I look at it as a matter of practicality. I like to think the dude is armored up. Like, why would a dealer and designer of high-tech arms and armor go around with his chest essentially unprotected? Who's he think he is, fuckin' Infinity Gauntlet Thanos?

The color just isn't right on any of the Destros I know of. If Hasbro wanted it to be flesh, why wouldn't it look like a tone they've used on at least one other figure as skin? But somehow this discussion became heated and I didn't realize it. I thought we were all just casually discussing something kind of silly. I don't care enough about this to actually fight over it.

I don't it's really heated. Most of us are just being goofy. I know I am.

All I'm saying is that the the color tone is too yellow or orange for me to think it's flesh. It would look better, honestly, if it were painted flesh, because it would make more sense.

To that end, allow me to admit this into evidence:

This is right up there with the "does Zartan have long hair or is he wearing a hood" debate that has since been thoroughly squashed in favor of the hood devotees.
The 80's, dude. THE 19 FUCKING 80's. Think about all the great action movies we loved to watch that featured super-buff shirtless dudes slathered in baby oil. It figures that strange - and some would argue homoerotic - aesthetic would carry over to the toys we played with. Creepy.
