Title: Armored Destro w/ minigun

What do you guys think of this Destro? I think he has some definite customizing potential. Just picture him with a Mando helmet on...... deadly.

There is a movie where a guy puts on bonb armor like that, he walks and falls over, that is what I picture with this figure.

I have a love/hate relationship with most Destro's anyway so that fits.

I agree that there is some great fodder there if you take the figure apart and mesh them into other figures but as a single figure I don't like it so much.

This has potential as heavy gunner mando or clone maybe even a bounty hunter custom.

I just noticed too that the case has changed, at SDCC they had what looked to be stacks of money (I assume as an accessory) which for many was the buying point of the figure).  Looking at it now though It appears the money is just a sticker in the case (Which is probably reused anyway from ROC).  Big change.

I'm thinking that shoulder armor and the shin guards could be used to make a gladiator or a D&D/fantasy warrior.

I like the pants but I would not have bought this figure if it weren't for the money and case. bbfet
