The Mercenary Destro and His Elite Trooper Iron Grenadier - Lookout Cobra Commander

This has got to be the best GI Joes Destro that I have seen yet. I did not like a few of the other 25th anniversary edition Destros because of the skinny legs that were designed on the action figure. The thigh-high heavy pirate looking boots rendered that problem for me on this GI Joes action figure.

This particular GI Joes Destro action figure represents Destro as a once major supplier of advanced weapons and vehicles and advisor to the Cobra Commander. At this point, he has created his own army of Iron Grenadiers to carry out his plans.

Destro’s loyalty sways back-and-forth in serving Cobra Commander and his desire to remove this incompetent from command of the Cobra forces.

The Iron Grenadiers is an awesome group of adversaries to the GI Joes teams, and according to the comic book that comes with this comic pack, Move and Countermove, they are also a nuisance for the Cobra Commander as well.

The Iron Grenadiers are trained to infiltrate an area and spread chaos and panic creating a need and desire for arms, which Destro supplies, of course. This is not a good thing for the GI Joes teams.

The Iron Grenadiers are also Destro’s main force for his plans to take over the Cobra outfit. Very ambitious Mr. Destro.

I must say that this Destro did come out very nicely. But, again, I find the skinny legs problem with this Iron Grenadier. I’m really bothered by this as I really like the black and red paint job on this trooper. I am definitely adding these two GI Joes figures to my collection, but it was absolutely because of Destro.
