So... I submitted this Destro to the custom figures section of the front page. But my first attempt on the vest had a lot of texture left from the primer I used. I repainted another vest this morning without primer... and it came out smoother. I also switched the Arctic Destro head for the Money Bags Destro head (the expression on Arctic's head looks so sad).
Here's the recipe in case you missed it:
Head:Money Bags Destro
Torso:POC Snake Eyes
Legs:Retaliation Roadblock
Jacket:POC Cobra Commander
Belt/Sword:25th Iron Grenadier
And the 'file card':
Destro has folded his armies of Iron Grenadiers into the ranks of Cobra and has reclaimed his place in Cobra Command. Current geo-political realities may have forced Destro and Cobra Commander back into partnership, but don't get the wrong idea; it's still a relationship of distrust, contempt and mutual envy. With the Baroness still playing both men against each other, it feels like old times. Unfortunately, the "old times", as Cobra Commander and Destro are starting to remember, weren't that great.
Do you guys think he's a worthy classic-update of Destro? I've been using MB Destro as my go-to... but he doesn't fit in vehicles well, and doesn't really have a classic look...
