Pimp Daddy Destro is Back!

by Paul

The G.I. Joe Collector’s Club has released information on the newest Joe exclusive. This time collector’s are being treated with a second chance to own one of the more infamous figures in the Joe line: Pimp Daddy Destro.

Oh yeah boyeeee. That’s some fine pimp represent’n right there. If you are unfamilar with the legend of Pimp Daddy Destro, there has always been a lot of speculation and rumor surrounding him. The bare essentials are that he was released in very limited quantities way back in 1997. When a Hasbro higher up realized just how bizarre this figure was they immediatly stopped sale of the figure and had him released in his more boring, yet still cool looking self. Thus the legend of Pimp Daddy Destro was born. For the full stroy on Pimp Daddy Destro, head on over to YoJoe.com and read up on what they uncovered with ProjectPDD.com.

This version (there’s actually two versions of this guy) will be available in limited quantities at the San Diago ComicCon 2007, so start saving your pennies if you’re a Joe fan, or just a fan of pimps in general.

    So, I’ll be at the San Diego Comic Con. I guess I know I’m coming home with at least one new toy…

    Thanks for stopping by BC. GWS, I’m not sure if I’m going to go or not to SDCC. I was all for it, until I paid for the Star Wars Convention… ugh…
