Better "version" choices: Destro, than version 1

[pesatyel]

I think this will be easier than Cobra Commander. With CC most thought the version 1 was best, although a fe thought the hooded version or talking version would have worked too.

 

With Destro there really ARE only 3 "different" versions. Then again, maybe it WON'T be easy.

 

 

 

I STILL can't get over the glowing green eyes or the fact his metal helmet must be SKIN TIGHT! Who does he think he is? Dr. Doom?

If you take into consideration that they are going with the most definitive versions of the characters, there is no other option than to go with V1.

Sure, that's why version 3 is so similar in appearance to version 1.

 

I was just curious how many thought version 2 would be better.

[Inggasson]

WTF is going on with v4? LOL

[code red shockwave]

V2 is the best without a doubt, however I prefer my own custom Destro instead so I don't plan on getting any more Destro figures.

That's that Armortech Star Brigade one that came out at the tail end of RAH. So it IS a RAH version.

 

The interesting thing about it is that it imagine it with articulation!

V.1 easily. The rest just.....well......suck

I wouldn't say that V2 sucks. Hell, I actually think it's cooler than V1...but for the 25th anniversary new sculpt, it has to be V1.

[Draven79]

Never cared for v2. I hate the outfit. V1 is bad ass and always will be!

spytroops destro...or the 25th

V1.though it'd be cool to have V2 Iron Grenadier Destro as well.That was a cool outfit

[pesatyel]

I like the version 2, I just don't think it works here...yet. I mean if this line continues and there is a chance for some Iron Grenadiers, then maybe

[punishment-101]

While I do like v2 I still think they made the right choice with v1

[PhoenixSword]

uh v.1 only with a gold head and a red cape

[Lady Jaye]

Version 1 will always be the coolest!! They picked the right one!!

[Straight Edge]

I seem to be taking it among myself to offer "comic alternatives" to the figure choices above. Unlike the cartoon, which stayed strictly "on model", the comics offered variations that didn't exist as figures. And sometimes, those variations worked well for me.

 

 

Destro, in the later years of the book, returned to his traditional mask, but retained the Iron Grendaiers armor, as he was still his own man, with his own motives. It always felt like a better fit to me. More ornate, much more fitting a Destro in power. Regal, as the character should be. The silver helmet is sacrosanct. The gold one works as a momentary indulgence... but in the long run...

 

So if Hasbro were to do a V2 Destro, I'd be all for a silver head repaint.

[falcon7]

I agree with Straight Edge. I think v2 looks the best and makes him look more like a leader rather than just a Mercenary.

[darthsith]

I have wanted an updated V2. Destro for a long time. Guess the waiting continues.

[claws commander]

Concerning the new 25th anniversary Destro, I hope Hasbro takes the desicion to chrome plate his head rather than just paint it silver so it would be more true to the v1 figure.

[revsears]

i'm with straight edge on this one.

 

But truth be told i've never met i destro i'm completely happy with. I might be able to live with this one if i dremel down the collar, A LOT! V2 is great but like straight edge said, i'm used to the silver mask.

 

I may not pick this version up and stick with my custom depending on how they are packed.

[Mono]

version one was so great but

 

version 2 was the best one for me especially because he had a cape

 

version 3 is the best looking but since his head doesn't shine, then it a no go.
