As a kid, I think I liked/loved Zandar as much as Zartan, but he's a two-pack with his sister. Same goes for breaking up Tom, Dick, and Harry. Are build-a-figures always five pieces? You could have a pretty ridiculous Road Pig build-a-figure while collecting the other 'noks. Of course, that only benefits openers and you lose out on any RP box art. |

I never had Zarana as a kid but I did have Buzzer. Went with Buzzer.

BTW, imo, Road Pig shouldn't even be eligible for this contest. He should be a BAF instead. Provided Classified can conceal the packaged body parts better than Marvel Legends does. Because I hate having Domino share a display window with some huge hairy arm. Really ruins the aesthetic.

Yeah the reason most anarchists etc. do black block is so that cops have a harder time singling anybody out; with the Noks...there's not gonna be much left of any cops they come across. Still, I think a Dreadnoks prospect in like some generic jeans and a leather vest, with a few different heads and a nice milieu of weapons and head gear could be a cool filler; they're supposed to be a big international club, innit? So why've they only got like 20-odd members?

According to Dreadnoks Declassified (semi-canon) the Dreadnoks were originally an Australian-based gang. Zartan deposed their leader who he had risen to second-in-command to. He collaborated with the leader of the rival biker gang, Ripper, to overthrow the undesirables in the Dreadnoks. So Zartan's Dreadnoks are an ideologically-aligned fusion of two separate biker gangs. Buzzer was British but he followed Zartan to Australia, there aren't really British Dreadnoks that we know of. I'd like to believe that Zanzibar is East African due to his character. The Dreadnoks really need more black and hispanic members in my opinion. Burnout is cool. I don't know how you create hispanic members and avoid comparisons to MS-13, and the Dreadnoks are not known for slaughtering entire villages, so that's a thing to consider. I am confident it could be done though. Recently in the comics Larry has made suggestions that Zartan and the Dreadnoks actually have strong business ties in a Cambodia-like country in SE Asia. Not sure how deeply he'll delve into that plotline if he ever returns to it, but they are definitely international in scope.

“Cops wear camouflage when they arrest people in city drug raids,” said Ben, a Bay Area activist. “But they’re in a city. It doesn’t help them, but it makes them look more intimidating.” “A group of people all dressed in black** can be intimidating ... but also makes it easier for saboteurs to take the offensive against storefronts, banks and any other material symbols and power centers of capitalism and the state.” "There have been occasional attempts to co-opt the bloc look by right-wing fascist groups ... adopting an overdressed, old-fashioned style often referred to as “dapper.” So, while they wear khakis and white polos, the black bloc are left with some particular defensive and offensive benefits of their very own." "It’s why soldiers and police have uniforms. It’s why sports teams have apparel for themselves and their fans, why brands have logos and consistent colorways, why fascists get slightly too-short versions of David Beckham haircuts and pin frogs to their lapels." * https://www.hisstank.com/forum/5438413-post7.html ** Or purple & green.
