Notes

• One of the interesting things about the Duke minifigure, is that there are three versions. On the bios on LEGO.com, Duke is seen in his third version, but is also named as Duke with three other faces. It may be that they are different miners accidentally tagged as Duke.
• If you look closely at the symbol shown on their torso pieces, Duke (in all three versions) has a drill, while Brains has a beaker, Rex has a Bomb, and Doc has a star.
  • The first version of Duke features some facial hair with large eyebrows.
  • The second version features several scars and a large uni-brow.
  • In the third version, Duke is seen with his whole face hidden by what looks to be dirt, but still features a uni-brow. This version is most often mentioned as Duke, and appears more frequently than the other two.
• Another interesting fact about Duke is that he appears twice in the set 8709 Underground Mining Station in his first and second version.
• Duke's second version is currently the only Power Miner whose hair color is confirmed as dark brown.
• The Third Version is the only version that appeared in the 2010 Power Miners sets.
