Apparently it's a cross between a Warpig and a Sinner, in a distressed regular-size P-90 cover:

I guess it must be hotter than a normal P-90.  I think you can also get it humbucker-sized, as a "MQ Pig-90".

I'm pretty sure Phil King has one, not sure who else.

yep, it's basically a sinner single coil in a p90 shell, or a mississippi queen shell, it's not exactly like either of those, but if'n y'all ask tim i'm sure he'll tell ye, ( les o course he says "i ain't makin' non more o' those funny pickups!) he probably will though, he's good like that!

i don't drink by the way (apart from alcohol,...)
cry HAVOC!! and let slip the pigs of war!!!

The Pig90 I got was a full sized P90 but with a distressed cover and the allen bolt polepieces.

Can't say what it sounded like as it wouldn't fit in my '67 jr (had to return it).

I have a Pig-90 in an LP Junior.  It has more bass than a regular P-90 and is not quite as open.  It uses the allen bolt polepieces and comes with a distressed cover (though I changed it to a regular nickel one to make it fit better).

It gets a sound like Tony Iommi had for 'Behind the Wall of Sleep', full range but still with single coil clarity.
So many pickups, so little time

Hmm, I'm thinking of using one as a neck pickup on a baritone project (with a nailbomb at the bridge). Any thoughts?

I was thinking that a neck humbucker might be too loose on a baritone, and thought the extra bite of a P90 might fit the bill. If you look on a lot of signature baritones the "neck" humbucker is more of a middle humbucker, if you see what I mean.
