I Want That: Destro figure from Sideshow Collectibles

JoBloJoBlo

Please don’t hate me but I’m going to bring up Christmas again…

I’ve decided to be on the lookout for cool stuff that you might want to gift your loved ones, or people you like enough to get presents.

Today’s installment is on the higher end but I thought it was awesome. I know tons of people who were seriously devoted to G.I. JOE. I was a little late to the bandwagon but have gained an interest in all things JOE.

That said, Destro is one of my favorite characters. I was giddy to hear that the 9th Doctor (Christopher Eccelston) was taking on the role in 2009s G.I. JOE: RISE OF COBRA even if I wasn’t overly impressed with the movie. Plus we both share a love of a certain bad ass brunette with glasses.

The figure will run you about $179.99 but remember that you can pay in installments if you want this bad boy. Head here for more details.

Product Summary:

Hailing from a long line of savvy war profiteers, James McCullen, a.k.a. Destro XXIV is the head of M.A.R.S. Industries an expert arms supplier to the COBRA terrorist organization.
The Sideshow Collectibles Destro Sixth Scale Figure comes aptly equipped with an array of deadly, technologically advanced gear and accessories. His detailed fabric costume is complete with vest and long jacket for warmth in the Scottish Highlands, and around his neck hangs Destro’s ruby medallion, a treasured family crest. His belt with pistol harness keeps a chrome pistol conveniently by his side and arm gauntlets house both miniature rockets and hand grenades to keep enemies at bay. Concealed within his communications case is a secret panel that removes to reveal a laser pistol…for use with shadier clientele. Regardless of his true agenda, behind the beryllium steel mask lies a shrewd weapons dealer who serves as a valuable asset to any ally who can afford his wares.
