Score: 9,5
Card art: Super cool bad guy from the moment I saw him for the first time in stores and in the Euro catalogue. A combination of Blain from Predator and Hulk Hogan. Too bad the real hat didn't have the same fur colours as on the card. Figure sculpt + colours: The pants kinda should've been green or brown IMO, but that's just nit picking. Nice evil grin on his face, strong physique, a real baddy. Awesome knife sheath on his lower leg. Weapons + accessories: This is a figure with a ton of cool weapons. Great gun, for some reason I used it as a machine gun. I just didn't understand why the bipod was positioned so close to the grip??? Backpack with arrows is nicely detailed. Machete and knife are great as well. I just didn't know what to think of that hog: did he train it to find/attack the Joes!? Gnawgahyde would've been a 10 for me if he had one or two loose arrows to shoot with his bow. Memories from your youth: I got him as a present for a school mark list. He was my third Dreadnok, already had Road Pig and Zanzibar. Because of that pic in the Euro catalogue where Gnawgahyde and a bunch of Alley Vipers attack the dojo, I always used him as an officer. Not exactly with that rank, but because of his tracking skills he's considered as a very experienced mercenary. |

Head is silly, but...
8/10 Lot of gear, he also stands out in 1989, not another sci-fi robot-looking trooper with strange weapons. |

Card Art: Good but not great. It's got enough character to make him stand out but it doesn't quite "pop" as much as it should, possibly due to the posing and making room for the Warthog. 7/10
Figure Sculpt + Colors: On one hand, I feel like camo or khaki cargos instead of blue-jeans would make more sense. But on the other the blue kinda does make the figure pop. Sculpt is overall quite good with a deduction for a bit of a wonky headsculpt. 8/10 Weapons + Accessories: Probably the best-equipped Dreadnok. Road Pig might compete, but this dude was loaded with stuff that was both cool and made sense for what his job was. The Warthog is a little wacky but a trained Warthog would actually be pretty terrifying. 10/10 Memories from your youth: Honestly probably my favorite Dreadnok, likely due to his awesome accessory loadout. He got a lot of playtime and was Outback's arch-enemy for a long time. 9/10 Overall: 8.5/10 - An excellent figure, bordering on great. |

Never had him, but the character is a good wacky idea for a Dreadnok. Even though we all admit by this point that he's a Kraven the Hunter riff, right?
Agree that the head is awful, but 8/10 otherwise. Nice accessory loadout. |

Also he's the scariest Dreadnok aside from Zartan in my opinion. Look at his weapons. He's the Dreadnok sniper and silent weapons guy. He may be a poaching hobbiest but he's clearly an assassin as well.
