This is the one figure that I really did not like. Ok you get it is an ogre. This figure is missing what i liked about the rest of the set. Good, sculpt, paint and layout.
My initial feeling is similar to others. His upper torso seems out of proportion to the rest of the body. He looks like he would fall over with those tiny feet. I really like the paint detail, although he is a bit pale for my taste. I would have liked to see a bit more brown or green or even darker gray. A very good fig.
I like this piece a lot. It could have been a great piece with just a bit more work.
The sculpt is, I think very good. The proportions are odd and the face looks like someone beat up a head of cauliflower, but it's very evocative of the inbred creepy off-ness of Paizo ogres. The detail is very nice, whether one is looking at the body, the clothing, or the club. He's a big fellow, nearly hill-giant size, so he's impressive to see next to mediums. Overall I think it's an excellent sculpt that does what it's supposed to do: depict an enormous inbred misshapen cannibalistic hillbilly with a club.
The paint job is where it loses a star, however. I thought the detailing on the face and the equipment was very good and I have no complaints there. What does bother me is the lack of differentiation on the skin. There's a lot of monotone gray skin, and the figure really could have used highlights/a dark wash for the shadowed areas to break things up a bit and bring out details of the sculpt. As it is, it looks weird and kind of dull, which is just a shame on such a good sculpt.
Overall I like the figure a lot, and it can be made much better with a few minutes and a medium gray wash. Out of the box, it's a bit bland.
Great detail on the armor and club put very poor detail in the face and skin. There are veins and tendons in the sculpt but no paint to show variation in the skin tone. I also agree with Scott, the proportions seem a bit off.
