I really, really like that head sculpt.

I really, really don't like his gauntlets.

That looks awful and cartoony/sigma 6 to me. The body is fine, but I hate that head sculpt and gauntlets.

I like the head sculpt. I mean they have to do something to make him unique. His iconic look doesn't leave much room for manipulation if you are going for a tribute to the character.

Love the head sculpt. It actually looks like a mask, rather than a painted head.

that's what ive thought since the first promo images I saw of it. I like the body its much better than the 25th version. but then they ruin it with that awful cartoony headsculpt. the gauntlets I don't mind.

So China samples are coming out. Has the Philippines gotten them yet? When do you think BBTs and TRu are going to start getting them in 4-6 weeks?

I'm with Crosshair. I don't think this headsculpt looks cartoony at all. I think it's probably the most realistic Destro headsculpt we've gotten since the original ARAH version. It actually looks like a metal mask, instead of a just a silver head.

I like the head.

The big grenades on the left gauntlet never look right. I realize the original card art shows that, but art vs. reality.

I like him. The head is a bit cartoony, but does look more like a mask over his head and not just a chromed head. He'll become my default Destro. The gauntlets are cool. Though three grenades on his left? Those a pound a piece. Constantly likes having the weights there to build up his arms?

I have the opposite opinion. When it comes to Destro poppin the collar, there is no too high.

I'll have to get two of these... one to turn into a PDD.
