G.I. Joe Destro Makes His Explosive Entrance at Mezco Toyz

Published Wed, 17 Mar 2021 14:50:57 -0500

Behold the rise of Cobra as Mezco Toyz debuts the start of their new G.I. Joe One: 12 Collective line. Kicking things off first is the deadly arms dealer Destro who is making quite an explosive entrance. The highly detailed figure is fully articulated, features fabric elements, swappable parts, and loaded with accessories. Destro will include three different head sculpts and six pairs of interchangeable hands. The G.I Joe villain will also come with a variety of weapons, from a LED-enabled Cobra-issued briefcase to three different guns. Mezco Toyz has also included the Modular Sub-Machine Gun that can be assembled in an assortment of ways, making it the perfect weapon for any assignment.

Destro is just the beginning of Mezco's G.I. Joe One: 12 Collective figure line. We can not wait to see who else will be getting figures in the future, from Duke and Lady Jaye to Cobra Commander and Baroness. It seems like these figures will be a lot easier to get than the Hasbro Classified series and will be extremely detailed and more customizable. The G.I. Joe Desto is priced at $100, set to release between January – March 2022, and pre-orders are live and are located here.
