Is it me or is the Rock's likeness just SLIGHTLY off? I mean, just slightly. Like, his face is a tad more gaunt/angular than it is IRL? And I only say this based on how insanely spot-on Hot Toys' sculpts usually are...my gf recently ordered the Hot Toys Loki and the thing looks like a mini-Tom Hiddleston. It's actually kinda disturbing how exact they got his head sculpt.
Even as is, the Roadblock head sculpt sculpt is better than 99.9999% of everything else on the market, so I'm probably just nit-picking.

It is slightly off. Maybe once in hand it will look even better which seems to always be the case with hot toys.

I'm glad that the Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow Sideshow figures will have company.
I also see something off about the figure's head sculpt, basically the proportions. However, I've also seen how much photography can distort the appearance of figures, especially 1/6 scale sculpts. Even if the head sculpt is not perfect, it has a good degree of likeness. It's interesting that the exposed elbow joints shows a design direction that has similarity to smaller scaled toys, mainly in the way that the hinge of the joint is not disguised or hidden and how there is an elbow pad like component that appears to move to allow the joint a greater range of movement. The only criticism I have of the product is the uniform. As often the case with 1/6 scale figures, especially military themed figures, the uniform looks at least two sizes too big. Hopefully this issue will be corrected with the final production figure. |

The Hot Toys figures usually use generic bodies, so while having his tats would be cool, I doubt it.
Also, the Loki pics looked spot-on to the actor's likeness...perhaps this one is early, or Hot Toys just slightly missed the mark in this case.

I think his eyes are the wrong color - the Rock has very dark eyes.

I agree w/everyone saying there is something off about his head. Notice I didn't say face, as I can still discern Dwayne in there pretty well if I squint. It's his smallish and more 'bullet-shaped' bald pate that seems different to Dwayne's real life noggin. Oh well, still another great Hot Toys product!

I've held off on the other Retaliation figures, but this one may look awesome with the rest of my Sideshow Joes.
