Comments: As America's most elite fighting squadron, the G.I.JOE team requires its special operations forces to be well-prepared for taking on the terrorist group COBRA in any environment, no matter how harsh or unforgiving it may be. Fortunately, when it comes to tracking down enemies in the vast, sweltering expanses of the desert, they know to turn to Ronald Tadur. After growing up in Las Vegas, Nevada, Tudar's days were spent keeping things cool as a refrigerator repairman and his evenings studying desert ecology. Tadur believed his skills in the desert could be a valuable asset to the JOE team, and after basic training, he adopted the code name DUSTY and has been fighting alongside his fellow American heroes ever since.
While Dusty's training might seem too specific for most military units, his knowledge of sandy, barren environments comes in handy. Even COBRA has gone great lengths to employ their own series of VIPERS and soldiers who are specially trained in desert combat. It's during these missions that Dusty's experience could be the deciding factor between victory and defeat.
Sideshow Collectibles’ Dusty figure was announced on October 1st, 2010, and fully revealed right here on CTR on October 5th. It went up for pre-order two days later, on October 7th, 2010. The figure started shipping directly to collectors in May 2011.
