He's a 25th version of the ST turtleneck Destro.

Not sure about the legs, he seems a little short. Ideas?

25th Shipwreck

I think Chad's suggestion of Shippy legs is the way to go.

Man, you guys gotta keep from reading my mind. I swear I had these two very figures together this very night, JvC Disco Destro and 25A Shippy. It made me notice Hasbro's making the thighs and calves exactly the same size as the JvC figs, but not accounting for the added height the knee piece gives, which is why all the 25A figs look 'leggy'. The lower knee joint isn't a real joint in humans, it replicates the compression of muscle and flesh when we flex our knees at less than 45-degree angles, so it needs to be incorporated into the length of the calf and not added to its pre-existing length. Y'know, if they're worried about making *perfect* figs.

And I agree Shippy's legs (and a new left hand) would make this a solid gold custom.

Yea, Shipwreck is the way to go. More I look at this the more I like it, and I still ofer you mountains of kudos for ding this awesome version of him in this format. But yea, that claw hand has got to go, whether you do away with the gauntlets altogether, or just cut off the hand, it's more frustratingly useless that Cobra Commander's fist hand.

The Shipwreck legs might look a bit lanky on the figure, but they are the only pants that aren't bunched at the tops of boots in the 25A line.

The legs on there now look fine. I assume they're the original Goin' Clubbin' Destro?
