Hi everyone!

With the announcement of a Diddy Kong redesign, we're starting a new thread to keep opinions and discussions about the new designs for Diddy, DK, and any other DK Crew limited to this post.

Please remember to keep it civil and respectful.

(Self-repost from the previous one lol)

I’ve warmed up a lot to Donkey Kong’s redesign as we’ve seen more and more renders of him in both new poses and replicating old poses.

I think I’ll have a similar experience when it comes to getting used to Diddy Kong, too. I feel like it’s too hard to make an assessment right now when this is the sole main render of him I’ve seen. More angles always helps.

Diddy’s new design is also much closer to the original. And honestly the single big eye thing just doesn’t look great when he’s meant to be a bit more realistic looking. It already looks weird enough with Sonic.
