The latest new GI Joe Classified Series mainline figure is yet another Roadblock, this one officially titled Heavy Artillery Roadblock. Before you roll your eyes take a look at this guy. It’s virtually “A Real American Hero” version 1 Roadblock plucked out of the Sunbow cartoon series and original Hasbro GI Joe action figure from the 1980’s.
Heavy Artillery Roadblock is an Amazon and Pulse Premium Member exclusive, and you can pre-order Roadblock at Amazon right now with a July 1st, 2021 release date.
Roadblock comes with a newly sculpted head, torso, and massive gatling gun with removable ammo cartridge.
It’s the paint scheme, complete with brown pants and camo undershirt, that makes this Roadblock figure a spitting image of his old version 1 self. Could there be more “retro” redos in the GI Joe Classified line? Perhaps.
Here’s Hasbro’s official description:
“The G.I. JOE Classified Series Heavy Artillery Roadblock Action Figure features a classic design updated to bring the G.I. JOE heavy artilleryman into the modern era. The figure comes ready for action, with multiple points of articulation making it highly poseable and accessories inspired by the character’s rich history. The G.I. JOE Classified Series Heavy Artillery Roadblock Action Figure collectible package will also make a mark on shelves, featuring display-worthy custom artwork from Mike Thompson.”
