I don't know if it's just me

But Poppy's new design bears a striking resemblance to The Kid from Bastion.

Small person, big hammer. Wears armor with a red collar, and even both have white hair.

Also yes The Kid also uses a shield in the game as well.

I'm sure this comparison has been brought up before, but her new splash makes her look even more similar to the point where I personally think it's questionable.

But that's just me.

On a side note, every time I use her passive I'm gonna yell "Shield Slash"
