Pimp Daddy Destro!

Forget conquering the world. This Destro is ready to seduce it.

Let’s face it—Baroness notwithstanding—Destro could probably use a little help attracting the ladies. First of all, he is bald. Second—and perhaps you did not notice this—but his head is entirely covered in metal. Can you imagine the glare off his forehead when it’s sunny? Or how a woman’s lips would get stuck to him if they attempted to kiss in frosty weather? Disasterous.

But all that mojo changed in 1997 with an action figure GI Joe collectors have come to dub Pimp Daddy Destro, an extremely rare variant that accidentally slipped into circulation. Rocking a mauve uniform with leopard-skin—leopard-skin!—accents, Pimp Daddy Destro was actually sent into test production by Hasbro, only to be cancelled when execs realized he was a perhaps a touch too superfly for 13-year-old boys. (For the full story on the figure’s history visit YoJoe.com. Or visit Project: PDD for the definitive collector's word on this rarifed subject.)

The few Pimp Daddy Destros that somehow slipped into circulation in the 90s now go for a couple grand each. Which means you will never actually own one. What you can own is Entertainment Earth’s exclusive Pimp Daddy Destro bobblehead. Based on the original figurine, this Destro is so smooth, it naturally nods yes to any lady who approaches.

As a matter of fact, it also nods at any dude. Man, this Destro has game.
