Nice option for the folks that aren't satisfied with Classified and have the disposable income to afford $75-$100 6" action figures.

I do not remember Destro EVER smiling like that. If I've seen it then I blotted it from my memory because of how terribly stupid it looks.

But, that alt head? That alt head is the stuff of legend. Looks like it was pulled directly from his V1 card art.

Bought as F#$%.

I'm in neither camp as I'm more than satisfied with the Classified Destro, but this is really cool. Not sure how I feel about Destro smiling broadly in a steel mask, but this character has always needed a healthy dose of suspension of disbelief in both toy and cartoon form.

Actually, this is a good point. Most of the folks on this board would be dead before they even manage 13 figures.

Mezco's One:12 figures usually retail for around $100-ish. No way Hasbro would have done that with GI Joe. The line would never have gotten off the ground.

Classified is awesome to me, but I'd love a few select Joes given the ultra-posh One:12 treatment. Anyone know if Destro is a one-off or if there are other Joes planned? I'd love a Cobra Commander, Snake Eyes, and Scarlett in this line.

Well, OBVIOUSLY not a complete seamless soft goods outfit, and Destro's probably not the best example, but...
I was thinking something akin to "Sigma 6"'s selective use of soft goods, especially in terms of the Joe team's supplemental gear.

Safe bet is they should have at least a couple on tap. I can't imagine they'd drop the money for the license for just ONE release, unless Destro sells poorly (which I find it hard to imagine).

I'm inclined to believe we'll see character selection similar to Sideshow's, with a greater emphasis on Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow. There's probably movie iterations of those two already on tap for early next year. The nice thing about GI Joe is that even the basic iterations of most characters are well equipped for variations, which could help the longevity of the line.

I know nothing about Mezco 1:12 signature figures. So these are 6" figures that are highly detailed? Do they have the same articulation as the 6" Hasbro offerings? Are they as durable as the 6" Hasbro lines?

I just want to know as I see people get excited about these, but they seem to be way too expensive for what you get.

Right! I've heard rumblings more are planned.

Yeah Mezco 1:12 figures are great. I think they typically look a lot better in hand than they do in pics. I don't think pics ever translate a true sense of scale and the pics usually pick up a lot more detail than ever comes across in hand. Therefore, the figure's flaws (Let's face it every figure has some) are way more evident. I think a lot of the Caucasian figure's skin tone can look a bit washed out. They are very durable but because of the nature of the soft goods the figures should be handled with more care than Classified. However, I wouldn't call them fragile and the articulation they offer is, in most cases, on par with Classified. I've bought a few and really feel they were worth it. "Value' is very subjective.
