Destro
|
Description:
Pictured above is a mock-up prototype of the Cobra Command Team Destro
(1997). Note that the figure featured silver details on the belt and
leg straps. Another noteworthy point is the highlighted collar, which
could be indicative of a desire on the behalf of the designer to play
with various color schemes that eventually led to the well-known leopard
print Destro.

Additional Images:
A leopard print Destro has come into the hands of several collectors,
and has become known as "Pimp Daddy Destro" or "PDD"
among the collecting community. It was originally speculated that this
figure was released in America on the card at the start of the 1997
distribution, but to date only one has been said to have been located
at retail (pictured), in addition only a few loose samples are known.
It would be more reasonable to assume that this piece is not a production
variation, but a production sample made prior to release and changed
before the production run began. At this time it is still too early
to tell and what little evidence that is present will support the argument
on either side. The color scheme has tan areas with black "leopard"
spots on the collar and legs.
