Nope. Destro went up for pre order literally just past two years ago.

Got enough points for Storm Shadow to get him for free from Mezco, so the 3 year wait won’t be so bad.

Do points work on pre orders? I thought it had to be in stock.

Wonder what kinda fluff they're adding to inflate the price.. LED ninja sword? Dead Hard Master base? 9 sets of hands doing ninja cuts? (I'd be down for that tbh).

Looks abit short and stocky for Storm Shadow, not lean enough, and I'd prefer less black details, more white.. disappointing, but I'm dumb enough, I'll probably preorder :|

That unmasked head is a pretty decent Lee Byung-hun. I doubt he is any shorter than their other figures, but he does look stocky and probably can't hit many ninja like poses. I got him anyways.

Personally, I think he flat-out sucks.

Hasbro's is better. Articulated Icons' is better.

He's a ninja, not a roller-blader.

I like it but I would much prefer the forearm and shin armour being white or even silver. The gunmetal grey and black is a tad jarring.
It looks to bebon their most articulated buck and with the looser clothing, should be pretty poseable.x

Yup! Only thing they have never worked on for me is Mezco exclusive figures.

Used the last batch of points I had on Snake Eyes, and Wolverine before that.

Ended up just paying shipping on Storm Shadow today.

GI Joe started with soft goods so this should be easy home runs for mezco, but Storm Shadow isn't that exciting to me. I've ordered all except for Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow(probably my two favorite characters) because Snake was lackluster as well. Really looking at it so is Roadblock. I think it's the versions Mezco went with that's holding this back. SS V2 is made for soft goods, Mezco would've had my money easily

I agree with what Anshrr said, he looks short and stocky. SS should be lean and flexible.

Look at his left shoulder in that second picture. Damn, they're bad at photoshop.
