GIJoe Classified Series Roadblock and Destro

Here's a look at Roadblock and the first Cobra operative in the Classified Series, Destro.

Roadblock is a big and strong guy. If Cobra's not careful he'll make them cry. 

He's got a good size and bulk. Some even say he's like the Hulk.

The head sculpt looks good, his expression is more neutral than mean. With no hair up top his head is shaven clean.

The vest is a separate piece and not removable unfortunately. Else we can get a good look of his pecs in their full glory.

His look is reminiscent of a figure in the past. There's no inner shirt now, guess that style didn't last.   

There's nice detail on his vest, sculpt, paint and all. The muted green tone suits him, what do you think y'all?

His pants is textured which is nice. Then there are his boots, plated in the front in gold and red to be precise.  

Overall I think he looks good. I hope by typing in rhyme I wasn't misunderstood.

Okay that took a little too long to come up with. Won't be doing it anytime again soon. I think.

Some close-ups. Check out the tattoo of a lion on his left arm. I'm not sure when or where he got one. It's very well done. Do note that the small knife gets a little bent when placed in the sheath on his vest.

Accessories. He comes with a large energy weapon of sort. There's great sculpted detail on it. Great paint detail as well. He also comes with an battery pack for his weapon. At least I think it's a battery pack, or it could be a clip of ammo. It slots into the section near the handle. He also comes with a small knife which may be stored in the sheath on his vest. He is able to grip it. It just looks a little small in his hands.

Next up, Destro.

"It's GIJoe against Cobra and Destro..." When your name gets mentioned in the theme song it means you're someone to be reckoned. And Destro certainly is someone to be reckoned with. He's an arms dealer who usually fights alongside Cobra. He wears the mask to hide his identity as he sells weapons to all sides. 

His mask looks really good. It's ssssshiny. The shape is there and there's a little sculpted design on it. I'm happy Destro looks very much like how he did back then. Though it has some grey sections now it doesn't change his appearance too much. He still has the collar, necklace, the rockets on his right bracers. Yup it's pretty much the same. Both his top and pants is textured which is nice. His fancy boots has some nice sculpted detail on them. One thing I don't like is how big that pouch on his thigh is. It's quite distracting. A simple strap would have suffice.  

Click images to enlarge. You can see his eyes through the holes of the mask. Nice!

Accessories. He comes with a large blaster pistol, a gold handgun and a suitcase. 

The Cobra logo was sculpted on both sides of the suitcase. One side is painted while the other is not. 

The suitcase can be opened and inside is a control console. It has a screen and a keyboard. And on the upper side there's what appears to be stacks of money. They are not removable unfortunately. It would have been nice to get a loose stack or two. 

Articulation

Roadblock has a ball hinge upper neck, ball joint lower neck, ball hinge shoulders, butterfly joints, bicep swivel, double jointed elbows, swivel hinge wrists, ab crunch, ball joint waist, ball hips on up and down hinges, thigh swivel, double jointed knees and ankle hinge and pivot. He can look up and down well. The vest largely restricts him from using the ab and waist joints. He is able to turn at the waist.

Destro has a ball hinge upper neck, ball joint lower neck, ball hinge shoulders, butterfly joints, bicep swivel, double jointed elbows, swivel hinge wrists, ab crunch, ball joint waist, ball hips on up and down hinges, thigh swivel, double jointed knees and ankle hinge and pivot. It needs some fiddling to get him to look up due to the collar. He can look down okay. When positioning his right leg his belt will likely get raised.  

Comparison shots. Good to see he's bigger than the other Joes.

Great figures! Thanks for viewing!
