Looking at design first, Roadblock looks pretty good, though not perfect. This is a Roadblock who feels like a Roadblock and in a group shot he’s clearly the focal point. There’s something about the size and weight of this figure that’s a ton of fun, and feels different somehow than previous iterations of the character.
GI JOE ROADBLOCK VEST FULL
Standing a full head taller and with huge arms and legs, Roadblock immediately separates himself from the crowd as the guy carrying the heavy weapon (more talk about that particular weapon later). Now, at least for the moment, with each figure in this first assortment being uniquely sculpted and tooled, you end up with some really great variation, and at the top of that scale is Roadblock. While the modern era did work to change that somewhat, the formula of re-using parts for different characters often meant that heights and figure sizes weren’t always represented 100% accurately (Leatherneck I’m looking at you). Joe figures were built off of a common “buck” meaning every figure was constructed to be relatively the same height and size, with only slight variations here and there.
Joe: Classified figures is that they are extremely varied in size and shape, which is awesome.
The first thing you notice as you purchased and rip open your G.I. He is a huge, imposing figure at the 6″ scale and while he’s not aesthetically perfect, he does bring some interesting things to the table. When you hear the name Roadblock, this guy is pretty much what you expect.
