Destro Gold Head (PDD SDCC Exclusive)
ITEM #: 63466 In 1982 Hasbro introduced a new line of products that changed the landscape of boys action figures: G.I. JOE A REAL AMERICAN HERO … which quickly became one of the most memorable toy lines of the 1980s. Not only is Hasbro commemorating the 25th anniversary with the release of a special edition series of A REAL AMERICAN HERO figures, but they are bringing you one of the coolest convention exclusives ever! There was a time when 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 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. At Comic-Con 2007, he'll be available in two versions for your viewing and collecting enjoyment, so grab both of them while you can!

I hate the fact that there are so many people out there who have this figure, and I don't.

That's what I'm saying. I was happy to pay $9.99 to get one from Hasbro Toy Shop, heck, I was willing to pay $49.99 when they first teased us with the AFA grading.
A friend of mine went to SDCC with orders to pick both these up for me while she was there. Needless to say they were sold out long before she got there on the weekend.

I am happy enough with my silver headed one I got from ebay, though the gold is cooler. Maybe it's just imaginary since it's worth more.....

How much were these worth at Comic-Con? And were there any requirements/limits to buy one?
And I wonder what this year's Comic-Con exclusive will be.

They were $9.99 at comic-con but I heard they sold out before most people even knew about them.
I spotted the silver one on HTS about a week later for the same price and at least got him. These 25th Variants (Gold Destro, Yellow Stalker, Black Timber) are nothing but a pain.
