His original figure was very muscular and really big and beefy, bit he wasn't ripped like some figures were (Raptor and Big Boa and Steam-Roller were actually ripped).







This is what I plan on doing too. If he is impossible to get on Pulse, to ebay I go lol

I?m not sure how Road Pig is in the comics but he doesn?t seem like the body builder type to me. I have a hard time imagine any Dreadnok even Road Pig watching their diet and everything they put in their bodies to get the six pack abs and body builder physique. I don?t see Road Pig as the lean meats and vegetable kinda guy.

Didn't notice until you mentioned it. Wonder if that may change during production? I guess it doesn't bother me if it is missing, but I probably do prefer it.

I'd probably stick a generic head under the helmet and use WW head for a custom trooper. Not how I envisioned he'd look but happy that Hasbro did that.

To me he looks like a weasely cocky POS. Which is in line with a hot shot pilot type. Its all sort of moot because as MistaC put it, he will always be wearing his helmet.

Saw photos online that they are doing walk up sales now that the con is almost over. So if anyone is still there and wants to hook me up with a Once a Man or Darth Maul, I'll pay shipping + 10% finders fee!
Hey can't hurt to ask

I guess, but that is adding quite the cost to the figure for something you will never use. If someone had told me years ago that if I wanted to preorder 4 figures it would cost me over $250 I would have said no way. But in here Canada anyway, that appears to be where we are. Is everything a deluxe moving forward?

Yeah, if WW is displayed in the plane it would make more sense to do it with the helmet on. Mine's going to be WW in the cockpit, Baroness in the gunner seat (hopefully), and probably sell the gunner.

Wild Weasel and Scrap Iron could be twins under their helmets. Seems all the Cobra guys with helmets have scarring on their faces.

Yeah, that's always my thought when people criticize the face. He's not supposed to be a serious guy, and part of Joe pilots giving him credit for being a great pilot goes hand-in-hand with him not being a completely unhinged maniac like CC or Mindbender. He's in it for the thrills and the cash.
