So, Hasbro Pulse had its holiday sale, and I’d kind of been regretting passing / waiting for clearance at Target on the GI Joe Classified Dreadnok Gnawgahyde and Pork Bellly because, well, there are no better 1:12 scale animals being made these days than the animal companions Hasbro has been throwing in with Classified figures, and that goes for the wart hog or boar, Pork Belly.
Plus I (as you’ll see) was definitely getting the core three Dreadnoks, so why not get another one? Gnawgahyde is cool, a sort of mix between Steve Irwin and Kraven The Hunter if they were both evil swamp mercenaries. So I ended up with the set. And I know this is because they don’t have to pay for the license, but when it comes to Amount Of Stuff At A Given Price Point, even a slightly overpriced deluxe Joe Classified big box pack really delivers on the goods front. In addition to his animal companions, he comes with a bunch of bow shit and some sniper shit.
So anyway, that meant that out of six G.I. Joe Classified Dreadnoks released to date, I owned… five. Shit.
So, Road Pig! I probably should have balked at the price point on this, but SUBCOLLECTION COMPLETIONISM. That’s worth five bucks.
Road Pig is a big boy. Big beefy Mad Max lookin’ dude with a riot chield and a cinder block hammer and an even fancier pig head hammer and three heads including one that’s a pig mask and a meat hook and a whole-ass dog friend with his own muzzle and swappable head and that’s ANOTHER animal companions..
Articulation is also VERY functional for an oversized, muscly figure, which is nice.
So now I’m a Dreadnok completionist and have another one on pre-order for later this year. Gotta work on a group pic in a few weeks.
As for the pic, I hate it and don’t know how to fix it and will probably take the concept and do a complete re-do at some point in the future but we dont just post the good stuff.
