With the early classified, I loved how they captured the essence of each character while giving us something a little more original and appropriate for the 2020?s.
I didn?t hate Roadblock, but something was a little off with him. I?m not in love with the gold, but the redeco is a bit too plain for my taste, especially when compared to the other early classifieds. So I detailed him a bit (like the red in his knee pad) and gave him the gear from HA RB (the sidearm is hidden behind the minigun.) but my question here is, which head looks better? I know beards are in, but the sculpt of the bearded RB face is so soft. Mustaches are making a comeback, too (just ask Stalker?) So? which head?

I'm going to have to say camera #2 Much more of a show accurate Roadblock and I'm a sucker for show accuracy with just a pinch of original toy accuracy.

Second head for sure. That looks like Roadblock to me.

Yeah definitely the second head from the Amazon Heavy Artillery RB. That figure is great.

Why not just use HA RB?

Probaby bitterness or resentment? I liked how the earlier classified figures are more modern adaptations and not ARAH figures just scaled up. HA RB pretty much set the groundwork for changing that idea?

I like #1 better with that version of the figure, since I always thought of the '86 figure that it resembles to be a more mature version of the '84 depiction of the character and the beard picks up that difference nicely. Head #2 is very cartoony, but might be a better recreation of the way the character was usually depicted.

Honestly, even if they?d just given him the lion tattoo on his arm, I?d probably have used the HA Roadblock and been happy with it?
