Body Construction
Duke (v13) has an entirely new body sculpt. No body parts were used in the making of other figures, but Duke (v16) (2004) had a nearly identical design, without the Action Attack features.
Duke (v13) featured nunchuck swinging action, activated by a button on the figure's back. The figure did not have O-ring construction or a back screw due to this feature.
