Released in August 2021 as an Amazon exclusive, this is the version of Roadblock that most fans have been waiting for since the Classified series began. This figure features an all-new and very impressive head sculpt that perfectly captures the giant machine gunner chef's likeness. The figure itself is extremely good, but the gear and accessories are somewhat lacking and not what most fans want with this specific version of Roadblock to come packed with.
Roadblock comes with the following weapons and accessories: a large machine gun with a removable ammo barrel, a pistol and a removable artillery helmet. Using the poll options, rate the figure on a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being a total miss and a 10 being plastic perfection, based on what you feel the figure deserves. Ratings should take overall design, sculpt, paint apps and paint deco, accessories and articulation into consideration. Thanks for voting and Yooo Joe!!!

If he had come packed with a little more gear like a backpack and maybe a better machine gun and tripod accessory (ahem, COUGH! COUGH! Grid-Iron loadout is a must! COUGH COUGH! ahem) he would easily get a 10 from me. So the value of the figure is sort of lost even if you do get the loadout gear since you have to spend $30 to properly load him up right which means he gets a solid 9 from me instead of a perfect 10.
May have preferred him to be just a smidge smaller, but I can live with Roadblock being one of the bigger Classified figures since he is supposed to be a really big dude.

I give him a 9 for the same reasons as Darth Brett. He's still the best Roadblock figure I've ever owned.

I was really close to giving him a 9. But, as great as he is - he's still not 100% my ideal Roadblock. In my world, Roadblock would be even bigger. Broader, squarer shoulders, huge thick neck. That's not taking anything away from this Roadblock... he's outstanding. It's amazing what a great headsculpt can do on the same body.
I kind of dislike the boots too. Overall though, I'm nitpicking. |

I would also go with a 9. It took them the 4th try to get RB right. He would be a 10 if he came with a 50 cal, tripod, ammo belt and backpack, as well as the helmet. I don't understand why every figure doesn't come with a backpack anyway. These are soldiers who go on missions around the world and need to carry supplies.

I absolutely love this figure. Head to toe he is nearly perfect! Love the helmet and side arm too. My only gripe is the heavy mini-gun he comes with. It is a decent weapon, but it is not his classic .50 caliber Browning. I gave him a 9 over all, if he had his Browning he would have received a 10!

HA Roadblock, IMO, is a perfect 10. He's everything we wanted in the first couple releases that Hasbro didn't give us. I don't even mind the minigun, because it fits with that updated, Classified premise.
I think we'll get the .50 with a retro release, so it's not that big a deal.
