Two versions of Roadblock have been spotted - one with black grenades on his chest (pictured loose above) and one with silver grenades on his chest (pictured carded above).
Body Construction
Roadblock was created using the same mold as Roadblock (v6) (1993), which included the body mold from General Hawk (1991) and General Hawk (v3) (1993), and the head from Roadblock (v4) (1992) and Roadblock (v5) (1993).
Versions of Roadblock
Note that Roadblock (v8) has a file name of "Charles L. Griffith," making that figure a version of "Double Blast" (2001). However, the conventional wisdom is that this was simply an error on Hasbro's part, and that the figure is supposed to be the "Marvin F. Hinton" Roadblock of the other versions.
