Now THAT is a nice looking figure. I'm sure it's too much to hope that the jacket is a seperate piece and the shirt/tie is fully sculpted, but still... Very sharp looking Destro.

Well done!

Doesn't look bad. I think a regular shirt instead of button down shirt with tie would look better, but this looks good. He looks like a mean character to deal with which is what we want. I just still wish they'd fix that upper torso joint.

Pobably the best movie figure so IMO. It really captures the charecter, not just from the movie but in the classic format as well.

Totally. THIS is what the VvV Destro wanted so badly to be...

Plenty of new, but enough of the old to know right off hey it's Destro. The mask even has that early days sort of look instead of a more advanced look we might as the franchise moves into later films so that's pretty cool as well.

Very cool, and if I'm not mistaken, you can see the eyes through the mask. That has sinister written all over it.

Nice figure - any idea which wave he's part of? Hopefully we don't have to wait for multiple waves of Snakes Eyes and Dukes to clog the shlelves before this one shows up.

Not the generic suit body I was hoping for, but this is very nice. Works well as Destro, and has lots of custom potential. A must buy. Weapons are blah, but the figure itself is fab.

I second that Aye by Zombie.
I'm not 100% happy with him for a few reasons but there are some fine points as well.

Bad:
1. Grey instead of black (small point maybe, but Destro's iconic is black. I might not pick this version up given that they will have to do one in black).
2. No briefcase. Come on, his GF gets a bp and he is saddled with some sort of hip hugger instead?
3. No removable head of his maskless version given that this is not a removable (what they may do is make another version which does have that, and to be honest i'll just wait to see the better version and skip this one because of it).

Good:
1. As mentioned the eyes through the holes is Destro 92ish. Very cool.
2. Tie. YES. That is a win. Col Courage an obscure forget me character from 92 shouldn't have a monopoly on ties in the joe line. Especially when Courage wore Neon along with his.
3. holster that works. Yup good stuff there like that.

What?! Those weapons are super nifty with interchangeable/customizable parts. They look like cutting edge MARS technology. The fig is very cool, but those weapons, to me, is what makes this one a must have.
