Well, if I’m making a wishlist to improve this figure to make an ultimate modern ARAH RB then I’d start with a non-Classified head, his black webgear, green heavy machine gun (like the card art and the ARAH figure), ARAH camo shirt, black boots (they look gray in the pics - but I could be wrong) and articulated ankles.

However he said it, the colors are still off. The camo on the Retro Roadblock are a bit brighter than the OG Roadblock.

Yes. I'll add a TF RB head with no lipstick, Rockblock thighs and knees with Gung-Ho's lowers to get double knee articulation and ankle articulation, and a 25th Breaker helmet like the vintage came with.

Good to know I’ll try tomorrow. Didn’t order them, but I wouldn’t mind picking them up if I find them.

Ah, sorry I didn't as I was really only interested in SE for nostalgia reasons. That said I went back to store later and the price for Scarlett was like double of the other figures. I could also buy the whole set of 3 for like $60 USD...

Here's a side by side comparison...

Hmmm...perhaps the Retro Destro IS a slightly better repaint...

Are the knees better?

No. Knees are still rubbery. But his legs are straighter than the 50th version.

I like the Retro Destro better.

That Roadblock sucks though. I don't see any part of that figure that is salvageable. I thought maybe you could use the torso, different head, different legs to make a good Roadblock... but that tank top is ridiculously bright.

What is the point of putting these guys on vintage cards and calling them Retro? They aren't even trying to give the figures retro deco
