline, and the ideal soldier's spirit. Introduced in Series 3 on a 32-Back card, this 1984 release marked the first individually carded version of the character after his mail-away debut the previous year. His figure quickly became the line's anchor point, setting the tone for leadership and loyalty across the team's expanding roster. Duke's influence stretched far beyond the toy aisles, becoming a fixture in the Sunbow animated series and Marvel Comics, where his calm authority and unshakable principles defined the Joe ethos. This figure graded AFA 80 NM, with subgrades of C85 B85 F75. A cornerstone of the vintage G.I. Joe line, Duke remains one of Hasbro's most iconic and enduring heroes - a battle-tested symbol of leadership who led the charge for generations of fans. His legacy continues to inspire collectors and soldiers of fortune alike, proving that honor, duty, and grit never go out of style. Yo Joe!
