I did not. Not courageous enough to try that with my Mezco figure. Heating him a bit with a blow-dryer, without removing any clothing seemed to help

A punk with toys also has a review up:
Not really a fan of his reviews but hey, it's another look at Roadblock |

Destro and Roadblock are the only two I have, so far, but neither required any heat. Joints move like butter right out of the box... heads and hands pop on and off with hardly any pressure, but are still sturdy enough that they won't just fall off on their own... the plastic is really good quality and bends easily, but without stress marks... just all around fantastic figures.

I have the first release Conan and Destro so far, didn't require any heat either. Like DLM said, joints move smooth as shit from a duck's ass.
I will say this though: my Destro's right hip joint is a bit loose. Not to the point where it will cause an issue for getting him in the poses that I want. But he wouldn't be able to keep a kick pose, for example. And I see absolutely no way how you would be able to tighten up Mezco joints (that are under the soft goods). But yeah, heads and hands pop off very nicely. For the heads it's because there's some type of rubber inlay that just makes exchanging heads a much smoother experience. And for the hands, it's because they're made of a more flexible material which also makes it very pleasant to put guns in there. Mezco make VERY expensive figures but you do get what you pay for. |

I just got Roadblock and am very pleased with him. Even better than Destro I think. And yes you can tell they put a lot of extra time into the QC on these especially with the joint tolerances.

He managed to do a much shorter video. With future Mezco figures, I'm not going to do the unboxing live. That just takes too long as there is soooooo much stuff with the Mezco figures.
