Thoughts on Lobo's redesign?

[Rasha]

So, recently my boy decided to get himself a new shampoo and now he looks a bit different.
I do love his face redesign, looks cleaner, especially the eyes which were a bit too close to each other and now they look fabulous.
But the new purple coat kind of makes him look like a popsicle (is that a bad thing?), I'm very used to his old faded, grayish purple color and now he's all brite and shiny in a way I'm not very used to.
I have him and I love him (as always) but he seems a wee bit like a new person to me, the new coat is a grower for sure.

What do you think of the new makeover?

I didnt realize he had a new design! When I saw him my camp for the very first time I thought he was way too bright purple and let him go lol
I looked him up and saw he was a darker more gray purple and I wouldve liked that better, I feel like hes too bright ;; (I want to avoid too bright villagers cause Fuchsia is enough LOL)

 

[Miss Misty]

I definitely preferred the old grayish color of his fur.

 

[necrofantasia]

he was better before, looks like he spilled grape juice on himself now.

 

[Heartcore]

HE'S STILL THE BEST. PERIODT.

 

[Alicia]

I noticed they changed his fur color, but I didn't look into the details too much.
He looks good, but I do miss his old gray/blue fur color a bit!

I was never the biggest fan of Lobo prior but I do kind of like his new color now a bit more.

 

[Khaelis]

He looks fine, but his brighter tinted fur makes him look to similar to Wolfgang. Actually ran into Lobo on a mystery tour last week and I lost my heck because I thought it was Wolfgang.

 

[Aliya]

I liked when he was more gray because he looks similar to Wolfgang now. It's a nice color, I just don't think it suits him as well

 

[seliph]

i'm not a big fan of the wolves to begin with but his newfound artificial grape flavouring was definitely a downgrade

 

[Believe]

I'm still quite fond of him. The eyes were always slightly off to me so regardless of his slight color change I think he's improved overall

 

[Rosewater]

His face looks nicer but why'd they paint him blue

 

[Halloqueen]

Didn't notice there was a change until coming across this thread and looking it up. I do prefer the old coloration compared to this, but I don't hate the new one. He remains one of my two favorite Wolf villagers alongside Freya.

I do think he’s a tad too saturated, but I’m not complaining. He’s a sweet baby

 

[Carole]

I think he looks cool! I haven't come across him in the game yet, though, just saw him in online "photos".

 

[tobi!]

LOVE IT. He was my least favorite wolf because of his wonkyness in earlier games

 

[Xara]

i think it’s cute! i’ve always liked lobo and his new design doesn’t make me like him any less ;u;

 

[Mayor-of-Bliss]

He grew on me a lot. I kind of like him better now because his eyes arent so crazy. In NH hes actually pretty close to Wolfgang. Before he more just okay.
I replaced him with Cherve and found him on a tour right after and had to get him again.
I think they just wanted a more cartoony look I guess?
The purple doesnt bother me it makes him match the game more but I have Sherb and lots of other bright villagers lol

 

[Underneath The Stars]

wait... no pics???? i haven't seen him yet!!!

edit: okay i just googled him what did they to my boi, i prefer his muted fur as well.. one of the reasons i liked him was his color

 

[coffee biscuit]

I definitely prefer his old design. He looked more like a werewolf and now he looks.. idk, softer? I prefer the dark blue/dark purple over the lighter purple. I wouldn't want him in my town or anything so as long as other Lobo fans like him that's all that matters.

I honestly wish they wouldn't change villagers.. they made Roscoe's inner ears a bright magenta color in NH instead of a greyish purple for some reason and it looks.. really, really bad.
