As mentioned, the sculpting is fantastic, the overall size is spot-on, and he has a ton of redeeming qualities. 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.
ROADBLOCK GI JOE 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.
ROADBLOCK GI JOE MOVIE
GI Joe can be a hell of of a movie if they do things right.When you hear the name Roadblock, this guy is pretty much what you expect. I know I will! Can’t miss that!īut I’m much more thrilled by GI Joe 2! The origins of Cobra are maybe interesting but what I want, and I guess GI Joe fans too, is to see a full-fledged Cobra Army with its mighty Machiavellian commander at its head. The yet-to-be-released GI Joe is suffering from some bad buzz online, can understand this by looking at the poor CGI of the exoskeletons… But I guess it won’t hinder GI Joe from being a blockbuster: lot of action, plenty of special effects, and the whole thing based on a famous franchise, you bet people are going to watch it in theaters. He’s working for James McCullen who’s a the head of the powerful company MARS.īut at the end the Doctor becomes the Cobra Commander we know, an evil genius all powerful and damn Machiavellian, and James McCullen can but step down to become Cobra’s minion under the name of Destro (Cobra gifts him with a mask made of nanocytes).Ĭobra Commander and his minion Destro – GI JOE 2 From the tidbits that leaked online we know indeed that the upcoming GI Joe Rise of Cobra movie is a kind of Origins story for Cobra Commander.Īt the beginning of the GI Joe movie Cobra Commander (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) is actually called the Doctor. I guess it’s good news because the first movie is actually setting things for something much better ahead. Director Stephen Sommers composedly announced that there will be a movie sequel to GI joe during a conference in Australia.
