I never expected to get the Retro Roadblock but I realized I really don't mind the lack of ankle articulation that much and I wanted something that looked better than the original 25th Roadblock.
Also, I had to have the vintage style backpack cause my favorite feature of the original Roadblock was the tripod fitting on his backpack. The 25th one, I use as Double Blast which was a Roadblock repaint in 2001. It's amazing the size difference from 25th to now.

The extra touches to accessorize the Retro collection Roadblock worked out great! Love modding the original backpack to fit him. Really cool touch.
Love the side by side with your Double Blast as well. We came a long way since 25th but those original parts still have a lot of charm to them. Always cool to see some prominently shown.

I never realized how much the scale had creeped up.
Nice tweaks on the figure's gear. Looks good. |

Thanks. Yeah, the later modern figures are much bigger and bulkier than the first ones.

Yeah RB has been pumping iron (has to because that 50 Cal is pretty heavy), yeah that addition to the back pack allowing to carry the tripod really completes it, nice touch Nighthawk

With the old 25A figures you could almost will them to work with ARAH figures, especially figures that weren't big enough in ARAH format. Roadblock is a perfect example.
These new Retro figures are too huge to mix formats for display? But you've done a great job with the upgrades! |
