Aloha Michigan!

Picked up Retalliation Roadblock and Storm Shadow from the Northville Meijer tonight. I left 1 of each of those along with Cobra Commander, Zartan, and Snake Eyes.

OK honestly the storm shadow is pretty good. No real complaints. Roadblock you're going to find what you've heard about - the stupid right hand is just idiotic and unnecessary. I wasn't born with a brick in my hand and Roadbrock shouldn't have it either. Just a horrible execution in that regard. So here's my suggestion to you... Pick up an old school Captain America while you're at it. You probably want to use that blondie head for someone else anyways, might as well use the hands for something. They work fairly well. The ankle articulation loss hasn't bugged me yet but I'm sure some day I'll be looking to swap out at the knee.

Look - articulation isn't everything. I accept that. But it is worth something and losing ankles + 1 hand is just not a real strong statement for me.

Cobra Commander - IMO way too bright on the blue. I know that's a stupid comment because any blue is going to make the guy target practice, but just not impressed at all. the Zartan strikes me as interesting but I tend to steer towards some semblance of reality so I can't go for it and the Snake eyes... my feeling is we have top notch snake eyes already. I'm not buying figures just to buy figures. I want them to be useful and this one just brings nothing new to the party.

Get Roadbrock though - I'm calling him Kiwi - a New Zealand former rugby player/SAS in my verse'...

If you're really creative you can paint the hell out of this to create a big lob as well. He's that tall and if you replaced the lower leg with a luke cage or something like that you'd have him even taller. Perfect for a Big Lob custom IMO.

Looks like Michigan has joined the short list of states where retaliation figures can be found.

I think it has only been IN, OH, and KY so far.

Just for curiosity sake, did you leave the Cobra Trooper, Joe Tropper, and Red Ninja? Or did someone beat you to them?

Anyway, good luck to all and let the hunt begin.......

Interesting, thanks for the update, I will be on the lookout........

Looks like a glimpse of things to come for the Retaliation line up here, my Walmart has redone their toy section and there is now 8 waiting pegs that all say G.I.Joe $6.97 and then room on the shelves for vehicles!

Too bad some of the Retaliation figures look underwhelming :(
