I don't agree... granted his code-name MAY be a fond memory, but they did intro Steeler and Stalker (and of course Breaker)
I don't see why they can't do a new Craig S. McDonnel, just with a new code-name, but the same basic look. While the ARAH V2 is cool, I would prefer a more Image/DDP-Resolute look for him. So, as I said. We may see Benchpress, but we won't see Rock n' Roll. The problem with that is if you take away the musician aspect of his character, and the fact that he likes metal, and give it to another machine gunner, already in the series...does he really need to appear at all? So while Flint's team may get a machine gunner, and he may be Benchpress, and he may even be McConnell. He won't be Rock n' Roll in the literal sense. In the end, if you say that Benchpress is good enough, then you already have your update, and don't need a figure. If you think he's not, and you want a "real" Rock n' Roll figure, you're probably sh*t out of luck. While Rock n' Roll is my favorite Joe, and I'll love to see him make a full blown return, I can deal with Benchpress. He'll suck on the small screen compared to a real full blown character based off Rock n' Roll, but in my collection, he'd be Rock n' Roll. Just with a shave. :/

Well that's exactly who Benchpress is. He's the RoC version. They kept the name, and the fact that he lifts and surfs, but dropped the musician part of his character. The "Rock n' Roll".

That's understandable. I read the first few filecards on the figures my son got, and then rarely took a look after that. They were bad. So disappointing compared to the early days.
