I've discovered that Model Masters "Steel" is a perfect match for the silver on the 50th Anniversary Destro if you need to do any touch-ups! You can get it at Hobby Lobby.
Revision: it is a perfect match for the warmer silver of the gauntlets, not the head. . . .

OK, so I finished tweaking my 50th Destro:
Unaltered 50th, my tweaked 50th, and 25th DVD pack (with holster added) The holster seen here are one of my old sculpts that used to be available from Hunter Artworks.

I cant believe people are making such a fuss. I have got several figures from the store and ebay so far and nothing wrong with them of course Im not taking a microscope to each and every joint like some here do.

Does the boiling method work for vehicles too? I know that seems odd to ask but the bottom of my Snow Wolf is warped and won't stay attached to the top half.

I ended up touching up the streaky arms and neck on my DATD Flint.
Had a hell of a time trying to match the skin tone. Didn't get it 100% matched, but close enough. Ended up adding a lot of flat yellow and bit of flat red to a basic skin tone. Used Model Color acrylics by Vallejo. Overall I'm really happy with how it turned out, especially since this was my first ever attempt at painting part of a G.I. Joe figure. |

Your "tweaked" Destro looks great. What did you do to fix his knees.

That is one massive holster! looks factory tho. I don't own that figure,so I'd have never known he's been tweaked,that's a good thing IMO.I still see a strong resemblance to labia with that collar on destro,justsayin.

I agree with this 100%. They are toys after all.

Unscrew the legs and heat the knees with a hair dryer. (DO NOT HEAT WHILE THE THIGHS ARE SCREWED ON! IT WILL WARP THEM!!!) Once the knee pieces are good and hot put the thighs back on, hold in proper place, and dunk in cold water for 20 seconds to set. They are flexible plastic so they will still feel floppy, but they will no longer be bowed in.
