It's a cartoon thing. He was an actor and did commercials for Fudgie Bars.

For me, it's about toning down the racial stereotype (yes, it's there - we've beaten this horse to death), and make him look more consistent with what Classified's done - all without stripping away Quick Kick. Gotta know who he is by looking at him. Again, wish they'd saved this 1:1 vintage ARAH look for the Retro line, and updated him a bit to be more practical.

I used my v1 Gung Ho vest and pants to turn CI Roadblock into Heavy Duty, so not an option for me. Thinking about picking up a movie SE though, just in case.

![]() The tattoo didn't work for me for Roadblock, and thankfully, the HA Roadblock didn't have one, so between the tat and different headsulpt there, these look like two different people. I figure this'll work until we get an official Heavy Duty, and then I'll break him down or just use him as another random heavy gunner.

I would assume the boot cut will be exclusive to Quick Kick as there is new tooling involved there and doesn't look like it will match up size wise with older bodies. That's gonna look weird too much like Bazooka when you turn him how the print breaks up in the jersey but this time with the "Chinese wind pattern" Lenny deco'ed it with.

Thank you, and I wholeheartedly agree. Though it was consistent with Blackout, which is what they were going for initially. I'm glad for the course correction though, but I hope we get a little more consistency. A handful of Classified releases have arguably been too close to their original ARAH designs. The new Firefly is a perfect example. Seems kinda pointless if they're also doing Retros, unless there's no chance that they'll release those characters under that sub-line. Though sometimes, I have to admit it works, like the Crimson Guards, and sometimes it doesn't, like Quick Kick.
