New piece set - anarcandy

What do you guys think of it? I personally don't think it's a bad piece set; I get used to it after a few games
It's even more hilarious than the horsey piece set, just the baby king is... a true baby. And the pawns are like street cones; It's true, they block everything.
Maybe it is fun. Looks more usable than Horsey. But too many colours (esp. the queens' crowns) for my taste.
I stick with Tatiana or Companion. Simple, calm, and I can easily see what's going on.
Horsey is more usable, imo. The pieces look slightly like pieces in that set.

but the rooks in anarcandy are just unusable to me.

Also, why is the bishop a pear with the antifa logo on it??

I suspect cham had something to do with making this set lol
I just changed my piece set to check what it looks like...

It's really funny but I wouldn't be able to play a serious game with it - it's just to far away from the standard and my brain tilts, so I would have to think like 10x longer on every move. It's like an adittional weight penalty in some sports.
I'm pretty sure i'd 80% get better results by playing blindfold than with this crazy but lovely set of pieces... :)

AAAH, I just realized, that I struggle with the CAPTCHA now... X) ...done, finally!
I like the horse with the sunglasses :) At first I couldn't figure out what the pieces were as the rook had a knight symbol on it for some reason, it's probably a bit too distracting for me but definitely fun!
I love it, but I feel like making the pawns croissants (Google en croissant) and the queen a 9V battery from u/scurlocc's game are massive missed opportunities
For those confused, the set is one big r/anarchychess reference.

The knights are the r/anarchychess logo.
King in pampers (Petrosyan quote reference)
Brick rooks (in case you don’t take en passant)

Bishop pears (with the anarchy logo) is just a good pun.

I don’t know if the pawns and queen are specific references.
