Hi,
I am not sure if the Resolute Destro has been reviewed yet or not, but I haven't seen one, and since mine arrived today I thought I would share some pics and thoughts. Overall, when I first saw the images of this version of Destro I knew I had to have it as my modern update to the character. I was underwhelmed with the ROC version when I got him, mainly because of the mask and fairly "large" hands. The replaceable mechanical arm is a sweet touch. While there was no indication of this in the movie, the torn fabric at the topic of this lends itself to a great scene in which he is caught in some sort of blast and his arm catches fire or something :-) My only concern with the arm is the rather small post used to attach it. I would think that constant arm swapping would easily lead to it breaking off. Then again, this is a factory sample, so perhaps in production it would be sturdier. The skirt is in keeping with the Resolute Cobra dress code, and just like CC, it is only removable if you separate the torso. (At least I couldn't find a snap or anything on it). It is slit, so at least Destro can show some leg once and a while. I love the skirt on this Resolute version, it gives him a great trench coat look and makes him rather menacing. The boots are nice and tall, with pant legs tucked in. This being a sample, the pants below the knee joint are the same color as the boots, and not painted to match the upper leg. Paint scheme is very nice, overall it is a nice dark blue, with the red striping, gold braid and silver buttons standing out nicely. Upper body articulation is great, with wide movement for both arms and head. Legs, as to be expected, are somewhat restricted by the skirt. Accessories are nice, especially the aforementioned replacement arm and the opening MARS briefcase, which not only holds his sub machine gun, but also has a flip up computer monitor. The band of plastic that attaches the two sides of the case is starting to "whiten" from stress after only one open/close, so again I would think that regular use would lead to it breaking. His two pistols are on the small side, but fit nicely into the great holsters on his belt. This is my first review for the 'Tank, so hopefully this does the figure justice and you all can see the pics. If anyone has any questions, fire away! Last edited by slang; 05-26-2009 at 10:45 PM.. |

very cool, thanks for the review! So is the arm detachable or you have to break apart the torso?

Nice review. I totally want this Destro more than the TROC version.
Still don't understand the robotic arm... did Roadblock's rocket grenade injure Destro's arm? |

Looks nice. I kinda wish he had that new Destro headsculpt, but that should be easy enough to swap out.
