Rockabilly Astro Boyd Biker Hog: Insane Anime Clown Piggy


Astro B.O.Y.D.!, the newest episode of Disney's DuckTales animated series, took place in Japan.  Among the new characters introduced in this episode was Clown, a biker pig with a giant pompadour.  Clown wears a scary clown helmet that somehow does not ruin his perfect hair.  I decided to build a figure of Clown using rocks and shells.

The Astro B.O.Y.D. episode features a ton of Anime Easter Eggs, including characters inspired by Lupin III and Sailor Moon.  I don't know if Clown is influenced by any particular Japanese character, or maybe just the popularity of Pompadours and Rockabilly in Japan.


Clown's helmet is a smooth, round rock that doubles as a support structure for the figure.

Clown is one bad hog.  It is hilarious to me that he is a pig with huge pectoral muscles.
