Ten years ago, DESTRO briefly replaced his bad-to-the-bone suit with a very flamboyant outfit: dark and deadly DESTRO was now dressed in leopard skin. The unusual deco was given the go ahead for production, and a few hundred of these garish guys made it into the world before Hasbro honchos decided the deco was too over-the-top. The colors were toned down, and DESTRO was back to his usual black-clad badness. Because those leopard-skin figures are almost impossible to find, we've decided to give you a treat!
(We're bringing him back, just as briefly as before, for his tenth anniversary)
I'm an avid Destro fan. I own over 90+ Iron Grenadiers. I actually saw PDD hanging on a TRU shelf in the Bronx, NY many years ago...and I still can't find myself needing and/or wanting this figure. A great homage, and one that I'm sure attendees will be happy with. That being said, I'm glad that this is one exclusive I don't have to worry about getting. As said elsewhere, my "exclusive" money is better spent on this year's BotCon set.
Figure actually looks cool in my opinion, just not sure that I want to spend money for one, and I really don't need another Destro. I've got one leading the Iron Grenadiers, got one in Cobra High Council, and got one of the new ones on pre-order with the Cobra 5 pack, so I think that's enough.
