I'm not the first to make a Gung Ho out of the Ret. Roadblock, won't be the last... (hopefully the Best?) ;)
He's all Ret. Roadblock wv. 1 & 3. Enjoy! eBay #:171205421218 Thanks for looking! HM.

A great custom, but it doesn't look like Gung ho, maybe with a mustache it would fit better...

Sweet custom. The hat (L Skywalker's) is very nice and fits perfect in that RB head. Nice work.

Agree here, great use of parts but could be any random Military guy. Needs tat and 'stache to really pull off Gung-Ho. Very nice pics though, and bad-ass looking trooper no doubt!

Very cool. But I haven't seen anyone use this fig for Gung-Ho before....so it's the best use of Roadblock for Gung-Ho for sure. Looks real cool though.

Thanks for the feedback guys!
I liked the POC line b/c it had very non-traditional interpretations of classic characters (Firefly and Hawk come to mind). That said, I wanted to basically redesign Gung-Ho, whose original costume I find a bit silly. I kept his size, MARINES logo, and Grenade launcher in the design, but I wanted them to be a bit more modern and functional. I only ditched the mustache because I felt that it would clash with the face paint. It's interesting that some think he'd make a better Roadblock, whose Retaliation design looks absolutely nothing like the original character. ;) Thanks again for the comments, HM.

Your arguement about the mustache is logical, but you could've made a brown mustache, and darkened the coamo. Yes, his original costume was silly, and would defiantly get him killed in the line of duty. Maybe, since poc did trail off, Maybe a brown beard with some white aging. That would be even better. Besides that, you did a great job!
And is that a Rock N' Roll next to him? HM.

I agree with the different head use. But I REALLY love the marines logo on the front of his vest and the G and H on the back of his vest.
