''A special GI JOE team fights to save the venomized victims of DR. MINDBENDER and COBRA COMMANDER! This ANTI-VENOM TASK FORCE seeks out the fierce hybrids and sprays them with a serum that changes them back to normal!''

One of the great things that came out of the New Sculpt years, particularly during Valor Vs Venom, was the Toys R Us 6-packs. These sets took vintage Joes and repainted them into new sub-teams. The Anti-Venom Squad was one of the coolest from that run in my opinion. The colors were realistic yet bright, gear and character choices were good and the ''Steel Brigade-ish'' helmets were an awesome new addition. For my versions of the characters, I tried to keep all these cool elements intact while fixing a few of the small flaws of the set.

Duke was pretty straight forward. I used the 25th anniversary torso and surrounded it with more recent parts. Even if if does not get a lot of love, the 25th Duke torso is still the closest look to vintage accurate that has been produced so far. I went with the rolled up sleeves look of classic Duke rather than the strange long sleeves from the o-ring Anti-Venom version . I also gave him his V1 gear.
