If the other Roadblock figures are aby indication, this one will be available forever and ever.

At this point, the only issue that matters to me comes in two parts: a.) a charge on my credit card, and b.) the most glorious two words in all this modern era of shopping: item shipped!

I honestly doubt he'll warm the virtual pegs though, and just by the simple fact that this is Roadblock. This is his most iconic and therefore definitive look, and as such, a major tick of the character bucket list (and one less character to stress about finding, lol).

Actually, now that 4 RBs have made, I think it's a safe bet that they're going to make another more classic looking Scarlet soon too, with a different face sculpt, and perhaps even a Gung-Ho repaint too.

They most likely will revisit Scarlett and Duke. Gung-Ho I'm not so sure about.



I really wish Hasbro would redo Gung-Ho with the light blue vest. They haven't done the cartoon look since the 25th anniversary line started, and for some reason they seem to hate that look and stick with the green vest instead.

Huh? Hasbro redid Gung-Ho with the light blue vest for the 50th anniversary 2 pack.

Cool, too bad it was part of the oh so limited 50th line. Did it ever show up in Canada?

Either way I still want this version released in the regular line.

No, that was the sad part... those 2 packs never made it here but you could obviously ask a friend in the US if you know someone, to grab them for you.

Me, I had to pay $50 to get that Gung-Ho off ebay but he's the definitive version of the character so I was willing to do it.
