Here he comes: Mr. Destructoid figure in color! photo

Well, Tomopop's readers seemed to really enjoy the unpainted teaser pic, so we thought you might enjoy checking out the progress we've made so far on the Destructoid collectible that's coming your way later this year. As we speak, this little guy is being whipped into mass production, and you ought to be able to buy one before Christmas.  Mr. Destructoid ought to make a great Christmas gift, if you still don't know what to get your aunt Judy.

If the demand is out there, we will also try to get blank white DIY versions for customization purposes. Would this be something you would be interested in? Keep us informed!

A plain white, DIY version wouldn't be for me.
But the pre-colored one looks very sexy.

Pre-colored version is sexy-looking, but I still want a DIY version.

I don't think I'd really benefit from a DIY version, but I will definitely grab the fully painted one.

I have a feeling Aunt Judy is going to love her Christmas present this year.

I'm not artistically inclined enough to paint my own, but I'm asking Santa for this for Christmas :D

@Diverse @Mockingbird -- I can't announce it yet, but I promise it will be in the "extremely reasonable" range. :)

although the idea of a DIY version makes my spine all tingly and warm, i'd likely never get around to actually painting it, and if i did, it'd probably look like crap anyway.

will 100% buy a colored one.

It looks awesome, but if I bought it, I wouldn't know what the fuck to do with it. It'd just sit there being better than me. I'm way out of my depth with this stuff.

I don't mean to play Devils Advocate but I'd pay in the $30 range for the colored ones and $20 for a DIY model. And I'd likely buy two of each.

I'll definitely be buying a colored version and there's a good chance I'll also get the DIY version

@Niero - Please say there will be a custom contest. If there is, my years of painting lil' Warhammer 40k minis will finally be justified.
