Spotted Online – Destro Movie Action Figure
Well, I honestly expect the upcoming G.I. Joe movie to completely suck. I mean, in the trailer we can see just how stupid Snake-Eyes’ mask looks. Lips? Lips? Who the hell thought lips would be a good idea?
But it looks like Destro may at least have his mask (and the suit looks kinda cool). Check out this post at www.toybender.com for a photo of the movie Destro action figure and some thoughts on the piece. I agree that paying more than Target’s price for this would be stupid . . . but then, I fully expect to completely avoid the movie toys if the movie sucks as much as I expect it to. The trailer alone looks pretty dumb, and usually trailers are the best part of movies these days.
Once the movie toys hit clearance, though, they become fair game.
That Destro figure is pretty cool (except for the giganto-rifle) but I’m with you about waiting for these to hit clearance.
I’m sure you saw that ridiculously huge Pit playset at Toy Fair. Does Hasbro really expect the movie to do so well that they could justify a $100+ toy based on a movie tie-in?
Unfortunately, where I come from, toys almost never go on clearance. If they do though, totally grabbing Destro and some of the other Joes/Cobras.
