Head/Collar/Wrist Missiles: 25th Anniversary G.I.Joe Destro Figure
The Rest: Marauders Task Force Parts


Okay, I get that this kitbash isn't the most adventurous of customs. It's just a modern Destro head and collar mounted onto a Marauders Task Force "Reverse-Command-Ops" buck body, but I did it for two reasons.
1.) I gave myself a mandate about 4 years ago to try to make as many Joe characters using Marauders Task Force parts as possible. Check.
2.) I just really like the red & black Marauders body.

When I first made my Destro kitbash a few years ago, I wanted Destro to be a big, armored, badass. I gave him an armored vest, two pistols and two spiked knives. I also had him carrying a minigun (picture 4 - 6). I had him that way for a very long time. One day I re-read comic issue #14 of the old Marvel run and I felt like I wanted my Destro kitbash to look more like the Destro on the cover of that issue. So I slimmed him down a little bit, took away the minigun and armor vest, glued a 25th Anniversary Destro collar onto the torso and made him more command-ready as opposed to battle-ready.
