Flab crunch is my new favorite term 🤣
@@wreckship_85 Lol you heard it here first, mate.
RUclips definitely needs more videos that feature all of following words: codpiece, tampoes, flab crunch, pauldron and derpy. Good work brother!
Hahahaha I was pretty proud of flab crunch.
That open mouth head just looks "cartoon-y" to me
I think if used in conjunction with the right pose, it's fine. You've got the breather mask to throw on it also.
Awesome video as always. Very new to RUclips. I really really enjoy your videos. Huge fan. Thank you so much for your videos and the time you put into them. Keep on crackin. Yo Joe!!
Cheers, mate. Glad you're enjoying them and I hope you're enjoying navigating the RUclips waters also. I'll have another video up tomorrow 😉
Fingers crossed my Road Pig arrives tomorrow! For me, this figure is a home run. I absolutely love it. I don't agree that he looks derpy at all. I actually like the pig head. Im looking foeward to changing his look every so often. Great video, great review, great figure, great channel. Yo Joe!!
Another awesome video mate. Keep on smashing them out brother!!!
Cheers Campbo, will do.
Looks great man. I can see a lot of details put on the design of this figure. I have to buy it.😃💡👍
A whole bunch of detail. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
Good review. I cant wait for mine to come in. I had the figure as a kid and this was an easy preorder.
Thanks, Derek. Best Road Pig we've ever had grace the property. Hope you enjoy it, mate.
Great review. Hopefully I get mine next week. He looks good.
Yeah he's top notch man
*whispers* except for buzzers sun glasses...they suck 😂😂😂
Hahahaha I tell no lies in these vids, brother.
This was one I struggled with. Didn't like him "back then" and he wasn't a must have up to this point. I don't even remember if I ordered him yet, but...I'm here for the show! Great review Shark. You might have swayed me.
Hey Blitz, thanks for the kind words. Look lets be honest,, he's probably not for everyone. I'm a fan of the Mad Max films, so he ticks that box for me. On the other hand, it's just a really nicely put together set. I think I was just pleasantly surprised by it. Maybe check out a couple of other reviews and see if that cements your decision.
I jut ordered my road pig yesterday. Cant wait for it to arrive!
Great review and always and entertaining to review!
I skipped out on this one like I did G’hyde. This wave of nocks isn’t my jam but I have the original three introduced in the classified line plus two of the siblings so far. Zandar and Zanzibar are my two remainders that are must haves for my collection. RP I don’t know if I get it at a lower than 25.99 price then perhaps I’ll get him but I may never unbox him unless I eventually get a big enough display shelf for these later intros into the Nocks line. “Candy mint” 😆
Oh man Sabir, I'm just gonna say, maybe reconsider passing on the big fella.
@@SharkEyesToyView I think I’ll try for him if he goes discounted but I don’t think he’s sold out at pulse either, but I’ll also keep checking Amzn too closer to thanksgiving in the states
Glad you’re enjoying that figure, sounds like he may be in your top three of this wave, no?
@@SharkEyesToyViewhey mate! So revisiting this topic lol I caved and bought this figure and raptor from a retailer here in the US (target) with the current weeks promotions they offered I was able to bag both of these figures I wasn’t interested in collecting at ~55 total, with free shipping. One of them is 45 USD and the other is 35 USD + taxes etc so it was good deal and discount for two figures that still aren’t even shipping from pulse here in the US this week. Surprise surprise. I told Moody that the longer I’ve stayed in this line from a collector perspective the more I find myself buying figures I had zero interest in collecting. For me I’m nearing the bottom of the barrel of the essentials I needed for my Joe Collection. The sub teams are cool and all and I buy from those here and there, I want Quarrel of course but I got falcon in his original form (with the head sculpt fix Ikaris character from ML) so technically I have “Falcon” already as an example. Anywho just wanted to update ya on my decision to buy not only road piggy but also bird man 😆 who knew
Excellent review! I’m thrilled with this figure. If you put him in an aggressive action pose the open mouth face looks good and is appropriate. Doesn’t look silly at all. Overall a great figure with great accessories. I’m happy to have it, and your review is on point as far as I’m concerned. Well done.
Hey thanks for checking it out and the high praise. As for the open mouth face sculpt, how perfect is it for action poses! Some people just want to hate for the sake of hating, without giving these things a chance.
He's badass! Thanks Shark Eyes!
Yessir. Thanks as always, ET.
Can't wait to get this guy, and like you, I'm not a huge fan of the character. Great review mate!
He's easily one of the top Joe releases of the year, mate.
He's alright, more excited for raptor
That's fair. They've taken that bird man oddball and ramped him up to look like a formidable bad ass. Can't wait to get him.
Still waiting for mine, was a favourite when I was a kid back in the 80's (89 I just checked, long time ago lol) I always loved his size and the Mad Max crossbow (which I tried to build a 1/1 functioning version of many times as a kid but settled on a Barnette Trident crossbow pistol with rotating 'barrels' eventually). I never really understood his cinderblock hammer, in my experience if you throw a cinder block at a hard object it breaks! Having a handle through it would just make it a lot weaker. New hammer's a nice upgrade, the meat tenderiser is the business end btw. Being a Biker myself I can understand the thought behind the helmet design up to a point, in the 1970's it was very common for Bikers to wear old WW1 and WW2 German helmets complete with spikes, this was the golden age of choppers! Insanely long Swedish style springer front ends, huge ape hangers, long sissy bars, coffin tanks etc..
excellent review!
Cheers mate
Great review👍🏼
Thank you kindly, sir.
I'm so glad they didn't just give him the generic, "big guy" legs that they've been reusing since Gung Ho. His feet still look weirdly small, proportionally, but at least he seems to stand pretty easily.
Thank God those legs weren't used. When I was doing the comparison between him, Gnawgahyde and VOA in the video, bet you can guess which one was the most pain in the ass to stand up straight.
Awesome figure 👍👍👍👍🥪🥤
Yeah mate super happy with it.
Not sure why so many feel like RP should be ripped, his oring figure was muscular, but not ripped (see the oring for Big Boa and Raptor for figures who were actually "ripped" figures. Not to mention a lot of promo art for RP back then had him with a double chin and looking more bulky than ripped.
I will say the face may be too young looking? And not ugly enough? I think he needed to have a round, pug nose and chubby cheeks like the original artwork had.
I think he looks exactly how I would imagine RP looking. Just a mass of a man. He still looks he has a lot of muscle too, just hidden under a layer of fat. Like a strong man should look.
Not a major gripe, but wish his box art had featured him without the pig mask.
Really looking forward to this figure though!
Nice
I think they made this body in the 1st place to use a good portion of it to make Fridge otherwise I expect this guy would have been the same body template as Gung Ho and Road Block instead.
It makes total sense hey.
Isn't the teddy bear in reference to his love for Zarana ?
Did they ever do a Drednok Monkey Wrench?
@@timeless74 He hasn't been announced as yet, but there is no way they aren't making him.
Good review!
80's Road Pig was a big intimidating giga chad of masculinity and an individual force of destruction . While the Classified version is just a chunky ( dude is chunky don't let the big arms fool you)big guy that looks like background actor or dumb muscle character from a Mad Max movie.
While the face sculpt is good. To me the facial design is dopey. Like an 80,s american high school football player who is the muscle for the big bad bully in 80's high school movies dopey. But thats me.
I will say the accessories of the Classified version make up for the underwhelming modernized body design. If he didn't come with dog, masks, and other various weapons. He just would have been a meh figure in the line. Also the garish stomach tattoo was unnecessary. It makes the body looks fatter.
If I get him I will have him just wearing the pig head. I will just make up a head cannon where he had a bad head injury on a mission. That caused some mild brain damage. So his face is all messed up. And because of that incident he briefly retired from being a Drednok due to depression and gained about 30 to 40 pds of fat lol. Then he goes back to being a Drednok because he needs the money. He is now more vicious and unpredictable.
I would like to see that riot shield fixed.
FIRST POST.
Sorry, wrong decade. I know that a lot of people are not too fond of this figure, but aside from the soft face sculpt, I think his bulkiness is perfect.
@@MrCIAD HA! Mate this figure rocks and people hating on it before they get their hands on it is another thing altogether. Then there are those who just want to hate for the sake of hating... or content.
@@SharkEyesToyView This and Falcon will make a fun Sonic Fighters 2 pack for Pulse Con next year.
Yeah, I said what I said.
PULSE CON EXCLUSIVE CONFIRMED! 😁
Great video my friend! I didn’t watch any other video of RoadPig cuz I was waiting on yours!! Can’t wait to get this guy! I still remember when I bought the original back in the day!
Heeeeey thanks so much, James. The only video I took a brief look at was D Amazing's. If you enjoyed the original figure, I can confidently say you'll love this set.
good review video bro
the good
he s a solid exact replica in almost every way
colours, accessories, better than ever!
fig proportions we ve never seen before, and perhaps promising in the future
the dog is good enough to want the kit for
the bad
the price here is of a star....
dreadnoks are not Cobras, or even military, totally optional for a cool military collection.
his face is not as mad as the 80s version, he looks dumb, not a threat.
big bodies need new construction techniques, my Kingpin can t move much, just like this fig.
I doubt he can fit in ANY vehicle... rattler? forget it!
the ugly
he used to be built, now he s just fat
the face of the Chinese engineers who had to build this fig,
as the model surely was Lenny buck naked, lol.
or in speedo, not a pretty sight, ha, ha.
ok, none of us are Greek statues, but we aim for better.
me
I had to pass on Zartan and the dreads, it s a small place here, and my finances are in collapse
I plan on surviving the Titanic, but it helps to keep the breach as small as possible,
so crimsons had to go too, and just 20 Joe agents for the missions
so hit the road pig!
I d love an animal package from Hasbro someday, the saber tooth tiger was great,
and I d love to find the dungeon & dragon black panther for.... Baroness!
so now you know...
God bless America and world peace
good show bro
I cant wait to get mine!
Firstly, great avi you've got there. Secondly, you're gonna love it.
@SharkEyesToyView thank you 🫡
A first-rate review of a first-rate set!
Cheers mate
@@SharkEyesToyView Great work!👍
I am confused by how many people were seemingly so aghast at his physique & face sculpt. I think he looks exactly like he should. HIS NAME IS "ROAD PIG", not "Gym Pig". He IS huge and powerful, but he is also a Dreadnok and eats donuts & grape soda. He's not gonna be some amazing physical specimen and none of the Dreadnoks are meant to be "good looking". The pig head and medieval pig hammer and even the dog were things I could've lived without. But I can just bag 'em and move on without complaining. 😅 Road Pig was actually one of the first original Joe figures I ever had, I associate him primarily with his cinder block hammer and his wrist bow. Stoked to get him added in with his Dreadnok buddies. 🤘🏻
Wish I could 🎯 comments on YT, because you nailed it, mate. He's in proportion, he's clearly capable of wreaking havoc and he's a giant compared to his fellow gang members. Often many collectors are overly reactive, then follows the pile-on effect. I can tell you right now, if I thought this figure or his head sculpt sucked, best believe you'd hear about it. The throw in accessories are quality and best of all (besides the shield) NO DAMN RE-USE. I dare say Gridiron will also offer something nice to compliment this set. We're so damn lucky to have this line offered up to us and allowing us a second childhood.
It’s probably because the classic figure looked like peak Schwarzenegger not an offensive lineman, so it shouldn’t be that confusing. It’d be the same as putting Sgt. Slaughter on the tunnel rat body.
@@infamousprime694 Well, you are correct, perhaps "confused " was the wrong word. But then again, I am not someone who thinks the new figs need to be a direct reproduction of what we had before. If I wanted the old O-rings I'd go BUY O-rings. I should've said I DISAGREE with people who were all up in arms saying this figure had a worse face sculpt than Falcon (c'mon now), or that he shouldn't be a big hefty guy but instead should be some Adonis, chiseled from stone, the way they remember the O-ring fig. The entire Classified series has been an interpretation of these characters, and is in no way required to be an exact reproduction of any of the versions that came before it, no more than any two comic book artists draw a character the exact same way, etc. Given the nature of this character, I think this break with previous incarnations is warranted and looks great. While I think the amount of "muscle definition" an action figure has is not really the same dramatic, extreme difference as "putting Sgt. Slaughter's head on Tunnel Rat's body', as you suggested, it's an amusing analogy.
@@Astro319 To be fair Clasdified line has been hit or miss. When it comes to the more iconic figures. They designed them as close to the original designs as possible while making small modernizing changes. Especially after the first 3 to 4 waves of the line.
While reinterpreting( ie modernizing) the late 80's( 87 to 89) odd ball characters like Raptor and Road Pig.Why? Because they were not iconic. So modernizing them more is not gonna piss off the majority of Joe fan base. 80's Road Pig was a huge buff guy. As far as a character he wasnt as dumb as the other Dreadnoks. He had a lot more common sense. So he wasn't just sitting around eating and drinking grape sodas.
80's Road Pig went from a big intimidating individual force of destruction . While the Classified version is just a big guy that looks like background actor or dumb muscle character from a Mad Max movie.
I will say the accessories of the Classified version make up for the underwhelming body design. If he didn't come with dog, masks, and other various weapons. He just would have been a meh figure in the line.
@@Damackism well, not everyone's gonna like everything, and I assume every single fig in the line has its supporters AND detractors (except og Falcon and his weird puppet head, I bet no one likes that guy 😜). I gave MY opinion and I do not expect to change anyone else's. I've already seen about 50/50 love-hate on Road Pig, I get it, not everyone's gonna be a fan, but again, I think it's an overreaction for the "dislike" crowd to completely shit on this release just because he's... not muscular enough? Doesn't have well-defined abs? He is clearly still an enormous powerhouse character; and it's not like they changed his gender or race or made him a midget. 🤷♂️ I guess a lot of people will save themselves $45 in the next couple weeks. Anyway, I LIKE him. 👍🏻
Road pig definitely worked with jigsaw
Hahaha do you want to play a game?
Not almost like, he does have a multiple personality disorder.
Yes that was bad phrasing on my behalf, Mr. Matson.
It's a childs skull. Just saying. Road pig is a true psychopath
Dark. I like it lol
@@SharkEyesToyView so if I'm a joe I'm asking if their is a possibility road pig might be there and if so I'm using one of my sick days 🤧
Hahahahaha
This figure release is such a giant miss for me. I Loved the fig as a child. It was one of my "most played with" figures by far.
The price. The fat body sculpt. The face and even the whack@$$ accessories are just heartbreaking for us old schoolers...im lumping us all in together. Haha I really hope we get a retro card fix of him. Boooo Hasbro
This old schooler is happy with it. I think Classified collectors need to keep in mind that the line is supposed to be a new take on the vintage line, not a carbon copy. I assure you the figure is much better in person than when the photos first revealed it.
Figure is butt …..head sculpts are terrible (too cartoonish looking) and the stomach tattoo is dumb ….ill wait for the retro release
