Hasbro G.I. Joe Retaliation Wave 1 Roadblock Figure Review - YouTube
Not my video but I thought I'd share. You know Hasbro, unlike some other fans I was able to forgive the reduced articulation. I could I could ignore the over sized missile launcher. But you had to find a way to piss even me off, didn't you? The molded on hand gun is a REAL deal breaker on an otherwise fine toy for me. But I imagine the hands can be replaced. Right? |

I could hardly stomach listening to how annoying and how unarticulate the reviewer is. But, all in all, I really despise the reduction in articulation. It's a deal breaker for me.

Wow. Single-jointed knees kill it. I was proper hoping to get one and then maybe the Ninja Dojo version to swap hands and give him the black body armour, but the single knees and zero ankles absolutely kill it for me. I dunno. I feel disheartened.

Finally bought this fig about a month ago when TRU had Retaliation figs on sale for $7. Man did I get ripped off, what a letdown figure.

This figure is NOT roadblock.
I got it, fixed the hands with resolute 2pk Destro hands . Then, popped of the rock head and put sgt. Slaughters head and hands on instead. Perfect. I put the rocks head on benchpress first, now its on red dog. That works. Regarding the lack of articulation ...... Do you remember the ARAH legs I know, that was 30+ years ago. But , i think it works. These were geard for the kids who would become fans from seeing the movie. Not for the adult collectors. But Thats all we got, for now. We have seen the next "rockblock" and he has all the articulation we expect. But, for a awesome sgt. Slaughter body, who is just gonna stand and point at you (thats what mine does). The lack of movement changes nothing. And looks better than the beer gut guy in army pajamas, that was the sdcc offering. Last edited by Indiana Joe; 08-19-2012 at 02:28 PM.. |
