I created this custom of Rock n' Roll (v2) using the head of Ssgt. Rock n Roll (v2) from the 25th anniversary comic packs; torso, arms and vest of Flint (v21) from the Retaliation line; the hat and legs of Repeater (v3) from the Toys R Us exclusive Troop Builder 5 Pack; and the ankle holster/gun from Skydive (v2). And, of course, I grabbed the gatling guns and backpack from the original figure. I always loved these weapons and wanted to see them on a modern version of the figure.

Welcome to the tank man!
This is a really cool version of RnR, I really dig the devil twins and the way you made him look in armor. Keep Rocking |

Looks good. I'm still trying to decide what body to use to make mine.

Great custom, man! I was always bummed that Hasbro never got around to making this version of Rock 'n Roll in the modern style. I really love your formula...the body part choices are absolutely perfect, but I'm not 100% sure about that head...the 25th noggins are a tad on the small side these days. There's gotta be another bearded head floating around that would work better. Perhaps Retaliation Clutch's head with the hair painted blonde?
As an aside, RnR has to be the strongest Joe ever to be able to lug those babies around. I mean, seriously, holy shit.

Thanks for the replies. I'm terrible at painting, so assembling my custom from parts that already had a comparable look and fit was challenging. Didn't think about the head being too small until I got to work on it. At first I was going to use the most recent Roadblock/Leatherneck body, but it was WAY too huge for the little R&R head. This route worked well for me and I am having fun sharing it with other fans.

I like the Thor head for r&r,retaliation clutch is good too I reckon. I do agree that that 25th head looks awful tho.
