Palisades Toys announced the Iron Grenadiers Destro Statue, based on pin-up art by Joe Joe Madureira & Harry Candelario from Marvel's G.I. Joe 130. The statue was never released, as the licensing agreement between Palisades and Hasbro was not renewed. A handful of prototypes are known to exist.
Solicitation Text
The history of the Destro clan dates back to the mid-1600's in Scotland, when the Destro family began selling weapons to both armies fighting the civil war in England. When Oliver Cromwell discovered their treachery, he punished the Destros, by forcing their leader to wear a steel mask; however, instead of viewing the mask as a disgrace, they made it a symbol of honor, and since that time have passed it down from generation to generation, always to be worn by the head of the clan.
Today, Destro still wears his mask with pride. Version Two of the notorious arms dealer – known as Iron Grenadier Destro – is captured in the heat of battle, in this, the fourth six-inch scale statue from Palisades Toys. Dynamic and highly detailed, this statue comes fully assembled in a full color, individually numbered box. Strictly limited to 1500 pieces. By Palisades Toys.
Estimated ship date: June / July 2004
