Hell the card are depicted him being even larger more imposing than the figure he almost should have been chewbacca sized . Even vader was underscaled

And now he has that pig faced warhammer so I guess he has to be bigger ??

I think Road Pig still looks super strong.. he's just built more like a Worlds Strongest Man competitor than a Mr. Olympia type. The first pics I take will be of him shoulder checking a VAMP.

The only real grail item is pimp daddy destro. Has anyone seen one in package or loose? What do those go for now.

Yeah this Road Pig still looks strong, he's just not ripped. He's built like an old school lineman. I honestly do think we're looking at a Fridge off this mold.

In fairness, The Fridge was depicted as being hacked too in our action figure. They couldn't do big dudes back then, or at least I don't recall one...

That is definitely a grail my dude, but far from the only one.

If you really vintage collect , you know the unicorns in gi joe character and vehicles.

And you guys who want to define what the grail definition is to you, save it.

Grails are the elusive/once in a blue moon/hardly even seen for sell or auction, pieces. Period.

The ones you very rarely see if ever.

He’s talking about the real one man. 3 3/4 1997 version.

For me it's ecause of his card art and promo images. His figure was big and beefy, but I wouldn't say jacked. Big Boa and Raptor looked jacked and ripped with chiseled physiques. But I guess I think of jacked being someone who is more shredded or like I said, chiseled. Road Pig is definitely like a world's strongest man, super strong, has a ton of mass muscle, but also has a lot of fat over the muscle. Sometimes sort of soft looking, but still strong and muscular. If that makes sense. So I see RP looking like an NFL offensive linemen, like some of us have said.

I've posted these before, but they are examples of Road Pig being more beefy and less ripped or jacked. He's got a belly and has a double chin.

Now I will show my ignorance. When did an "alternate head" to pop on your action figure suddenly become a "portrait"? I seem to recall that on AliExpress 3 or 4 years ago and just assumed it was another awful translation. Somehow "extra head" got confused with a painting/photo of a person.
noun
1. a painting, drawing, photograph, or engraving of a person, especially one depicting only the face or head and shoulders.
"a portrait of George III"
2. a format of printed matter or screen display that is higher than it is wide.
"it's too wide in landscape, and awkward to hold in portrait"

But now I see several different toy companies advertising alternate heads as portraits all the time. When and why?
