I was wondering if anyone had any ideas about what we can do with our Comic Pack Destros after making that pretty sweet head swap. I think most of us agree that by making the head swap it does justice to both figures by making them look better. It makes your V1 destro look more like his 1983 ARAH counterpart, and it makes the Comic Pack Destro just look a little less uglier. So now what can or should we do with him?
I was thinking of painting him crimson like the 1997 15th anniversary Destro. The only problem is that I have never customized a figure with paints before. The closest I've come to it is by using paint markers. I'm no Picaso by any means. I leave the customs to the experts on here. A member by the name of kimiyo made an Artic Destro with a white coat out of his Comic Pack Destro. Here is the link to that thread... http://www.hisstank.com/forum/showth...t=artic+destro One last thing I will say about the head swaping is that as much as I love the shiney metallic mask, I never liked it on the original 1983 figure because I thought his head was way too big. My favorite Destro figure was the 1992 Destro because his head size and the look of his mask more closely resembled what he looked like on the cartoon to me... http://www.yojoe.com/action/92/destro3.shtml Last edited by Scoop; 03-13-2008 at 12:15 AM.. |

I figured: I want to practice making customs, I've got a figure that I'm not using and has minimal resale value - let's risk ruinig it and try taking it apart. So I did. Now I'm feeling a lot more confident of my ability to disassemble the Joes (ooh, someone needs to make a Number 5 toy!).
Next is to try various paint tests on the parts. |
