Maybe I can explain...I think wolfpack are juniorized because, while similar
to peasants from the earlier lines, they are more "cartoony" and
specialized. While a couple of "old-school" peasants could fit in well in a
number of different scenes and roles, the wolf pack guys seem more limited,
and less connected historical realism. And how did they get a picture of a
wolf on their chests, is that a T-shirt or what?
Of course questions like this are a matter of taste. I didn't mean to rip
on your sense of style, so no offense meant.
