I like to call this my Ret Roadblock Put Some Lipstick on this Pig Project, lol. I got the first Ret 3 pack with Roadblock, Beachhead and Kamakura and thought the RB was severly lacking. Nice torso, arms and head, but the limited articulation wrists, knees and ankles is a waste. Also, my figure's head was lose and wobbly. I've been modernizing characters lately, so I decided to see if I could make this figure presentable. I think it worked out nicely. The limited articulation still sucks, but he'll look just fine sitting on display. Let me know what you think.

beautiful! i really would love it if Hasbro would do this sort of thing in the movie lines. It seems like a no brainer.

Thanks for the comments. I appreciate them.
I ended up mixing Tamiya Acrylic Flat Brown with Polly Scale Acrylic Flesh. Probably about a 75/25 ratio of brown to flesh, but just mix until you think it looks good. That's all I did. |

This is a cool custom. The one we got is so far off from RB that I don't even use him for RB but a different character altogether.

Sick! This is just sick! I love this combo of the Rock with the traditional Roadblock.

I was just thinking, this is what Roadblock would have looked like in Retaliation if The Rock had gotten the skin pigmentation surgery that Robert Downey Jr's character had in Tropic Thunder.
