GI Joe Rise of Cobra Duke

Father and son can be a couple on Halloween and share a common childhood hero. ‘80s nostalgia fans and modern action fantasy movie buffs alike are rejoicing–all because G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra hit theaters this summer. Now you can bring the non-stop action home with your very own G.I. Joe Duke costume!

Duke, a.k.a. Conrad Hauser, is the lead solider on the G.I. Joe team after General Hawk and what boy (or man) doesn’t want to be team leader? In this movie, Duke’s on a mission to thwart a dastardly plan by Cobra to attack cities around the world with nanotechnology. The Joe who dons this suit doesn’t have to understand the intricacies of the villains’ plans, just know that being Duke means fighting bad guys in an ultra stylish way everywhere from Paris to the Artic!

The movie Duke costume is nothing like the plain army fatigues G.I. Joes have worn in the past. This sleek black helmeted “Delta 6 Accelerator” suit is said to be worth several billion dollars in the movie world—and your special little boy has been chosen to wear it to fight Cobra! Encourage your children to pretend they “run faster, jump higher, and hit harder than any of their enemies”—just make sure they don’t actually hit anything besides the pillows you tie up to stand in for Storm Shadow or the Cobra Commander.  And remember to tell your kids to follow Duke’s, not Ripcord’s example. G.I. Joes in these special suits can jump over a (pretend) train—so they don’t have to jump through it!

(Cloaking device, gattling guns, grappling gear, and cybernetic display not included. Except in Duke’s imagination!)

G.I. Joe Duke, your special ops mission is to track down candy this Halloween. The secret code is: “Trick or Treat!”
