The "fanny pack" is a Scottish Sporran. It's a small pouch worn with a kilt, since kilts do not have pockets. They are a Highland tradition. I always liked V3, because his collar looked more like the Sunbow design I grew up with.
As a non collector, I was going to write that the front pouch reminded me of a Sporran. It would make sense considering his Scots ancestry.
It's a thistle and a sporan, very scottish symbology. The chest flower isn't very detailed, but the card artwork shows it better and the pre-production artwork shows it too.
I love the Destro variant with the leopard print, Pimp daddy Destro should have come with a pimp cane a hat and able to give a Destro backhand!
Best line from Destro: "Success? You dare speak to me of success? You psychotic, sibilant, serpent of a dolt!"
I was out of Joe by this point but my best friend's kid brother was still very much into it. We kept him in Joes because honestly- we still enjoyed it as well. I worked at "America's Leading Retailer" when these arrived and I remember there were only two of most every figure in a case (some exceptions) so I basically bought half the case that day. The figure is alright... Could have stayed a little truer to V1, which was always one of my favorite action figures. One cool thing- That disc shooter was FUN. Our's must have had a stout spring. It could sling em!
I used to get Action Force when I was a kid. We had a Destro who was named Red Jackal that came with a Red Shadow version of the Hiss tank. The tan coloured chest area on Destro was red with a white skull and crossbones on Red Jackal. We also had the first version of Destro with his Cobra colours.
GI Joe was sold as Action Force here in the UK.
I actually really like the anachronistic elements of his outfit. The sporran, the cavalry boots, the ridiculous collar. It all feels like a distinct attempt to cling to his valued heritage... Though, while i think version 1 is generally the best (though i don't like the head) version 3 is a close runner up on my eyes.
I love Destro V3. Prob because this was the figure I had as a kid. I had several GI Joes as a kid, even tho I never saw the cartoon and had a minimal number of comics. The head sculp was so spot on for V3, and I thought the desk launcher was cool. As I said, I never knew much about GI Joe Lore as a kid, but I knew this character has a to be a top dog just by looking at him, and I wasn’t wrong!
My favorite Destro other than V.1 , has to be V2 , I liked the Iron Grenadiers look just not the gold head. I liked the cape too. Version 3 was just too strange looking with the alien head and the big collar and tiny legs. Version 1 will always be iconic. I always played with version 2 as a field commander. Great video as always. Maybe I'll find time to send something in for Convergence. I just work too much.
Love all the background and peripheral info in this one! My favorite of this year's Convergence videos, so far!
Arthur also was the voice of the GoBot Turbo and the Transformer Devastator.
All Hail Destro! I am huge fan of Destro for reasons that Comic Tropes mentioned in his section. I do think that this version 3.0 is solid and it doesn't deserve hate that it gets.
Me too! My favorites are my Prime 1 Studio statue of Destro and (long sold out) Serpentor and air chariot!
I agree. This was my Destro figure as a kid and I like it the best out of all 4 versions.
The only thing about the ridiculously huge collar on V3 was that it looks like it was to mimic the Cobra logo. Maybe that was just me... Awesome review as always Hoodie!
It's amazing how two figures can have so much in common, and yet vary so much in terms of overall design quality. The 2-pack version looks better though - and that Fast Blast Viper is a good looking figure! Never seen it before
Was actually my first Destro as I could never find V1 or 2 in the early days and I really liked its homage to the first version!
Mine too. Great figure.
Awesome Video about a cool figure. Here in Australia we call a "fanny pack" a 'Bum Bag'.
The picture of the necklace looks like a thistle, the national flower of Scotland. The rose is the national flower of England and I don’t see a Scotsman ever wearing a rose. Maybe they wanted to give him some home pride without putting a kilt on him. (Although a parade dress destro wearing his family colors would be grand)
The necklace is a thistle. Very Scottish.
The ending of this video where you threw something is total RaycerX energy. Also, this toy holds a special place in my heart. The HoF one and the 3 3/4 fig as well. Great review. My lil bro and I would eschew the "gimmick" accessories of the 90's and just play with the toys.
When we are we going to talk about the fact that a man in an iron mask can make facial expressions!?
Love this in-depth review. Everyone did a great job sharing their knowledge and perspectives on the character & figure. 🤘🏻😎🖤 What a fun story concerning the Pimp Daddy Destro. I have the common ’97 figure but will get myself another and make a custom. Vinny D’Aleva was one of those Hasbro-employees that got their own GI Joe-figures, his was ’91 Cesspool (one of my top 10 favorites...review soon?) Destro is a great character. Cobraaaaaa!!!🐍🐍🐍
The hiss tank was something I wanted so bad as a kid.
I only saw it in the store one time and we couldn't afford it
This version has striking resemblances to the headhunters sculpts. The headhunters would've made good elite grenadiers to go with him ..
Destro is one of my Favorite characters ever!!! Thanks for this HCC!! This is one of my gifts for my Birthday!!!
I love the shirt! It looks like a thistle to me.
Disclaimer: There is some nostalgia bias involved, but -- Destro v３ is a good 90s figure and an acceptable 90s remake for kids who missed out on the first two versions (Like my brother and me. Side note: '91 & '92 were great years for me. I got my first Hawk, Snake-eyes, Stalker, Destro, Firefly, Storm Shadow, and Duke figures). I even got the 12" version (with the awesome removable mask!).
Yes, the Dv3 chest and collar is too big, the head is too, small, and it has orange on it. It's a flawed figure, but does what it needs to, overall. His gun is great and the disk launcher is underrated. It packed a punch and was different from other SLMLs. I thought it was kind of a modern follow-up to Scrap Iron's launcher. I believe the disks are are identical to those that came with the Avalanche.
I think the high boots/leggings are a great nod to v2. Overall, v3 clearly isn't as good as v1 or v2, but it's a usable placeholder.
Yes Brother, I grew up playing highland games and having to wear my Murray kilt on holidays. The crotch pouch is a Scottish sporran, and the neck piece appears to be a thistle.
This is my favorite vintage Destro
Ive owned every Destro in the retro line (but not that silly Space Camel Destro), but I never owned them at the same time so I never got to stand any of them next to each other. That blew my mind. I always thought this Destro was very close to the original 1983 figure.... boy, was I wrong.
I'm impressed with the paint application in the tiny eye holes. Flesh tone, eyebrows, and pupils.
Love to see an in-depth on Zartan and Maj Bludd my 2 faves! Thanks for this HCC.
Great review, this is an all out review of destro, this was my only destro figure I had growing up, now as collector I now own v1 and v2, destro was a great character when watching both the sunbow and dic series of Gi joe.
Can't forget that also in the Marvel comic and I believe it was issue #96 that Destro took off his mask and revealed his face to Baroness
I remember seeing a pump daddy Destroy in the store. But I bought a three pack of figures with the black collar as I didn't like the look of the other.
Pimp daddy, dang autocorrect
The version 3 Destro actually looks more like how the original design was adapted into most media (especially the Sunbow cartoon) IMHO.
love this channel. you're the best, cobra commander guy.
I lost it when he mentioned d**# in a box! Lol
I think Destro was part of the Sisters of Mercy dance troupe. Those leather pants says so.
Small head and not chrome head makes this one not as good as first. Another great review. #cobraconvergencev
Killer beard looking great matie!
🤔...I tell ya what, version 1 & 2's head is ginormous❗❗❗ It's frighteningly hideous, and scary...😬 Why is that head so fricking big❗❓❗
Good job in discussing the details of figure.
You’re a Poli-Sci major? Damn, I already respected you, but now, it just went up to 10,000x more!
I’m surprised that nobody pointed out that the collar is more fitting with the cartoon
Honestly I like that one’s molding better than the original, which looks kinda goofy when standing side by side.
I get the feeling Destro came across Baron Zemo's yard sales and picked up on his outfits
Shrink when you get older that makes sense of Destro shrank plus you got a Metalhead that's going to win a little more
Destro and major bludd favorite plus you can't forget the baroness. Keep rawk out vids
Love v1
Destro 1 was the 1st G.I.Joe figure I bought for myself instead of for my nephew. Until I saw him I'd conceded to the "wisdom" that I was too old for them. V2 just barley beat V1 as my fave, though I'd have transplanted V1's arms if they'd have fit. V3 looks good at first glance, but I have to agree with most criticisms of it. Aside from not being chrome the head was too small and too detailed for what was supposed to be a hard metal mask. The epaulettes/shoulder pads restricted arm movement. The bulky chest might've worked better with longer/bigger legs like the first two instead of being shorter. I did like the bigger gun as an addition to the first, and would've appreciated the thistle if it were clearer. I got a later version of it, put an equally too small Roadblock head on it and called him Alexander, Destro's son from IMAGE/Devil's Due comix. Thanks for the background info on Arthur Burghardt, an impressive figure in his own right.
Cobra and its fascination with metallic face ware. #CobraConvergenceV
Destro V2 is one of the best action figures ever made. All other Destros pale in comparison.
Version 2 is still my favorite Destro
80's Destros are the best. He was a bad man.
great review. I had the Chinese version of him growing up. also had the Chinese version CoCo which was the V1 reissued , I always liked this figure and that it was like a scaled down version of the 12" one. that mold was reused again for V12 but with a all new headsculpt but it looks terrible. I suppose if you really wanted the classic chrome look version you could mix and match v5 head with the darker muted colours of the V6 body . or just use v3 body
Like I said to my brother I missed out on the 83 destro wasn't gonna miss out on the 2020 one got him.
That was a good review. Thanks I'm with Joefan82 I like figure I'd give it a 7.5.
#CobraConvergenceV !!!!
Each version of Destro is interesting, except maybe Star Brigade. 🤔. Did he lose an arm, then they made him that missile launcher? That is a very strange version. This one is nice, I just wish his head wasn’t painted.
I always felt Destro version 3 was a little too Flash Gordon, but I did like the head sculpt. The disc launcher was too gimmicky for me to even have him posed next to it. Great review guys!
I personally liked the 1992 version the best. thats the one I had as a kid. it looked way cooler.
Same here. I got him for Christmas in 1992.
The best version is the one from the comic 3 packs. It used this body, but with a new head and better paint.
While this version of Destro is by no means better than the previous ones, I have to say that at least it turned out better than Cobra Commander v4.
Other than Destro, Arthur also voiced Stalker & Iceberg
As 90's figures go he wasn't too bad. He was at least recognizable as Destro. The 80's version was still far superior, but this could have been worse.
Dr. Mindbender: Destro Noo Dont Shoot have we not always been allies ???
Destro: Nothing Personal Doctor it's just good business
After getting hit by Disc
Dr. Mindbetter: Uuuh why do I get shot at soo many times is it possible some unforeseen being is making me suffer.
This Destro is nothing on V1 and V2 and he's got a cartoony head, but in saying that I've always been open to different things with GIJoe and they needed to bring Destro into the 90s I like him a lot but just nowhere as much as the 83 and 88 versions anyway HCC love your reviews can you please do Battle Corps Viper 94 also I love Destros "Burp" gun one of the coolest handguns released in the ARAH line I brought multiples to use with my customs 👍😁
That fanny pack might be the same thing that scots wear with their kilts.
Never realized he wasn’t wearing a shirt under the black jacket. In the cartoon it seemed like he was just wearing an orange shirt.
I always assumed Destro was supposed to make you think of the word destroy. It's only one letter off.
V2 is the best
I love to see the general please
To be honest. The collar looks that big both in the cartoon series and in the comic book. I always thought that the original figure was kind of undersized.
I had the 88 Destro
destro v10 is my goto
Took off his platform boots lol
Nice review HCC, but I remember when I was a kid, 12" GI Joes going back to the original sizes, for special editions and they included a Destro who's mask could come off and kids could see his face. You and the other C.C. ever come across this?
His necklace is definitely a thistle, not a rose. The rose is the national flower of England, so not self respecting Scottish laird would use that as jewelry. I can make out the round body of the thistle with its distinctive flat top, and the stem beneath it. No other flower looks like that. If it was recoloured in green and purple, you would see it more clearly.
great shirt
nice review honey coco
His head or mask is way to small, great review!!!
I had this
I put both pistols in the holster on the 25th anniversary figure
That pouch is probably a kilt.
You mean a sporran.
I did an image translation on the Chinese card. I hope i can trust my tranlation app.
"refers to the code name of the personal file that was saved by the library officer Tongstro. The original name of DESTRO, the arms supplier of Distro: Unknown military expertise, weapon manufacturer, and other expertise: planning terrorist activities "Distro" is today The head behind the scenes of the largest advanced weapons research and manufacturing center. He believes that the struggle between people is inevitable, superiors win and inferior defeats, and wars make people constantly pursue better and more advanced weapons, thus promoting the progress of the world.

I have never seen the 3rd Destro I feel like he has a tiny head. I only had the first one growing up, but if he had been available back when I was a Gi Joe kid I would have liked the second one the best. Wow that card art is terrible.
Am i the only one that pretend v1 destro was the ninja from movie revenge of the ninja.
tiny head mode activated. collar looks like a balloon, lalalalala?!
Italian here: actually it's "Il braccio destro" not "brarrio".
Is it possible that Rudat was inspired (perhaps even subconsciously) by the cover to the Judas Priest Album Stained Class? The resemblance is quite uncanny. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stained_Class
but i have a 1991 v3 destro is this rare or a poto ype/ error stamp? i was confused which versinos of destro it was since i pick it up at my local vintage toy shop.
My version of Destro is the same. Half of the carded figures in 1992 out of the 12 are stamped with 1991. The other half are stamped 1992.
Did you know Arthur is a vegetarian and they still made him eat fried chicken on the set of Network?
If you switch heads, you will have the perfect Destro.
True, it seems that v3 has a smaller head.
Maybe the red rose is for the Baroness.
It's a purple thistle, not a red rose. A sign of his Scottish heritage.
