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.

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.

This was definately a great buy! My grandson loves it. We were very pleased with the quality and parts that came with it. My grandson is six years old and plays with it all the time. Very cool G.I. Joe gift.

I bought this GI Joe for my nephew for his 8th birthday. He absolutely loved it. This guy has all the bells and whistles, my husband wanted to keep it for himself, lol. It even came with a poster!

Bought this GI Joe Movie Ultimate Duke Figure through amazon.com on Cyber Monday, so got it for a very fair price... shipping included. I had not seen the toy previously, but was looking for an action figure and decided that my 7-year old Grandson might enjoy playing with this particular toy. It was mailed quite promptly (received it within 3-days), and so, we gave it to JP for Christmas. Gosh, does he ever like it! Told me that it was his favorite toy that he got for Christmas. JP's endorsement carries lots of weight -- considering all that Santa left beheath "The Tree." The item seems to be well built, as it already has survived several "toy battles" that have been fought among JP and his brothers. I definitely do recommend this product, and am extremely pleased with amazon.com's handling and shipping of my purchase. Thank you!

This was the hit of the year! I always have to guess with my grandsons, I have 3 in the same age range and I usually get them each the same thing for Christmas. All three loved this GI Joe figure, and some of the parents had to be reminded that this was for their son. GI Joe Movie Ultimate Duke Figure

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.

My five year old son got this as a present and loves it. It seems fairly well put together and has a bunch of great features. The only downside, and I count this as a serious one, is the lack of a volume control. The vocals and sounds coming from this are LOUD! Despite that, my son has a great time with it; we just direct him to the far side of the house -- and we can still hear it from there...

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