Too small a frame maybe with a TTM20 upgrade so that a classic open Chest pose can be achieved. Neck too long arms to small weak clothing design compared to hot toys stuff props to you Kato. Sorry just think for the price and what he's suppose to be or at least what more could have been done. .. (no left hand to hold a briefcase. .sad)..total lazy design pass pass paaasssssss.

Oh and if I'm wrong look at the hot toys dark knight rises Bane's clothing intricacy...badass. Look at the joker 2.0 it's an accessory treasure trove nothing left out there. (still stuck on no case carrying left hand). Sideshow deals with hot toys all the time not sure why this looks soo skimpy/cheap.... just saying. If you like it awesome, for the money I expect more.
Destro looks as he should, which is what I wanted. He can emulate the classic look, yet he maintains a modern flair. Destro is a weapons dealer, and I think his gear fits the bill. He's a relaxed businessman, and his clothing reflects pure utility, as he'd have to travel anywhere Cobra needs him to travel to. I really like the use of underarmor and it feels like something Destro in real life would use. His weapons are quite practical and intimidating. The IMI Desert Eagle is the most powerful semi-automatic handgun in the world. That means quite a bit. His laser gun is also nice and I love the gimmick. He appears to have few accessories...and well he does. However the strength of his accessories is powerful. The briefcase is layered with badass and I'm in love with it. I mean he isn't without faults...yes, he definitely needed a left hand gripping sculpt and could've used a few more things but I have no real issues with his proportions. It makes him stand out really well and I'm pretty proud to have him in my collection. As for the Hot Toys comparison? Apples and oranges. Yeah they've done GI Joe stuff but nothing I'm too interested in. Sideshow stands strong on their own and I'm okay with them not being HT quality for the fact that their product isn't bad at all and actually pretty damn good. I used to collect 1/6th a lot. I was there when Dragon models put out their first German, and when I was in the "game" Hot Toys wasn't even born as a company yet. I've seen the gamut of quality and Sideshow makes some damn good stuff. |

Thank you Cobra Stickers for this. It isn't a perfect solution but a solution I'm very satisfied with.

I got mine last week and finally have time to sit down with it. When it was revealed I didn't really like the decision on the primary head. Looked like one of DC's metal men, and the exclusive looked like something from Red Dwarf. But I bought it anyway to have Destro in my collection. The uniform choice didn't bother me. Now that I have it in hand I like both heads, not sure what one i will display with. The expression on the reg isn't as bad as photos make it look. I actually think I like it better than the exc. That being said maybe making Destro look realistic is harder in 1/6 than it appears.

The box seems to be a bit taller than the other Joe boxes. I think it's the same size as the Star Wars boxes.
