Figures Retro Roadblock Upgrade

Hard-er Master · 11-27-2022, 02:29 AM

Lucked out and got a Retro Roadblock on the cheap recently. The new headsculpt and torso were pretty cool, but those Retaliation RB legs had to go. The hands too. Seemed simple enough, but turned into a whole thing.

Available on ebay for 7 days: 175506885301

Enjoy!

Thanks! The webgear is from Retro Stalker; had to stretch it a bit to fit. The legs are from 3 figures; Shadow Tracker, Heavy Duty & Crossbones. That was the challenging part of the project.

I heated it up with a hair dryer, then I used a screwdriver under the shoulder pads to pull it out a bit, and then immediately ran it under some cold water. It worked pretty well.

But I also had to sand down his traps a bit because they are huge LOL

Hope this helps!
