The only gripe I have on Road Pig is that I don't like the human skull on his shoulderpads. I just don't think wearing human remains as a trophy is fitting with how I envision any of the characters, even bad guys.
I know the Nocks are bad, but wearing a human skull is a bit too far IMO - I know they are based stylistically on Mad Max as well but it's just a minor personal taste thing for me. I would love it on a custom if displayed with other gritter characters but just don't like it for a standard mainline release. Hopefully it's easy to remove. I also think maybe not making half a dozen different on-the-nose "pig" gimmicks via tats, armor etc. would be better and I plan to tone down that down somehow. Ok, those are 2 issues for me but I still really like the figure.

Road Pig definitely looks better when half his face is covered by that mask. Might be enough for me to pick him up on clearance down the road. Still not a day one preorder for me though. |

I see what you mean, but I guess I am okay with it. The 'Noks are using chainsaws, flamethrowers, giant machetes, cinder block hammers and arrow guns, so a skull doesn't seem too over-the-top to me in their world. I also see what you mean about the pig references being all over and maybe too many of 'em and being excessive. Luckily, the tattoo can removed fairly easily though I will just keep it. I don't mind the knee pad with the bovine head either. I do see your points and totally see why those things could bother some folks. I love all the sculpt details on him, you can tell they broke the bank with him and Road Pig. I especially love the really organic, alien looking textures present on NE.

Thought the same thing. The face is the only issue IMO, not as bad as Falcon was, but the muzzle or pig head will be on display for sure.

Smart enough to know where and what to take. Dumb enough to stare right at the cameras while doing it.
