my first reaction is that looks pretty bad. if that's what we have to look forward to with sideshow I might be selling off everything I already have.

I felt all along Destro was going to be a polarizing figure like Firefly was. I knew he was going to not be close to his classic look. He just couldn't be in Sideshow's established renditions. Zartan didn't have his bare six pack right? I saw no reason why Destro would have a big exposed chest after that. So the lack of a classic look is no surprise to me.
That said, I have to say I too am initially disappointed based on this teaser. The teasers usually are never the best view/idea of the full figure though. I fully expect him to have an alternate head we're not seeing yet. Just about all Joes have for the last few figures now and all of the DC figures are too. I think that's going to be a new standard for non-film based figures from Sideshow. So he could still have a different designed chromed dome. I think going with something closer to his Resolute look would have been a better choice IMO. Its more realistic (thus fitting in with Sideshow's view) and certainly better looking than what we're seeing here so far. I'm holding judgment until I see the full figure next week. I do feel this will really test the ELITE'S commitment to the line :lol |

I like this but I'm waiting for the Premium Format Destro.

Man I think most of you guys are crazy. He looks amazing. Bare chest?! Really? That would look ridiculous! Glad sideshow went this route.

I predict "Ultimate Destro" coming in 2014 as part of the follow up line to Retaliation.

I will wait until we see a full reveal next week but so far not thrilled. I like my Destro mask to be more solid not appear to be panels. I am okay with the change of clothing. I hope we get some traditional weapons but expect the briefcase to be decked out with the latest SMG, small grenades, and cool gear.
Price may be a factor. SE was pricy but I accepted it for Timber although my inability to pose Timber makes me wish it was a cheaper set. Major Bludd has a lot of accessories shown so hopefully SSC delivers. CC was an impulse pre-order.... Disgruntled quite a bit that pre-order for Baroness was supposed announced to begin last October. Latest is that a female body takes more time. Seriously? More than one brand of suitable bodies are available to emulate. My biggest debate is who is going to get boxed into storage, my shelves big enough to display them are full. I am leaning towards the two desert Cobras, and the Ninja from SDCC. |

Baroness will be another SDCC pre-order. Harley Quinn went up last week and she is on the newly developed female body too - which was the delay on the Baroness all along. She and Destro will easily be $180+ |

looks a lot like Destro v10 with some other earlier elements.

I'm hoping for a more classic looking 1/4th scale premium format figure. I hope he's the next one they do; I need my triumverate of ruling Cobras!!
