A legendary skin that Pig should have

Yes, I made an earlier yesterday but want to attempt a better job of saying why Billy the Puppet should be a Legendary skin. Last post about it because I just want to make better points on this since last time only a few people actually gave a thought about it and no I am not doing this every day.

Billy the Puppet.

When I mean legendary skin, I mean that when wearing this you are not Amanda anymore but a creation of the late John Kramer that has been given life by the Entity.

1 is to make Billy all dirty. Not broken or dismantled just with slight tears, a lot of dirt spots, and scratched/cracked where wooden parts are. Have his eyes have a slight glow like the Entity has given him life. Below are few examples of this Billy I am describing.

Another example of a withered/old Billy is Clown's costume. How it appears old and dirty but i again you are not Amanda anymore, you are Billy the puppet.

Another idea is this.

Long brimmed hat with a long leather coat similar to Ghostface's. Then have the clean or dirty Billy as the head. This would give more of an assassin-type design while making it recognizable he is Billy. Another thing is to add the Spiral on the back of his coat. Could also replace the hat with a bowler hat like the one Billy wore in the short film.

How to make the skin lore-friendly if Amanda is not the killer

1 : I prefer this method out of the other two I listed. The Entity brought Billy the Puppet into the realm and gave life to it which caused the puppet to become human-sized. The Entity did this to desecrate John Kramers legacy and his original idea to make people grateful for life and to give people a second at it.

2: Have Hoffman dress up as Billy the Puppet [not a fan since neither a puppet or Kramer but might as well]

3: Have the past version of John Kramer dressed as Billy when he just wanted revenge at people but mostly the doctor that made a mistake of his medical scans. [50/50 for me]



Why no Amanda/piggy?

She already has plenty of cosmetics and since we are accustomed to her as the Pig , having a Billy the puppet skin not as a legendary would just not look right on her, and not hearing Billy's laughter would be disappointing.

I love the Saw franchise but I am more attached to Billy the Puppet rather than Amanda. Anytime I watch Saw or any fan content is I always see Billy out of 90% of the time when something horrific happens.

Billy is just as important to Kramer or to the Saw franchise just as Amanda. He was created as a gift for his unborn child which later was used to deliver a message to victims in Kramer's game. His spirals on his cheek became very important in the film "Spirals". Not listing any other reason since most of you Saw fans probably know already because he is in every Saw movie.

Also Skin as Legendary would be more interesting mostly if you include my first reason on how to make it lore-friendly and Legendary Skin would have different models like Krampus and Minotuar.



Have the voice changed when wearing Billy

The key thing that the idea should have is when wearing the skin it replaces the default voice of pig with Billy's laughter and/or a disguised voice that Kramer used when speaking out of Billy in the movies.

Imagine working on a gen and instead of the oink sound you hear laughter, then a human-sized puppet with glowing eyes ambushes you. Now that would be scary and also Mori would look amazing when wearing the skin.


Main point

I just like Billy the Puppet and recognize him more as a Saw icon and gladly pay 15 bucks for a Legendary skin of him but also I like Pig's power. I love the Saw franchise and the Killer's power but I would kill for a Legendary Billy the puppet skin with voice over and pretty sure many people would buy it if it looked creepy enough.


Again yes I made an earlier post about it but just wanted to do a better discussion rather than just a few sentences.

Also seen something about new about SAW in the game so might as well through this idea out.

    Again I know I made same post yesterday but just want to do a final attempt to do a better job at this discussion since this will probably be irrelevant in the future as a possible Legendary skin.
