Outside of the obvious candidates ...
Based on the vintage versions, the vehicle drivers/pilots had some of the very best-looking sculpts. I'm thinking particularly of W.O.R.M.S. and Strato-Viper. But there are others ... such as Armadillo. (Just joking.) Oh, and I'm a huge fan of the Thrasher character. (Though I'm aware of the trademark issues.) Plus the more Dreadnoks, the better. |

I'd like to see that same design ethos applied to all the Dreadnoks, especially the more outlandish ones. Road Pig springs to mind. Thrasher too, since he already has that Mad Max vibe. Ideally, I'd like to see a Road Pig figure that is even larger and bulkier than Roadblock. I imagine him to be the biggest dude in the GI Joe universe (well, maybe Nemesis Enforcer is bigger, IDK). They could make this guy into a real monster of a dude. Sell him as a deluxe figure.

They talked about how they wanted him to convey a creepy, almost otherworldly, unsettling vibe ... They wanted to make Zartan legitimately scary ...

And yeah, Zartan seems sorta like a ghoul. Reminds me of the scene where the Wishmaster tricks that hobo into killing the pharmacist. (BTW, for anyone who hasn't seen that movie, consider yourself fortunate.) A scarier Dreadnok gang would be quite cool, actually. As long as the more macabre aspects aren't taken too far. Not, like, full Rob Zombie. For instance, I notice a member here really, REALLY wants Zarana and Zandar to be twins (for some reason). Which would be okay (I guess), assuming we're talking about fraternal twins, not conjoined ones. |

Kinda like a cross between the Marvel comics version and Solomon Grundy?

Speaking of scariness factor, honestly, when Zartan was revealed, I thought "oh, they're kind of giving him a slight horror aspect, aren't they...I wonder if this will be the case for all the Dreadnoks?". But you are right, they shouldn't go overboard with this. I trust Lenny to find the right balance. I think he and the design team are having a lot of fun with the Dreadnoks. I can't wait to see more 'Nok reveals!
