Was considering getting Destro but just Not a fan of the pose. Looks boring.
"Destro: Hermaphrodite Weapons Supplier"
But if you compare with IDW comics, he is actually just fine....even not as jacked as in the drawings. I am confused now....
Prime1 really needs to tweak this line. They kill in every ****ing license they hold except this one. Here, they look like they shouldn't even be putting their names on this. I have a bigger urge to buy their Guyver and Kinikkuman (sp?) statues when they preview, because they look AWESOME, and I don't even know what they are.
That is exactly the problem with this Joe line from them, they are "parroting" a ****** artist and sculpting the mistakes that artist makes, its not just Destro, that Storm Shadow is straight from an IDW cover and I'm assuming Snake is straight up copy as well. Its one thing for companies to make a Jim Lee batman or a Miller Batman, those are iconic and sell the character to many fans and also, Batman has a million, billion, gazillion statues already, so they can afford to cater to styles, because honestly, batman merchandise are just victory laps with something available for everyone's tastes. Theres next to no Joe high end stuff available, they really should stick to proper proportions and good sculpting details, rather than get wrapped up too tightly in one artist rendition at this point.
The problem I had with Destro when I looked today is I couldn't even tell the difference between the normal and exclusive facial sculpt.
I'm really disappointed with all the P1 Joes except for Snake Eyes which I have on pre-order. I think he looks pretty damn close to the cartoon. Destro, Storm Shadow, and Serpentor are real disappointments. I would like to see the Joes more cartoon-like over the Schwarzennegger-esque sculpts.
I don't think its licensing, they had stated on facebook during the initial backlash on the Joes that they plan on doing IDW and classic 80s style Joes. I'm ready to see the classic stuff.
Go watch your cartoons with the rest of the boys.I'm really disappointed with all the P1 Joes except for Snake Eyes which I have on pre-order. I think he looks pretty damn close to the cartoon. Destro, Storm Shadow, and Serpentor are real disappointments. I would like to see the Joes more cartoon-like over the Schwarzennegger-esque sculpts.
What was the initial backlash on Facebook about?
