I love Resolute. I love Resolute Roadblock. Our friend Stydent, of Afro-Brazilian descent, also prefers Resolute RB over The Rock RB. (Not sure how he feels about Millennial Classified/Retro RB though).
That being said, the Resolute RB head has a certain “Sambo” aspect to it that I don’t think Hasbro wants to touch these days (it is in the IOS game though). Samsson, do you think the Resolute head is too much for current day? I don’t recall which RB you have used in your excellent series, The Initiative (go check it out everyone!).

I wonder if the fleshtone is about the same on TF Roadblock and the new Retro line Roadblock. If so I can see a lot of people switching the heads out.

It seems highly unlikely that the Club would have shelled out to own the tooling given that TF Roadblock came at the end and the Club would have had no reason to own it.
It’s possible, from Hasbro’s perspective, that they’re giving us something new, with the thinking that many of us already have that TF Roadblock and this is a way to encourage us to get this figure, as well. I’d also guess there’s a strong possibility that any tooling owned by the Club may have been acquired by Hasbro, possibly for pennies on the dollar, as without a contract, it would be unusable to the Club any way.

They're already out in Canada. So who knows, stateside. Soon?

What about Allor's Roadblock in the new comic?

He is not very Sambo AFAICT. Never read that book though.

The RB head used by the Club was actually tooled by Hasbro (there’s some proto shots out there somewhere) and I think the Resolute head works, so I think the decision to make the new head like Classified was deliberate, though not sure why since they didn’t do likewise with Scarlett.

From a profit margin perspective, wave one makes great sense -no new molds and figures are all black or all white pretty much, so they require almost no paint apps except the faces on two of the figures. Make a mint on the first wave to even out future losses. Whatever other choices a design team might have made, business gets the last word. It’s about risk management during a difficult time in the economy.
