Sideshow Collectibles Exclusive Sixth Scale Destro Destro Sixth Scale Figure

Hailing from a long line of savvy war profiteers, we are proud to introduce the next adversary in our G.I. Joe Sixth Scale Collection, the Destro – Weapons Supplier Sixth Scale Figure! As a fascinating foil to the megalomaniac Cobra Commander, behind the beryllium steel mask lies a shrewd arms dealer who walks the line between evil-doer and man of integrity. Regardless of his true agenda, Destro aids the COBRA terrorist organization in many of its missions in world domination, with the lovely Baroness at his side.

We have outfitted Laird Destro in a hand-tailored costume, complete with vest and long jacket for warmth in the Scottish Highlands, and around his neck hangs the remarkable McCullen ruby medallion, a treasured family heirloom. The head of M.A.R.S. Industries comes aptly equipped with an array of deadly, technologically advanced gear and accessories, including COBRA weapon blueprints and a satellite location tracking device.

Always prepared for dangerous situations, Destro keeps a chrome pistol harnessed at his side, and a laser pistol concealed behind a secret panel in his communications case. His arm gauntlets house both miniature wrist rockets and hand grenades, signature examples of his cutting edge technology that pack enough punch to knock out a combat helicopter.

SIDESHOW EXCLUSIVE VERSION

The Exclusive Destro Sixth Scale Figure will include an alternative swap-out head, for a more realistic interpretation of ‘the man in the iron mask’ (shown above left).

Both the Exclusive and regular versions of Destro are priced at $179.99, with payment plans available for as low as $60.00/month. Plan on adding Destro to your collection? Let us know by joining in on the discussion in progress after the break.

HissTank is proud to present another look at the Sideshow Cobra Commander Sixth Scale figure. The Commander has been out for a while now, and Sideshow has released a ton of quality 1/6th figures so far – Storm Shadow, Red Ninjas, Destro, Zartan and more. But the commander really sets things off for the line, properly representing both hooded and masked versions of the character. Read on to check out over 60 HD images of the figure along with our some of our quick thoughts!

Power. Influence. Money. These are ambitions that drive the leader of the COBRA organization. The misfortunes of his past have distorted his mind and soul, creating a selfish, ruthless leader; nevertheless, he easily convinces others to embrace his twisted visions. He uses people and circumstances to achieve his goals, regardless of the chaos and misery his actions may cause. In fact, he thrives on destruction and enjoys creating advanced weapons capable of great power and devastation. His nemesis is the G.I. JOE team, which thwarts his megalomaniac dreams and Irritates him with their “ridiculous” fight to uphold freedom and justice.

This fun throwback to the 1982 mail away figure is the perfect addition to round out the Commander’s arsenal!

Pros
–Cobra Scepter
–Ceremonial Cobra Dagger
–Broom Handled Mauser Pistol
–Multiple gloved hands for commanding and conquering
–SideShow Exclusive Laser Pistol

Cons
–It’s still a Doll (J/K)
–He still can’t Dunk on Michael Jordan!

Baroness Crimson Strike Team | Sideshow Collectibles

One of the most nefarious and recognizable icons in the ranks of Cobra, the Baroness made her first appearance in Marvel Comics’ G.I. Joe #1, in June 1982. Although it took two more years for the dynamic villainess to join the toy line as part of Series Three, by 2002 Hasbro was proud to release a third version of the Baroness figure during the G.I. Joe “Legacy of Valor” Convention in Norfolk, Virginia.

CRIMSON STRIKE TEAM

Traditionally known for her seductive appearance with a tight black suit, long black hair and spectacles to match, the all-red version of her costume was quite a departure, and aesthetically well received. Boasting a new file card that would elaborate on her devious motives, the Baroness took charge of the Crimson Strike Team in a boxed set, which also included the Crimson Twins – Tomax and Xamot, and an army builder selection of twelve Crimson Vipers. The Baroness continued to make appearances in her scarlet uniform, ruling alongside the Crimson Cobra Commander, commanding the Crimson Guard – or Siegies, and starring in a 2009 Kansas City convention exclusive G.I Joe VS Cobra comic book titled “Crimson Reign.”

“Only the special ones are chosen!”

Following Sideshow’s premiere black, and ‘Classic’ blue releases of the Baroness Premium Format™ Figure, Cobra’s chief intelligence officer shows her true colors in the debut of the Crimson Strike Version! Fueled with an insatiable lust for power, there is no stopping the beautiful, yet deadly Anastasia Decobray, as she takes command of the elite infantry of Viper soldiers known as the Crimson Strike Team.

Primed with an assault rifle and ceremonial Cobra dagger at her hip, the Baroness is dressed to kill in a blood red variation of her traditional form-fitting fabric uniform, featuring sculpted armor details, bright silver accents and a gold aiguillette denoting the height of her military rank and honor.

Expertly crafted in 1:4 scale, the stunning Baroness Crimson Strike Version Premium Format™ Figure stands over 22 inches tall, an outstanding addition to any G.I. Joe or Cobra collection.
