Joe Classified Series evolves the characters fans know and love into a highly articulated 6-inch scale with premium deco and detailing EXPLODES INTO A LARGER-THAN-LIFE ERA WITH 6-INCH SCALE FIGURES: The G.I. Joe and all related characters are trademarks of Hasbro. Joe Classified Series Roadblock package will make a mark on shelves. And with custom artwork by Mike Thompson, the G.I. This Roadblock figure comes ready for action, with multiple points of articulation for high poseability and character-inspired accessories, including a heavy artillery blaster. From hostile jungles to ice-clad arctic peaks…wherever there’s trouble, G.I. Joe are prepared to seek out Cobra in any environment on the planet. With unwavering courage and steely determination, the brave members of G.I. These extraordinarily talented heroes are selected for their elite abilities and tasked with defending the world from Cobra, a ruthless criminal organization bent on total domination. Joe is a highly skilled, on-demand, special operations force of men and women from around the globe. The Cobra Island Roadblock action figure is part of an invading force, along with Beachhead who storm the infamous Cobra territory facing off against Cobra Troopers, the Baroness, Cobra Vipers, and Cobra saboteur, Firefly.G.I. Both are heavy machine gunners, but Roadblock used more standard weapons than the futuristic one used by Heavy Duty. Whereas Roadblock is a gourmet cook, Heavy Duty is a trained classical musician. Since, in many continuities, because of their strong resemblance, Roadblock and Heavy Duty have been made cousins, often on opposite ends of conflicts (while both being members of G.I. When Hasbro seemingly lost the trademark to Roadblock in the early 2000s, the name Heavy Duty was used as a replacement. In some branding fluke, in 1991, a new action figure featuring a tough as nail gigantic black dude came up as a new action figure. Some people have begun using the Cobra Island Roadblock as a stand in for his famous cousin, Heavy Duty who is also a heavy machine gunner for G.I.

Joe Classified purchased, I managed to do in the same period. I barely obtained Roadblock and am still surprised that Toys R Us did not cancel my order as they have with all other G.I. Getting Cobra Island exclusives in Canada has been very difficult. It is also a variant based on the least popular character of the line, or the titular peg warmer. However, it is a second wave variant to the first wave that had just appeared.


The easiest of them all to find is the one Roadblock action figure. Joe Classified 1:12 action figure line from Hasbro has been a nightmare for many collectors who could not find them at stores. I reviewed the first wave Roadblock back in July so I will forgo my usual historical survey of the character and focus instead on a few issues. Joe team’s heavy gunner comes back for a second exclusive action figure sold at Toys R Us in Canada and Target in the United States.
