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.

That grinning Destro head is WEIRD, lol.

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.

I was thinking something akin to "Sigma 6"'s selective use of soft goods, especially in terms of the Joe team's supplemental gear. Quote:

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.

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.

Mezco just posted that Destro is going up for preorder tomorrow! Quote:

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. But a general note to everyone who doesn't collect Mezco might just wait it out, last year Mezco changed their preorder style of producing figures, to reduce the glut of figures on Amazon and stuff, they now require retailers to collect deposits. So figures have been produced in smaller quantities than in the past. Places like BBTS will probably have preorders open for a long time since they order extra, but they might sell out before it is actually released. It's happened with recent figures like Iron Fist and KGBeast, and other figures that haven't been released like Mr. Freeze and Frazetta Conan. |
