That was the start of Hasbro's fixation with asymetrical figure designs, which would reach its apex with the Cyber-Viper a few years later.

Three days to go and Destro has a comfortable lead!

I went with the Sarge. I liked the removal hat. Removal headgear that showed how Joes looked underneath was something I really appreciated about later figure updates in the early 90s such as Wetsuit, DEF Shockwave, Wild Bill, and Sci-Fi.

I went with destro, since he's one the best looking figures of the vintage line. But my fav character from the list is Wildcard. What a buffoon! I enjoyed his comedic moments. Wish we could have seen more of him.

sometimes i pick up a long range and i hold his legs to my ig destro and whisper "i will fix you" but then i look closer and it'd take an entire leg swap to make destro make sense. i just dont get their motivation for it slouching one so low it's a trip hazard. if anything they could have gone with boots like mercer or captain america - which are essentially the same thing as thigh highs, but folded down.

but those thigh high boots are weird on any figure. there was an old dan brereton elseworlds batman story that batman had thigh highs. freaking bizarre.

not entirely knocking thigh highs though, just not meant for men.

I went with Star Viper but I'd like to change that to Destro. I never liked that vehicle he's flying but yeah, the figure itself is beautiful.

One day left and Destro has slaughtered the competition!

not even kidding, that picture is 90% what the thrillkiller batman looks like and the 10% left over is if his skin were covered by grey spandex.
