Oneof the baddest characters, not to mention the kinkiest, Destro returns to toy shelves this year in a great updated version of his classic outfit.
Right away you can see some cool details like the raised grenades androckets on his gauntlets, and that they are silver instead of black. He has a holster on his right leg that holds a pistol, although it has to be a smalller pistol. His head is a great sculpt, even though it isn't chromed like the old one. It's smaller, but unlike Cobra Commander it doesn't bother me. It's more about the mask being his face, whereas the old one from 84 loos like he's wearing a chrome helmet.
New Destro is holdinga pistol that can fit into a brief case he come with, although this time he has to carry it and not wear it on his back as 84 Destro is doing. Old Destro's gun looks more sci fi, but has a unique design, and the new one isn't supposed to be a faithful recreation but an idea of some expiremental weapon. New Destro's shirt is also more closed, lessening his creepy S&M pimp status to mere eccentric.
