Lookin' good. No critiques for Roadblock. With Gung-Ho however, I think the barrage arms are a tad big, but I like them (wouldn't change them). And with the vest on it's hardly noticeable.

Roadblock is awesome. I love the way he turned out.

I'm with JFAK on Gung Ho. The shoulders seem huge on that torso. Maybe just a ROC/POC bulkier vest would disguise it better.

Pluv's got a very solid idea on the vest for GH. He doesn't look bad with no vest now (in fact, from certain angles I bet he looks great) but a slightly bulkier vest would dispel any doubts.

Roadblock is just flat out great.

I agree with all the others comments. Those barrage arms are just too large in the shoulder.

That said they fit great and with a bulkier vest the figure would be fantastic. Is the tattoo a waterslide?

RB- yup, fantastic. Love it

The only critique i would make is Id rather see another Minigun. I know theyre a pure fantasy elemant anyway, as they so far dont work as handheld weapons, but to carry one one- handed is just a bit too over the top for me. Even putting on some sort of handle so it can be wielded two- handed?

Thats very nitpicky though

thanks guys, GH does have a waterslide decal from mr bindy...
I agree about his arms but the ones available like his own and copperheads are really blah, wish he wasn't bigger than RB but oh well, the vest idea is a good one so I did go through to find a new one so what do you think?

Yep, that sells the arms much better. Great looking figure, Tim.

Roadblock rocks in every way. Nice job on the camo too.

I dig Gung Ho also. I get what people are saying about the arms, but it doesn't bother me. I've seen plenty of strong guys with disproportionately large arms. And it's not so bad in this case. That said, the updated vest you gave him does eliminate any cause for doubt. Plus you can still see the tat, without it looking like he got lost from the Village People tour bus, as was the case with the ARAH character.
