Looks like it. This is the Duke that had a factory that chops air conditions in half just to release ozone layer depleting gas. Different goals between the Nukems.

Same year so it's a bit unclear who was first on the name. They've just agreed to both using it it seems.

First off, I didn't realize that this character's name was Duke Nukem (didn't watch a whole lot of Captain Planet when I was a kid). Second... man, those are terrific colors! Very early-90's. Third, how interesting that this figure was so different than the glow-in-the-dark version! Fourth - that sound effect! In a different toy that I had when I was a kid. It's going to drive me nuts if I can't figure out what it was. 😂 And finally, "Inanimate carbon rod," HA! 😂

All that considered I feel like he was worth the near $300 ...near... But I was deep in Captain Planet back then so I always wanted this one more than the glow in the dark. I would be very curious to learn of other figures with his sound effects also.

The mohawk change is absolutely perplexing. Red would also allow light through, but green was pretty rad in the 90's aka toxic waste. 🤔 Perpetuating that villian stereotype.. 😂

So close to being very show accurate, not sure why they tossed it away just for green style points. But he is what he is now. I don't like to alter them just to match the show, just keep them as they were released.

It's been a big grail figure for me for a while. Better colors and look than the glow in the dark, though that one is fun also.

I was born just after _Captain Planet_ was a thing in pop culture, but I find it a fascinating time capsule of early 1990s. That being said, I really like the designs for all these characters, particularly Duke Nukem's black suit look. This is quite a find. Apparently there's a lot of toylines that get European exclusives, even if the IP originated in the US. Rather odd, but hey, it's something. 😆

It must have started doing better in that market so they got a few extras. It was mostly about the ignorant USA member of the team being educated by the other members about these issues of pollution and other problems they already knew about from their own countries. That part may not have thrilled people in the actual USA. I just always liked the idea of the powers and looks of the characters, and learning about the pollution and issues was just bonus, like the lessons at the end of He-Man and Mr. Rogers.

@@MBXfilms Ah yes, Wheeler. I don't think it was fair that he was "idiot" character, when the other Planeteers could've been learning as they go, all starting from the same point of ignorance, if you will. Yeah, I've always thought _Captain Planet_ was a great idea, but despite it's heart being in the right place, I feel the execution of the show is a bit lacking. I agree, though, with the He-Man and Mr. Rogers comparison, but I think those structured their messages better.

Crazy that here in Greece all we had was this, not the dark clothed one. I'm not familiar with the US version at all. Also, European figures were produced by Tiger, the same company that made the handheld LCD games.

Yes usually the packaging says Tiger Electronics. This one strangely has Kenner so they must have got involved at some point. I feel Europe got a great figure though the glow is nice also.
