Nemesis looks amazing on the other hand.

For me, Road Pig has been a reverse from the norm. Often, renders and early looks grow on me over time and I'm pretty happy with the finished product. For example I'm digging Raptor more and more over time.

But with Road Pig, I was fine with him at first, but the more I see his two faces, that open-mouth head just conjures up King Hippo from 8-bit Tyson's punchout to the point I want to punch him in the face and follow up with 15 body blows to his tattooed stomach.

I already canceled my pre-order.

Haha a good analogy. To me he looks like he should be in the next Wreck It Ralph movie and not the Classified line. While I had Road Pig as a kid, my emotional attachment to that figure isnt terribly strong so its not too hard to pass on this one. The inflated price by including a pet that was made up for this release makes the decision even easier.

IMO, it's not that Road Pig is *bad* per se, it's just a wholly different sculpt style than Classified has been to this point. If you laid the head sculpt next to a few other Classified head sculpts, it would look like it was from a different toy line.

So, going by EE it looks like the pulsecon pre orders are gonna go up the same day on the 13th later in the afternoon?

I don't love the animated movie, with he exception of the opening, but really like the sculpt for Nemesis Enforcer.

I agree with both of your points ?

Roadpig is ugly and weird looking im skipping my normal 2 from the start and will wait to purchase a second one @ the target by me for cheap its happened with the last 4 and im not a clearance/sale chaser but for that ugly grimace of a face ill wait on a second either way hes going to have that pig mask/helmet on all the time his accessories make the figure its the face and the lack of Physique that kill him for me and i lived the arah version and the 25th as well .

Road Pig IS how strongman competitors look. This is a strongman competitor (Eddie Hall):

Exactly. Zero issue with his physique. While I wish the headsculpt looked more like the original card art (Sven-Ole Thorsen), I'll wait to judge it in hand, to see how he looks with the other 'noks. This knee-jerk stuff seems consistent with the 5 Stages of Figure Release. :p

Yeah, it's the face(s) that is really bad in my opinion. The rest of the figure looks fine, but I am not excited for this release at all. I think that's a good sign that I personally don't need it.
