WHat on earth was happening during the Sigma era in terms of toy design? I don't hate the idea of Destro in a coat but that figure is horrific.

Cocaine was too expensive? They'd moved on to horse tranquilizers?
While I like some of the design elements for Sigma Six Destro, the overall execution was terrible.
Probably my favourite part of the figure is the head. I love that squared off top, ala Frankenstein. I would probably still pick up a Classified version but it might be a tough call.

This design is much better expressed in the “concept art” Rise of Cobra movie figure.
Do it like that.

But no, I wanna call it 'luck of the draw', but I do think they found the least sensible people at Hasbro for that era of the Joe team.

I was fond of the designs, if anything just because it was something different. I don't mind the proportions, as that style choice popped up in quite a few things during that time. Like they watch "Small Soldiers" down there at Hasbro and thought it wasn't such a bad idea. Lanard even made a few in the style for The Corps!
But back to Destro. What I like: the jacket with collar, metal chest. What I don't like: The color, too Cobra Commander and not enough black.

We kind of got him already with the Trench Viper. However another go with the Cobra shield would be great. However I always thought the Cobra shield should be exaggerated a bit for use. It should be a bit larger and the hood tails should be elongated to allow for a larger (more coverage) shield even though it doesn't quite fit with the Cobra logo theme.
