When I received my SDCC Destro two pack in the mail and opened it, I was amazed by how perfect the "modern" Destro was, he is probably one of the most accurate movie figures. But two things bothered me. His helmeted head looks depressed and his jacket is too bulky in the front. I made a new masked head by dremeling the hair off my spare unmasked Destro head. I painted it gunmetal with silver drybrushing as in the movie the mask did not look chrome. The new head looks more serious and less like he's about to cry. For the jacket, I sliced off the vest pieces, glued them together and dremeled them flatter and glued the vest pieces directly to the torso. |

Saw this guy at a collector place. Though for a second about getting him but thought "nah". He's way too much, and don't usually like to buy toys I know I'll never want to open.
custom looks really good

You're right I'm not fond of customs, although some custom work is great. This custom work is good but not to my liking. And truth be told, the origianl mask is more movie accurate then the custom. If you recall the mask never fitted to his face but rather looked like a metal mask. the custom looks like a silver/grey painted head, not a metallic mask.

I love it. I wish I could afford the extra maskless Destro so you could make me one.
