Yeah, they know kids love ninjas, and while the movie isn't all about ninjas, they clearly want the toys to be. And Roadblock saying he trained with Snake Eyes was enough for someone at Hasbro to think it would be great to make Roadblock officially a ninja and give him the tattoo.
Kids love Snake Eyes, see his Arashikage tat, they buy him. They see it on Roadblock, they want him too. I'm guessing is the thinking. |

The roadblock saying he trained with him for 6 years was a throw away line and it didn't say he trained with his clan.

I prefer to think Roadblock and Snake Eyes were in the same unit in the Army or Joe team years back. I think the way the movie presented it...maybe Chu and co didn't like the idea of Roadblock being a ninja either and didn't really want to go further than saying they trained together for 6 years? |

Yes. I know that. What I'm saying is, I bet someone at Hasbro heard that line and got the idea to make him a full on ninja for the toy. Not that that's what it was in the movie, just that they did it for the toy based on that line.

My only complaint besides all the pissing, crying, complaining and general negativity is that some of the stickers on my Ghost Hawk were cut wrong.
