For those of you that have them, and have done so, what hands are you using to replace the play action key in the Retaliation roadblock?

RoC SGT Stone.

I couldn't find my ROC Stone so I ended up using the 3pack Roadblock's hands.

i currently only own the 3 pack one. and not on purpose.

I don't know why anyone would waste hands from a perfectly good figure to fix Hasbros mistake.

Here's a Ebay auction for a cast hand for Roadblock...

I don't know about anyone else, but I think the forearms on Stone suck (too big for the Stone fig, or any other "normal" Joe for that matter.) So I have a bunch of Stone forearms/hands that I've amassed over the years, and end up using them for bigger figs anyway.

As for fixing Hasbro's mistakes - isn't that why most of us are customizers? ;-)

Aye. I am not a huge fan of the 3-pack Roadblock so he was definitely a sacrifice to the fodder gods. That was why the base body ended up in the Pay It forward box.

Commander Rogers hands work. OPP is. Casting the set for this as well as the 3 pack Roadblock hands.

Are we going with 'RoadRock' officially? 'Cause I prefer 'RockBlock' myself. It rhymes, which is appropriate for the character (or should be, depending on how they do him in the flick).

/I also don't see the point in buying the single fig when the 3pack one is so close to awesome already.

I agree that the three pack fig appears to be a much better figure, both in likeness and the hand issue aside, but unfortunately the three packs haven't turned up here. As for roadrock/rockblock, either way is fine with me, but he's not Roadblock to me.

The problem is that single pack is gonna be my poor mans Sgt Slaughter with a pair of shades and a smokey bear hat

3 pack rockblock is thee Rock IMHO

I vote 'Rockblock', because that refers specifically to the movie ninja-fied version and not the Marvin Hinton we all grew up with...
