The other props are a handgun and a holster pre-attached on his right thigh. I am afraid of breaking his fingers while trying to have him properly carry the Gatling gun. The problem with the Gatling gun is that much like the original Roadblock, his hands are too stiff and too tight to properly hold the Gatling gun. The one difference with Breaker’s Gatling gun is the stock that loads the Gatling gun. They can be exchanged, if you prefer having Roadblock’s khaki green Gatling gun with the motorcycle and giving the grey one to gunner. The Gatling gun, by the way, is the same one used with Breaker and his RAM cycle. The helmet does not protect his ears enough, which is necessary with the Gatling gun he uses. It’s a nice helmet but it will not fit the heads of other figures such as Duke, being a bit too large. The main props Roadblock that came with are a Gatling gun and a helmet. But the head, on a ball joint, can look up and down easily while rocking on all sides. His neck is a separate piece that is slightly more mobile than that of the previous Roadblocks. His butterfly joints are not very useful, being so limited. He has bicep curls, swivels at the shoulders that can also extend to about 90 degrees. Roadblock has the typical joint articulations with double elbows that have a good range and double knees that are too tight to move easily. He would need a up or down to help him carry his Gatling gun which is huge and can only be grabbed at specific spots. Something that makes Roadblock’s handling of his Gatling gun more complicated are his two in and out palm articulations. While he can pivot at the waist, it is limited by his harness and straps that are attached at the waist. It feels like they are always extended even if they are not. I don’t like the gap in the drop-down hips. Joe Classified action figures, Roadblock does not wiggle much and has a tight diaphragm articulation. The action figure is not a completely new design and new sculpt but it takes the best from the old Roadblock moulds and in a much-improved design. Joe team got the message and delivered the character that collectors wanted. Thus, Hasbro released the Heavy Artillery Roadblock, the fourth in the line as an Amazon exclusive that was supposed ton address criticism from the collecting community. That he did not look like the Roadblock of old. Each of these toys has been peg warmers and continue to be available in many stores, unlike the other characters released at the same time.Ĭollectors complained that this was not the figure that they wanted. And then again, a few months later, Hasbro released a redeco of the first Roadblock with muted and darker colours. Months later, Hasbro introduced another exclusive Roadblock action figure which was exclusive to Target stores in the United States, and Toys R Us in Canada. The first was a head scratcher as he looked like the 1986 Roadblock action figure but with bright colours and a weird weapon. This is the fourth attempt at a Roadblock action figure in the Classified line, as previous ones were not well received by collectors. He was the heavy machinery gunner of the Joe team but is now its heavy artillery soldier. Joe character, often represented as one of the core members of the team when the line up is limited.
