G.I. Joe Rise of Cobra
SDCC Destro 2pk

This Destro 2pk is sort of a double bonus for us. On the one hand, it's eighth in our ten part series featuring the 2009 SDCC exclusives. On the other, it's parts of JoeCon Weekend Coverage! You'll find links to both our prior SDCC Exclusive Week Coverage as well as our coverage of the 2009 GI Joe Convention at the end of this review. When I was deciding where I wanted to set the bar for which ROC figures to get (Oh, ROC Para-Viper, where are you?), it turned out that the unmasked Destro was above it. I just like the look of the suited figure. Plus, it's Christopher Eccleston. Plus, we've got that running Couture gag going. In all, it seemed like I should pick up a set and since they were openly available on HTS, I went for it. For $25, it's a bit much for a Joe 2pk, but there are a lot of neat extras that make up for the cost, starting with the box...
