Body Construction:

Roadblock's body mold is entirely original and not made up from previous molds.

The entire body mold was re-used to create Roadblock (v3/Tiger Force) (1988), Double Blast (2001), Roadblock (v8) (2002), and Roadblock (v12/Night Force) (2004).

Roadblock's legs were later used for Starduster (1987) and the legs and waist were used to create Leatherneck (v4) (2001). The forearms were later used to create Flint (v9/Night Force) (2004) and Flint (v10) (2005).

Note that the figure's head only turns left and right - it does not allow the head to look up and down. The heads only turned left and right until the the swivel ball head that was introduced in 1985 (Series Four).
