Does anybody like the new Scrake design?

There are some designs in KF2 I don't like very much (the new mr. Foster LargeMcHuge, the new FP) and some I like more (crawlers) but the one that's really bothering me is the scrake.

The scrake used to look cold and threatening, but still calm and almost human. Like he was the only zed that still had some consciousness in him but just enjoyed killing. Pretty cool IMO.

Now in KF2 the style is completely different, and scrake looks like a drooling r*tard:

"OOGA BOOGA"

"SH*T, I DUNNO"

It's like scrake has lost all his dignity now. The googly eyes and the weird throat-mouth don't help one bit. Is there anybody else who liked the previous model more?


E: Sorry about the images, apparently they can't be shrinked

I actually have a theory about Scrake and more precisely, this picture:
http://tripwireinteractive.com/media/2208/KF2_Jan27_017.jpg

Let's first analyze the picture. What we can see:
1. Traders camera on the side of the roof
2. Ketchup on the wall + Scrake
3. Scrake is wearing blacksmiths apron, thus making him a blacksmith
4. Scrake is angry.

Theory:
Scrake bought a hotdog from the trader, but since he has built alot of muscle mass from blacksmiths work, he squeezed the hotdog too hard, which resulted in the ketchup spreading on the wall and his apron. The hotdog is now ruined. Scrake becomes mad and starts killing everyone, including the players.

Where's the BLACKSMITH!!??

Seriously though, all the new zeds look amazing so far, albeit the Scrake seems a bit weird, but i'll have to see him in game before I make my final judgement. Also im not a big fan of the new stalker. I don't mind the pitch black skin, it's just that her old smexy hairdew is gone.

I like how he has an elephant-man thing goin on now. Makes more sense that he can take so much punishment. The one in the first game kinda looked like he had psoriasis. I dunno wassup with his mouth thingy but it reminds me of strogg so I like that too.
As far as his huurduur thing,
well, I like that too. All the zeds in the first game seemed so chill. Their calm demeanor didn't really fit their aggression. I know it may have been creepy, but it was also pretty strange. In KF2 allllll of the zeds appear to me more aware that they're trying to kill you.
