Technically, isn't this Roadblock number 4? OG, Cobra Island, Repaint, This Guy?

I stick to 3 versions. Same number in set = variant. No one says there are 2 Beach Heads or 2 Cobra Trooper. It's just an effort to balloon the RB count to complain. Even though EVERYONE complained about the 2 RB releases not being this RB. Lmao it would be almost impressive if it wasn't so sad. "We want OG RB!" Ok here ya go. "Why are we getting another RB?!" Ummm what?

For real!! I thought I was the only one 😂😂

This is definitely my favorite roadblock! This is the one they’ve needed to make, I don’t have any joes at the moment but I’ll probably end up getting some whenever I can

If road block has laced up boots he would be perfect. Sucks he's a Amazon exclusive for me that is.

Awesome review, thanks! THIS is ROADBLOCK!!! I held off of the other ones because they just weren't Roadblock to me, regardless of the whole updating vibe. I do not need to buy or even think about any other version of him now; this is definitive! I've been furious with Hasbro over the excessive exclusives and availability issues as much as anyone. BUT...one thing I will give them...they're listening. They're making the figures look closer to their classic versions, and they're giving them realistic weapons and not the Sci-Fi Laser Hair Dryer things they'd been giving them. Awesome. Now if they'd just quit it with these exclusives!

I love the look of this Roadblock out of all of them!

A first-rate review of the coolest Road Block to date and his awesome accessories!

Great Roadblock. Best one yet.

This guy is the best version

Sweet! Now I have a reason to finally get the Cobra island Roadblock. He'll be my Heavy Duty now with the tattoo and beard.

@@fnl4eva269 I know I ordered it last month. I was saying now I have a reason to get the previously released Cobra Island Roadblock with the beard and tattoo and use him as Heavy Duty. I wasn't sure until this review if this Roadblock had the classic moustache and bare arms. Now I can see it does.

Man he's really tall, i love it. Wish hasbro lead with this one cause I was a definite late bloomer on this line but after wed./Thurs. I'm all caught up.

Oh mine are not in yet I need to check that my order did not get cancelled! Glad you got yours

YYYEEEESSSSS!!! I’m so excited to get this figure in!

Wish this version of Roadblock would have been made sooner but it is what it is. He looks great just wish he came with at least another accessory... Maybe a backpack. When he becomes a regular release in September I'll most likely purchase him. Great job on your unboxing and review video 👍

ok i'll pick this up. you convinced me!

My hope is they do more of this stuff but with other character's like duke and scarlet who are much needed for a revamp imo.

Can't wait til mine arrives!

Hell yea! Nice to see a review of this guy. Can't wait for mine to come in. Shared on the /r/gijoecs subreddit, threw you credit. Thanks!

Can't wait ta cop this one...hopefully

Yay after waiting so damn long my figure is finally being shipped. Comes in tomorrow.

I'm Definitely going to kit bash this as a Luke Cage / Power Man

This Roadblock with Breaker’s helmet and RAM bike 👌🏾

You were trying to put his pistol in too forward once you moved it back it fit perfectly

This is the Roadblock we wanted from the beginning

I was offline when he went up on Amazon, and was just looking at Amazon to see if he was back in stock. Will keep checking.

I pretty much decided that the Cobra Island Roadblock is gonna be Heavy Duty instead (at least until they release him 🤞), and I've been happy with the redeco of the first release. Really like this new Roadblock though, cannot wait until he arrives! Solid review as always, thanks! 👍

Any way we could see what that helmet looks like on Duke?

I want to swap the legs with gung ho, the green camo pants

Crazy how no KZread review of this figure did a head swap with the previous RB figures... would have been cool to see! Just saying

Man how do you get these guys so early ?

How the heck did you get that so early?

How do you get it? I'm guessing by saying lines with grammar like "we have gotten" you are not a offical reviewer.

Just point out, the majority of the line is not exclusive. I get that it can feel that way with the waves overall being so limited.

ole' painless

Damn. Thought I didn’t want him

Ok, somebody school me cuz I'm an outsider. I played with Joe's as a wee lad in the 80's. Hasbro really seems to be slow-rolling the release of figures. The waves seem too infrequent & too difficult to obtain. Since Classified's launch it seems that they would have released many more fan favorites to get the line to pick up steam. I'm really not sure whether this line is meeting expectations, but the first versions of the first wave or two seemed like missteps. Roadblock, Duke, & Scarlet seemed too different from their original incarnations for an old head like me to want them. I'm currently only cherry-picking ones that seem like a great upgrade to the original toys/cartoon.

The Classified line originally used character designs from a video game. The game received negative reviews and did not sell very well. Hasbro is moving away from the video game and they are going back to the 80's look of each character. This line has been extremely hard to find. A lot of figures have been exclusive to Target. From what I've seen only scalpers were allowed to order the Target exclusives.

Looks great other than that hideous head sculpt

Why did he remove that lion tattoo

Great review as always. I really enjoy your stuff. It's important to note that this figure does not use the same torso as previous iterations of RB. The chest/abs are totally new sculpts.

Where did you get him so early? Amazon already started shipping?

For Amazon exclusives, wouldn't you infringe that they ought to show up at the very top of every search? Like, even if you're just searching "action figure," the Amazon exclusives should hit very first. It's weird that they hide their exclusives.

How did you get this guy so early? Amazon is shipping early?

👍👍

The face sculpt is much better. No more chubby cheecks.

Its Gung ho's knees. Hasbro inconsistent not having his tattoo or the communication device which were part of the theme from Duke to Lady Jaye. Also that helmet strap dangling is not going to protect him and needed to be buckled and secured.

Shin guards on the JOEs and COBRA Command figures are analogus to tattoos on hot and sexy chicks meaning that at minimum the shin guards are just there and service no fucking purpose, (e.g. Flint and the COBRA Trooper,) or at worst they're distracting, ugly as fuck, and they fuck up the look of the figure, (e.g. version 1 of the Classified Series Roadblock and Duke,) I'm really interested in learning why the decision was made to include the shin guards with every figure.

I'm not even gonna ask man. I had my order in the first 2 minutes this guy was up and my release & ship date is September. Nice review and congrats on your connections.

Why not just put Road lock in uniforms and equipment from other members of the team? I don't want torpedo, I want Roadblock in Torpedo's gear. And forget about Alpine, Low Light or Stalker, just release Roadblock in all of these load-outs. It's what we want Hasbro, plain and simple.
