Me too. Although I don't think it was intentional on the original figure.
His butterfly joints I didn’t even realize those were there. Every figure should have butterfly joints and I’m glad hasbro recognizes that

oh hello cyber 😳
This Destro is absolutely badass, and most definitely the highlight of the retail wave. I'm really loving the added details like the cut lines in his mask, and even the added knuckle padding on his gloves. It makes it look more tactical and functional rather than just black spandex.
Toe joints are underrated, I use them all the time when they’re available.
Dang just pre-order this entire wave thanks (or cause) of you and your damn enthusiasm! This look amazing
Another great Joe review. Thanks! Loving everything I'm seeing from all of the Classified figs. Can not wait to get them in hand.
You're a real trooper taking it on the chin with those ebay prices, man. My hats off to you. I couldn't get myself to do it. But Destro is the one I was waiting for. And it doesn't look like he disappoints. I'm more of a villains guy in general. So when I heard about this line my head immediately thought about Destro, Baroness, Major Blood, Dr. Mindbender, Serpentor, Tomax and Xamot, Nemesis Enforcer, and B.A.T.T.'s.

Great review. As a long time Gi Joe (RAH) collector, I wasn't originally sold on these figures. However I've come around, and just pre-ordered SE and Destro from Amazon Canada the other day. Can't wait! Keep up the amazing work!
Great review Robo!👍😁 I am soooo looking forward to getting my case after watching your reviews👍😁
Picked up the Deluxe Snake Eyes and I absolutely love it. I can’t wait for the rest of the wave to show up on my doorstep. The bad guys were always my favorites as a kid. Fingers crossed for a Cobra La 3 pack remake. Thanks for the in depth look at the figure.
Super surprised they didnt have Cobra Commander in the first wave. PS I figured the "unmarked bills" were supposed to be C4 strapped into the case. Making it a bomb with controls to set it off.

I'm not even all in on this 6 inch GI Joe line. But this Destro figure is a MUST. He's going right in with my Marvel Legends.
Awesome review. Great fig. Always enjoy. You are one of the BEST!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Wave 2 hopes; Baroness, storm shadow, zartan and cobra commander.
Another absolutely awesome review of an absolutely awesome figure with nice accessories!
Hurrr I keep seeing reviews for these guys and it makes me want them more and more each time! And I wouldn't even consider myself a huge Joe fan.
Good review. I wasn't thrilled with Destro at first ,because I'm waiting for Cobra Commander; but he is impressive. Your pics at the end convinced me I need that fig. Go Robo! 👍
Congrats almost at 100k subscribers keep up the good work 💪👌
Just got this guy loose at a book store for 20 straight, absolute flames I think it’s the best head sculpt even still to this day 3 years later
I'm trying not to pull a Robo and go to the Bay before release.... but oh man. I just might have too!!! Everyone of these looks like a DAMN WINNER!! Whole wave is a must!! For a lot of the same reasons Robo stated, customs, paint touch ups etc. Fun ol' review hoime!
New Fwoosh review and my week is now complete. Time for wave 2 with Cobra Commander and The Baroness!
That could be C4 strapped to the top of the briefcase, to blow it up should it fall into Joe hands

Ive been waiting for this 6 inch line for a while. I collected these in the 80s but like these way better. I'm impatiently waiting for my case to get shipped. Cant wait to see whats in the next wave.
"Good thing his ass is made of rubber. He's kicking it all day long." 😂🤣😂
My dad and me watched every episode of the original g.i.joe and the fwoosh will return thing was awesome haha
1:06 I'm that guy too, I totally didn't notice lol. Just ordered Destro and Baroness. Now I just have to wait for delivery.
The more updated classic look that this and Snake Eyes have just looks so much better than the fortnite designs.
Love the opening skit iv invented a weapon not even gi joe can with stand bullets. Good review keep up the great work.
I had an old school lazer tag flashback on that red and black gun. Figure is cool. Love the review Robo,you had me laughing my a** off lol
As I started watching this, I went to check the mail and my Duke came!!! A whole month early!!!
I agree with you and I also decided to first purchase Snake eyes and Destro!
I can’t resist these new figures
Awesome review Robo! Gimme some Cobra troopers , Cobra vipers and Alley vipers, and so on and so on!!
Oh sheeyit. That Destro illustration on the box... You arent the only one who never realized that his collar mimicked a cobra’s head. Actually I‘m not sold that that was intended before this version, given that he had this background that was more about his third-party role as the arms dealer, and eventually spawned the Iron Grenadiers. I mean the original cartoon’s theme says, "GI Joe against Cobra AND Destro..." But I gotta say...that use of the logo in the artwork is visually brilliant.
I was watching GI Joe Retaliation yesterday and while it’s fine it just reminded what a missed opportunity those movies are, like I feel like both movies are missing something. But on a side note love these reviews and I feel wave 2 should be mostly Cobra since this wave was mostly Joes

I feel they grounded them too much in reality. Part of the fun for those of us who grew up with the Joes was the way they incorporated the more futuristic aspects into military life. Hopefully when they give these new movies a go they'll take a page out of the MCU playbook and add more of the sci-fi elements and individual looks into the mix.

I have to say one of my stores out here the local collector shops had this line out so I went ahead and grabbed snake eyes and scarlet to my favorites and they're really really awesome I can't wait to get the rest there are some great figures and I look forward to another line of them now marvel converse GI Joe
I was originally gonna pass on this line entirely, but then I found a cobra trooper at target. So I bought him just to check out the line you know why not. Anddddd he was awesome, and then a couple weeks later I found Cobra Commander and Gung Ho at target, so I got them, now I have snake eyes on order, beach head coming, and I'm on the lookout for baroness. Thanks Fwoosh, I wouldn't have even bother to give the line a try without you! XD
Still surprised that they made destro first instead of cobra commander, also definitely cutting off the piece that connects the belt to the holster

Great review, just waiting on mine...
I love gi joe! I love what they hasbro has done with the line, I love the design of the waist articulation, I love the butterfly joints and up and down hinge for wrists to hold guns. The only thing that is making me fearful of getting into this line is my wallet:(
just got this guy today and loving it. one thing I would say is you can put the larger pistol into the holster and leave the other one in the case. kinda another last resort thing where he'd dupe people into the fact he has stack o cash in there open it up pull out the small pistol and start blasting . .
I see a Torch, Buzzer, and Ripper three-pack in my future . . .

I need Snake Eyes but seeing Destro with Doom really did something for me! I need to get this line!
This figure looks awesome. Not sure if he's my #1 or #2 from this first line. Looking forward to that Snake Eyes review.
Bring on Serpentor!

Omg Robo...... I have an original Destro...... I loved it..... I didn’t realize the collar made the Cobra logo until you said it.....
Just got Destro today, and It is a fun figure. Got Snake eyes as well, and Now I´m waiting for Beach Head, some troopers and ninjas. Not a G.I. Joe fan, but those designs is what is catching my eye.
Omg. That opening was funny as hell.
I’m 6 deep so far and want more... can’t wait for the next waves
I'm glad Hasbro brought the same design for the suitcase from gijoe sigma 6 Destro. It had the stacks of money and computer keyboard in it too!
awsome review, intro had me rolling, pretty dark stuff for hamburger guy lol

Yeah, Beef Boss is hardcore.
In the original 1983 G.I. Joe series, A Real American Hero, Destro easily defeated and captured Scarlet twice. When the Joes took over the Cobra heli-carrier, Destro took her hostage and escaped. And at the Cobra Temple, when Scarlet helped lead a prisoner revolt, Destro captured Scarlet, again.
Preordered him. I think he'll be the one that's hard to find at retail!
Was a huge fan of Joe as a kid... now we need storm shadow, cobra commander, and major bludd.
I may try to get these. I had every 3 3/4in GIJoe in the first wave except Roadblock. I will get him, too. I do hope they release Stalker.
The opening gets you a like
Have these on pre order in UK, have the exclusive Snake Eyes to keep me going until I get these. This Destro was the deal breaker, Hasbro got it spot on!
Watch those wrist rockets!
Oh this makes me very happy. I can't wait to put together my Cobra & Joes. Baroness and maybe even SGT Slaughter hopefully. I Wonder if William Perry will be a mail-away?
I can’t remember the last time I laughed that hard at an intro. That was great.
As toybiz really tried to push articulation, eventually to the extreme causing some figure proportions to be wonky, I always missed that they got rid of the tow joint. The toe joint can add so much to dynamic poses, as most movement start from the feet.
Hopefully the upcoming Cobra Commander has both the helmeted/dome face and the hooded head.
That intro was hilarious 😂

I imagine Destro got Oscorp to design his mask, seeing as both him and the Green Goblin wear masks that somehow move like a person's actual face.
Very nice figure, I love it!! Unfortunately cannot say the same about Cobra Commander thou
I'm just planning to get the regular snake eyes and storm shadow
Now if they can only do as good of a job on the Baroness, I'll be a happy little Cobra
Just waiting for the Beachhead figure, this line is so cool!
I don't care about G.I. Joe but I think Hasbro is doing a great job with these, to the point I believe it's currently their best line.

I love the intros. That cheeseburger is demented.
Who couldn’t they stick with the same vibe Snake Eyes, Destro and even Duke have where they feel like THE quintessential image of each character? They stick very close to the original designs with some modern aspects while Roadblock and Scarlett feel like GI Joe Operation Space with all that gold and lasers Was only thinking of getting Snake Eyes and maybe Destro but now it looks like I will go all in once they are available
I can remember those rockets from the first one, man-o-man that's awesome, I loved playing with Chromedome and shoot'n peeps with his rockets when he was unarmed. Yeah I'll be 48 in a couple months.
Those boots remind me of Tanker boots, no strings to get you hung up inside the tank.
Great review and photos! Which is your favourite figure from the wave?
My destro came with 2 right legs. Definitely have to get another one
We didn't even have GI Joe in the UK and I knew the collar was the cobra logo.
Get some chrome paint marker on the head for a little easy customization and I’m a happy camper for this Destro.

It seems to me that its going to be 4 joes and one cobra and if the pattern on the art work on the back is the method they are operating from the next wave will be 4 cobras one joe and an exculsive figure bring each wave a total of 6 figures. So next up red ninja, Baroness, Cobra Commander, Alley viper, Gung Ho, and an exculsive figure much like the snake eyes pack for 40 bucks. Thats my prediction.
That Destro head could make an awesome white Vision head. 😎
Hey fwoosh do you know if these are in Walmart cause I really want Snake, Duke, RoadBlock, Scarlett, amd Destro. I think we should get Cobra and also a movie wave for the two new GI Joe movies.

Back in the 80s after the first couple of years the Joes had been out they started releasing weapon packs to replace the weapons you lost in battle. Well I'd like to see Hasbro release a "Realistic Weapon" pack for these 6 inch Joes. Have it only on Hasbro Pulse for like 8-10 and it includes Snakes Eyes' Uzi and a type of 9mm, Dukes Assault Rifle (not sure what he originally had) and a type of 9mm, Roadblock's Ma-Deuce 50 Cal with Tripod, and something like an MP5 and another 9mm like a glock for Destro. And Maybe throw in some other weapons like a SAW, some AR-15s and Ak-47s. I know it's a bit more money but I'd pay it to get the realistic weapons.
Holy shite Robo I've been wanting someone to do duke that way forever
I hope they do Destro from the GI Joe vs Cobra line.
I need me a tunnel rat
I think they did Destro before Cobra Commander because Destro was the most popular character....now I want a six inch Major Bludd
Hey Robo, do you think Hasbro should implement what they've done with Wolverine shoulder pads on the new Stormtrooper?
