Like the other Joe reduxes I've done this year, Roadblock is one of the figures that I never owned. The only other releases of him in the 25th line gave him a pea sized head, and a horrible...horrible body sculpt.
Unlike some of my other figures, I didn't do a lot to actually make a new figure. I took a figure that I thought really hit the character well...and tweaked it.
The entire figure is the Resolute Roadblock, with hands from the ROC Night Adder (a figure that used the entire same body and vest, but a different head), with some paint, an a modded vest. I added a big ol knife for Mr. Block and gave him a slightly modded Marauder SAW. I wanted to use something different for him because I had already used a modded SAW with my Gung Ho custom....but in the end, I went for simplicity.
Oh....here's some pictures...
