Can someone please explain the New Destro figure to me? I don't understand anything about it. I read the comic and don't see any reason for the size, color choices, scarf, backpack and wrist thing and most of all the metal boot claw thingies.
Did they put this idea to together after they dropped a couple of tabs or what?

Knowing the writer, it was a couple of tabs, a bottle of Bushmills, drawn while naked with pastels on a pub napkin.

It's the one that comes with Shockwave.

And maybe he's using the same wardrobe consultant as Cobra Commander now?

It has nothing to do with a new Destro "look" and everything to do with the continuation of the comic book story line that the figure comes in. In the previous issue which came in the Destro/Iron Grenadier comic pack - a series of sludge vipers released poison gas into Destro's castle through the sewer system - as part of the first wave of Cobra's all out attack on Destro. Destro was anticipating an attack of some sort, and had his Iron Grenadiers at the ready, however, the poison was unexpected.

So what you see there in that comic pack is "Destro fighting to save his castle during poison gas attack" figure. Kind of like how you get a million versions of BatMan - but the black caped crusader remains the standard Bat Man.

I sort of like that he's so bizzare. Just like I would LOVE if the did a 25A version of the Sigma 6 Toxic Zartan

At least if we're getting yet another Destro it is with a new get-up that might provide some unique custom fodder.

EDIT: And this is out of LF, but in terms of custom use, one of the first custom characters I thought of when I saw the outfit (for no good reason, other than it looked bizarre enough to maybe fit): Baron Harkonnen from Dune. Not fat enough necessarily, but it's the kind of vibe I get from that look.

I'm going to put a new head on that figure and call him something else.

it's a cool enough figure besides the boots.I don't think his weapon is a good choice for destro either but I have seen worse figures for sure

I bought another of the two pack just for fodder. I found the entire body useful with the exception of destro's head at the moment. Its a great sculpt just odd and really tall compared to other figures.
