I'm honestly curious just what people were expecting Thugs to look like. Sure, a small minority were looking to make a Family-type character, and I can dig their disappointment, but what about the rest of ya?

I wasn't look for Family type or gangsta but I was looking for some "tough" looking henchman rather than the current "skate punk". I don't mind them looking normal but as they are now they just look weak. The Tier 1s even look a bit to small to be carrying the size of the guns they have. I was expecting they at least to be on par with the body size of the lowliest of Skulls, Hellions, or Outcasts, but they don't. Compared to those groups they look mal-nurished.
The current look just doesn't look very Thug to me. I saw the Tier 2 the other day on test and he at least looks normal sized and not all skin and bones. As I have said in other posts my "bad" guy just wouldn't hang with these scrubs much less work with them.
Specifically what I expected came from the video that was going around from Cryptic some time ago. Don't remember what it is made for but there is a still shot breaking down the thugs in that someone made and those guys look right on time. Wish I had a link for the shot but I know I got it from these forums so its around here if you have not seen it. Much more cool than the current thug incarnation imo.
Edit: Found the video still picture.
This is what I expected the Thugs to look like. And I don't care if they couldn't keep the trenchcoats at least these guys have some meat on their bones and visual flavor.
