This is another loser in the headsculpt category. While it is far closer than Scarlett to the Duke/Destro standard of realism (I have no problem one way or the other, but pick a theme and apply with consistency), it has absolutely zero personality. For the fighting pride of Biloxi, MS that is an absolute sin. I think I’ve maybe seen like three images of Roadblock where he isn’t screaming or gritting his teeth (an exaggeration for those intent on reading every word with painfully literal meaning). It seems most of these sculpts are aiming for a neutral expression, but arch an eyebrow for Chrissakes! This is Roadblock!

He's got personality: that's absolutely a "walked in on parents having sex" look on his face. That's not an appropriate expression, but it still counts as one!
IMO, RB is the weakest of the wave (being so much glossier than the others doesn't help). Surprised at all the Scarlett hate, though, especially on grounds of realism, because she looks exactly like an old friend of mine and her sisters, so much so that it looks like it's supposed to be her. And that hair color isn't perfect but it's a lot closer to a natural redhead than the literal red of previous figs. |

Good review & good points. However, I will be even stronger in my adulation of this figure in that I think this Scarlett is amazing - and, I don't think one thing should be changed. Amazing sculpt & colors. Essentially, I find this Scarlett to be the perfect combination of vintage/retro/modern.

I personally liked Duke’s headsculpt, but to each his own

Nicely sculpted figure, I like the bullet or laser marks in the boot armor. For me he's in the four position. Hawk's the leader screw the cartoon.

Few paint QC issues on mine, but really liking it overall. I’ve never really been able to point to a single incarnation and confidently say “that’s Duke!” so I don’t have passionate feelings one way or the other about his presentation. Love the classic outfit, happy the futuretech elements are fairly minimal. Looking forward to see how they do Flint.
