I guess when they do the prototypes of the 12" figures they make the clothes out of whatever cloth they have. I like Destro in his camouflage business suit. http://m.ebay.com/itm/gi-joe-12-ROC-Rise-of-cobra-destro-prototype-/262142427931?nav=SEARCH

Well, there's a Men's Wearhouse ad I'd like to see...

But you're right. If this was a prototype, then they'd just test the clothing patterns with whatever material was conveniently on hand.

Same way they test the molds by using whatever color plastic is readily available -- which likely explains that pinkish-purple Firefly I saw on eBay one time...

Very cool. I have a 12" Joe that I think came from the original seller of that Destro (not the same as the current seller). The finished version is the modern USMC tropical digital camo pattern, mine is a funky red paisley pattern. It even has the GI Joe and USMC name badges applied.

Strangest thing, and I assume this is true for that Destro, the figure stinks like an old garage.
