Even Sideshows new Pro doesnt seem right for Destro. Taller and wider shoulders, but not the build required for Destro.
Sideshow, when you make Destro...

Yeah, the arms really don't appear to be any bigger than the standard Pro. But it's probably the only chance we have.

Desto needs a HT type muscle body. Limited articulation, but woulds look much better,imo.

I agree. I don't think the Iron Grenadier Destro would be a bad way to go to hide this, though, I'd still want the silver mask vs. the gold one.

Yeah, Sideshow will have to find some way around it.
A classic look Destro WILL NOT work on any pro body we have seen. The chest wouuld look horrible, arms are to thin and a vissible neck joint would look pure caca.

I'm okay with the joints showing on Destro, well the neck joint anyway.
I think if the shirt is unzipped to about mid torso it would look alright. I'm just worried about bulk, and his arms in particular.

Maybe they could just sculpt a separate chest piece and do something to beef up the arms?

PU on the muscle body.

I'm not really a big of them either. They look great on certain things but get a bit over rated, imo.
You guys know this IS the Destro we'd be getting right?
Don't even breathe that into existence.
Hell, even RESOLUTE got him right:
As far as gritty, violent, one-shot non-canon stories go the Dreamwave Transformers/GI Joe comic miniseries >>>>>>>>>>>> GI Joe Resolute. And they rightly chose the visor for Snake-Eyes as he might have existed in WWII:
I'd probably buy a 1982 SE though. Especially with the comic Troopers coming out. It'd be great to have a "Silent Interlude" display with a red ninja or three.

the idea of a vintage looking destro with chrome mask makes me as giddy as a school girl.
old school destro rocks.
period.

Don't forget the SDCC Exclusive for 2010.
Yeah, I mentioned that in my original post as "Hasbro variant pimp" Destro.

I actually own this...
Won it in a custom contest at Hisstank 2 years ago.
Doesn't the PD Destro have some actual history as a recalled Joe from the early 90's?

When they came out with the 15th anniversary three packs in '97 there were like 5 or so that out went with PDD instead of the maroon one. It was a "mistake" at the factory or something like that and Hasbro caught it after a handful were out the door.
1997 huh? Bah. 1982-1994 or bust.
