Still need to add his cinder block hammer, and arm guard and a strap around his leg to hold those rockets, but he's 98% complete.   This pic shows that he stands almost a full head taller than the other noks.  as always, comments, suggestions, and hate mail appreciated! |

Not sure what parts you used, TC, but Road Pig looks kinda scrawny from the waist down. If you look at Monkeywrench and Buzzer, they have big waists and legs. Road Pig just looks like he's be in a coma for a few years. His legs and waist should be the same width as his shoulders... I don't know enough of what 25th parts there are out there to even suggest other option. The only thing I could think of is using the Buzzer legs and putting some sculpty on them to add mass... What parts did you use, btw? |

Yeah, way cool from the waist up. His crotch kinda looks back to front, and the thighs could do with some beefing up maybe. I think the lower legs will be ok. Love the head, btw. |

Thanks guys, RP uses Serpentor torso, upper legs and feet, with Zartan Lower legs. and SHS Collossus cast head. I went with Serpy because he is the tallest figure in the line next to Destro and Destro's legs are even skinnier. I may try to beef his legs up with sculpy like I did his chest. and I just looked at the original figure and realised I need to sculpt a cod piece for him.  contrary to rumours that will be a first for me.

I like him and since there are no 25th legs big enough yet they don't bother me. When and if hasbro does make em bid enough, swap them out. Do you need the hammer I have quite a few? |

 They're talking about Roadpig's what? Apparently some one is willing to play with him. There does need to be some sort of bulg there. But really it is a very nice custom and I only knit pick it because I envy your skill

Really nice to see this one finished. He does look a bit undersized from the waist down. But didn't looks so in the WIP pics. Either way I dig him. |

Man, I love your 25th 'Noks. Road Pig is about as good as I'd imagine he can get using existing parts from the line. Of course, if you were to pillage some more SHS parts, there's no telling how much more intimidating he could be... |

Very cool, if a bit on the small side from the waist down (the shoulders to waist ratio makes him look almost like a JLU figure so this would work as a kick-ass animated version of RP!). You have a pretty impressive group of 25A style 'Noks going on

You know it's funny that you mention that because I was just talking to gijoey about trying a SHS Venom torso and upper legs. Spec, Thanks, I'm just waiting on my comic pack for Torch and Ripper and I already have the head for my 25th Zandar and Zarana, then I just need to make Thrasher, Gnawgahide, and Zanzibar and they will be complete

Not sure why your selling yourself so short. Out of all the 25th Ann I have opened or have seen online, Buzzer is the only production one worth keeping, imo. Your Monkey Wrench, if possible, would be the second one that I would keep. |

Aww shucks, now you're making me blush. But seriously, thanks to everyone for your compliments and feedback. |
