That's kind of exactly how I feel about Road Pig. I didn't mind his head at first... but over time, it's made me rethink my order. The goofiness of the face sculpt is one thing, but the tattoos don't help either. They really need to tone down all the tats... it's getting a bit excessive.

Yeah I don't like his head sculpt either, but he seems to have a face mask to cover his mouth and that pig head mask is kinda neat. I think I'll probably display him wearing one of those rather than his traditional look.

I do think Roadpig would be better served with ShootingTheGalaxy product shots we usually get that aren't included on his product pages for some reason.

Have they announced when Nemesis Enforcer is going up for preorder?

It got me thinking about OAMCC and Golobulus. The little snake man in CC's box has the bendy tail, so I'm thinking they may do the same thing with Golobulus again. Just better than the '87 version.

People would still be FOMOing even if it was up for a couple weeks to be fair. But I don't see how anyone can deny this was an unusually short run for a Classified vehicle that wasn't a convention exclusive. And literally the only Classified vehicle that didn't go up a second time before archived.

Agree it?s a good thing when hasbro sells out, let there be a secondary market for these things, will make the line more desirable.

They have not but I'd expect it to go up during Pulsecon.

My ideal version of Golobulus would be detachable at the waist so he can plug into his weird floating pod thing, since that's how he appeared on the OAMCC box (as a render? or maybe a prototype figure? or just art? it's hard to tell for me) but then also a snake lower body that can coil around to "stand".

And maybe even a pair of actual legs.

I can see that happening. In the movie anyway the pod was on the large side so maybe the tail could be coiled to fit in it without detaching.

Heaven help some of us if a few hours to get a pre-order in is now considering a "long" time.

They went full force on the ?a face only a mother could love? part of his file card.
Maybe a future retro version will have the Dolph Lungren-esque physique of the original toy?

I don't think that's really issue. I think the issue is the head doesn't fit the aesthetic of the line. It's weirdly cartoon-y.
