Could somebody tell me what the difference is. Is it just the helmet with holes?

Thanks

Are you talking about the difference between the mail-away vs. the carded Duke V1?

If so, the mail away also came with an American flag decal for his chest.

Yeah, that's what I mean. So a sticker and the holes in his helmet then? Also the file card I guess. Thanks

yep those and the sleeves.. some had the rolled down sleeves. The early ones I think, so it would be the mail away one.

I'm no Duke expert but the original pair consisted of Bo & Luke Duke.

Later, to somes shagrin, Vance Duke and someone else moved into town.

Can anyone remember Vance's brother?

The Duke with the rolled down sleeves was available in Japan and I'm told also late in the US line, but I personally have never seen one MOC.

There are a lot of small changes made to Duke along the way. The mail-in version came with the flag on his shoulder at first. That was the earliest version. The early mail-in file card had a close-up of his face while later mail-ins showed more of the figure's picture. This is similar to the file that was available in the store. I think there is an old thread about this with images if you look back a few months.

This is true. My Duke was the 1984 US carded version and has the Japanese sleeves. And also the slim head, and Cobra waist.

You don't remember about the slim head/fat head variant we discussed on the Pit mailing list a few years back?
