So I finally opened up the Retaliation Roadblock and realized that the weapon handle is sculpted into his right hand. Terrible judgement. I don't know why they did this. This was one of the few figures I wanted but didn't know about that little detail. Oh well, has anyone found any good replacement hands to swap out with?

They fit in there fine, but the seem looks a little off.

I used a Shock Trooper's, so I don't see why Stalker/ÜberSnake Eyes hands wouldn't.
They aren't great aesthetically, but I prefer the extra articulation.

Word is you need to trim a little off of the peg on Stalker's hands and then they work fine.

Renegades Firefly worked really well for me.

They have a pefectly usable hand for single pack RB.....the 3 pack RB has the right hand Hasbro sculpted.....I have no idea why they wouldn't have just included that little right hand with the figure too. That simple solution would have made so many more tankers & kids happy, I think.

The 3 pack retaliation roadblocks hands worked great for mine:

I guess any black gloved hand would work. Maybe Bazooka/Benchpress hands and paint them black?

I swapped out a POC blueshirt's hand. I blueshirt amoung many now has a tool/gun he'll never put down.
Black gloved hands from an army builder seems like a good way to go.

I used the 30th beachhead hands. Fit perfectly.

Talk to ReturnOfPlex (http://www.hisstank.com/forum/members/returnofplex.html). I just bought one off him, and he did a great job.

Go return that figure and buy the three pack version. Yeah, he's got a arashikage tattoo and camo paint but at least he's got usable hands.

I'm using a 25th Roadblock hand for now.

It's good enough for now. Debating on picking up the 3pack. If I do then I'll give him the hand/vest/weapons from that one.

I think Onyx was going to cast some "dojo" roadblock hands.

I'm using Heavy Duty's right hand as well. You really can't tell the difference.

Got an extra one of those already. Might have to go pick up Ret RB at Wally World now.

Yes those work ok, so do ROC RIA Heavy Duty.

I'm surprised that with so many good casters here nobody has cast a set of hands in black....

Didnt want to sacrifice my 3 pk RB's hands, so I used MU Steve Rogers hands and lego levers. The lever work great for hands that have small wrist pegs.

Also cut out that molded piece from RB's right hand & repainted it black and once you place a weapon in there, you cant tell the difference.
Also saw someone cut the cuffs off both hands and use them for hands that had little to no cuffs on the replacement hands.

I personally used 25th Shipwreck's hands. Got a nice left gun-hand and a nice right fist for punchin' Cobras now.
Pic related. He MAY BE a "Ninja commando" in the movie. but he will always be a jive-rhymin' gourmet chef to me.

The wave 2 Roadblock makes up for it. Rocker ankles, double jointed knees, ball jointed wrists. The accessories, incomplete n the eBay auction, seem great too with lots of modular attachments able to be fitted into the vest.
