1/6 SSC Destro

Force28x said:

I've not done much 1/6 lately, but finally pulled Destro from the box and decided to have a go at him.
Cut off the long coat, added the chest belt, put him on an Athletic, and swapped out hands with modified Iron Man Mk II hands (added strips of styrene to create card art effect).
I put pocketless pants because I always loved how they had that 'puffy' look to them.
I scratchbuilt a holster and pistol. Was going to try to holster the breakdown laser, but that thing is HUGE!
A few other details and here is what I have to show for it.
It needs some 'futzing' (especially 'crotchal region'), but overall, I like the changes I made and will probably not do much else with him for now.

I did not want to add the neck ring. In the comics, it looked like a two-piece removable mask. I'm not sure how the neck piece would be functional, so for now- no neck ring.
I may modify the mask to make the raised rivets into flush-mounted fasteners.
Thanks for looking.

Come on, they needed to kill the line with something after all.

And what not a better Sideshowstopper than to kill it with one of the most anticipated characters since they announced they had the license and not give a **** what the fans wanted to see by throwing a half-arsed figure together and laying it down with the thankless attitude, "Here you go. Here's your Destro. We're done. Goodbye."

I didn't like the raised eyebrow and did a slight resculpt on my Destro head just to see if it looked any better. I still have to paint the eyes.
