Very good themed month!
It's just me, or I'm the only who likes the yellow on this joes? As a child that yellow/orange made me want those toys
+Rik Ice It probably isn't just you. I'm sure a lot of kids liked the yellow and orange. But I was just too much of a snob to like it.
Even though I have never owned a Tiger Force figure of vehicle, I really enjoyed Tiger Force Month. Fun stuff. Thanks for the reviews.
+Galaxy of Toys Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it. I'm ready to look at something other than tiger stripes now. It's time for something completely different.
I always liked Tiger Force.
+dromano1977 Well, then I'm glad to have reviewed a few, then!
+HoodedCobraCommander788 Tiger Force and Python Patrol were a chance for me to get characters I missed earlier. Thanks for the reviews.
I remember being excited when I first saw Tiger Force. But then I noticed the figures were exactly like the original figures just painted differently. I never had any when I was a kid.
Dont know if you guys gives a damn but if you guys are stoned like me atm you can stream pretty much all the new series on instaflixxer. Been binge watching with my girlfriend these days xD
@Noel Dakota definitely, I have been using instaflixxer for months myself =)
@Noel Dakota Definitely, I have been using InstaFlixxer for since december myself =)
I definitely like *this* version of Roadblock (and the 1984 version, which this version's based on, by going back to having merely a black moustache, and to wearing orange trousers, only the trousers are now tiger striped) [if I had this figure, I'd have to use orange acrylic paint, to recolour the trousers orange, and finish the legs with a sealant]. I additionally like his 1986 outfit (this version's a new mould, and has a goatee as well as moustache, and the trousers are light grey) [making there three versions I like of Roadblock].
I'm aware the late 1988 Tiger Force Roadblock wears a dark green sleeveless shirt (all three versions are African-American) [I've already said the colour of his facial hair, above], is tall and slim, and, most of all, is a Joe. Needless to say, Roadblock's first outfit (from 1984) wears orange trousers, and merely has a moustache. Another thing I'd do, if I had this version of Roadblock (and his 1984 outfit) - I'd sand off the goatees (of course, using sandpaper for doing so), paint over them with dark brown paint (the colour of both figures' skins), and finish both figures' edits with a sealant (I'd only leave the goatee on the 1986 Roadblock).
I think this was your funniest and most entertaining video so far! (Full Disclosure: I discovered your channel recently and have been watching your reviews out of order). Keep up the good work!
Loved the "chopped episode" parody
Nice in depth review as always, lol at the Bazooka "Fudgies" part. I always liked V4 of Roadblock from '92, decent colors with nice bulky sculpt fitting for Roadblock
Thanks! I'll have to check out the '92 Roadblock. I'm just getting started on the 90s.
I have said this on other Tiger Force reviews. I really wish they went a little more realistic with this line, and gave them tiger stripe camo themes instead of these colors. but, reasons... lol
In 95 I have this guy & many guys from Tiger force versions ... Hit & Run , Roadblock Tunnel Rat , Psyche Out , Duke , Tripwire , Outback , & Tiger Paw ( Cobra Ferret ) ...
+Jakub Buszko In the US we didn't get all of those Tiger Force figures. A lot of collectors like Tiger Force Outback.
HoodedCobraCommander788 " Santa Claus " with back pack & AR rifle well it was in my collection too , it was also tiger versions of Blizzard & West Suit too ...
Ever watch Rambo? (as in the 2008 movie.) At the end of the movie he was supposed to use that exact same gun in the exact same way as Roadblock. If you've seen Stallone in that movie, he looks larger than Roadblock in terms of muscles, and he couldn't handle the gun, he couldn't move while firing it and it took too much energy to hold it and steady it. So they kept it mounted on the back of the jeep for the climax of the movie.
another great review! I'm subscribed to your channel, but didn't get a notification for this one, but saw your link on fb, so at least I didn't miss it... :)
+myke horsley I'm not sure why you didn't get a notification. This video actually posted at the wrong time. I set it to publish at 5:00 AM, when I intended it to publish at 5:00 PM. Maybe that had something to do with it.
roadblock... I wanted to see him pretty cool man his coloring is kind of cool
We really enjoyed TF Theme month, now give us more Cobra! :)
+Étám Irút I need to do more Cobra very soon. It's been WAY too long.
my first tf fig. great review
+phillip powers Thank you! Do you remember what made you choose Roadblock for your first TF figure?
+HoodedCobraCommander788 I'd bought a roadblock v1 from a garage sale with no accessories. I thought I could use tf roadblocks accessories to replace v1 accessories. but they obviously weren't the same. ended up just letting tf roadblock keep his stuff and went on with it. my dad bought it for me at Nelsons drug store in Cambridge Ohio
The only gi joes i used where camouflaged it just made sence
cool review
+james strickland Thank you!
oh and Roadblock, especially the gray vest version are big figs in the modern line.
I would not be surprised if Hasbro intentionally made the Version 1 and 3 head sculpt of Roadblock to be similar to another New England area athlete. He looks like former heavyweight boxing champion Marvelous Marvin Hagler from Brockton, MA.
Only in Warhammer 40,000 would warriors ever run into battle wearing bright yellow, Tiger Force is Silly Force!!
"Tigger Farce". LMAO
+Ken Hayward That will get stuck in your head and you won't be able to say it the right way.
Night force and tiger force where awesome ny the way
His hat is cool, how can you pick on this guy
Great review. I concurr with you, on using v2 Roadblock for T.F. yes the helmet sucks. Any man who can fire The Ma-Deuce from his hip, can wear anything he wants.
+Byron Kellogg Good point.
Like the majority of tiger force. I didn't like buying these joes but I was missing them in my collection.
I liked the review, and there are only 2 tiger force figures i'm missing. those figures being dusty and frostbite
+Tyrell White You have a more complete collection than I do. I have reviewed all the Tiger Force figures I have. I'll need to stock up on more before I do Tiger Force month again.
Great review, HoodedCobraCommander788! I owned the original and Tiger Force Roadblock figures growing up. Roadblock is one of my favorite G.I. Joe characters. I think the Tiger Force version is cool, but not as cool as the original. Like you, I didn't like the yellow striped helmet.I am planning on eventually getting version 2, which I wanted as a kid, but never owned. I have always wondered why version 2 was never given a backpack for the tripod like version 1 and the Tiger Force versions. I was wondering if you knew whether or not version 2's tripod will fit on the peg of a version1/ Tiger Force version backpack? Have you tried this to see if it works? I've thought about getting a backpack for version 2 when I get it, but I'm not sure if it'll work.
I think Tiger Force Recondo looked the best. Except for the royal blue hat.
+David Sharp I look forward to reviewing Tiger Force Recondo, Maybe there will be another Tiger Force month in the future.
I'm sad. The end of Tiger Force month. I was hoping you'd review the exclusive to Brazil Tiger Force Shipwreck. That one really strays away from its original while still using most of its original molding.
Oh, thank you for the info on the removable ammunition piece from his backpack. As a kid, I thought it was a mistake. I got a new wrinkle on my brain 👍🏻
+Hector Canales What about Tiger Force Outback?
+Étám Irút Shipwreck is and always has been my favorite... Outback is cool, but his Tiger Force color scheme doesn't make too appealing... Shipwreck being my favorite,..As long as its Shipwreck I'm happy
+Hector Canales It may seem like a small thing, but I love seeing people in the comments talking about their favorite Joes. It warms my cold, stony heart.
Breakfast uploadin!
+kero wack I'm still trying to master the concept of "AM" and "PM"
I'm shocked Hasbro didn't assign Roadblock to a Tiger Force vehicle like they did with some of the other figures. Guess he is to much of a bad ass to drive a vehicle.
+magnificentfungizoids I think you want Roadblock out in front with that big machine gun. If he were to be packaged with a vehicle, it would need to be something small and open, like a motorcycle.
"Hey brother, you better drive, leave it to 'Ol Roadblock, to keep GI Joe alive."
Great review as always, so after watching all of the TF reviews this month my opinion stays the same. Figures look good grouped together but the color scheme especially the bright yellow of the vehicles will always put tiger force very low on my list of things to get (if I ever get any more) looking forward to next week's review as I'm sure you are lol.
+Chris Michalec Thanks! I don't expect to change a lot of minds, but at least if we look at the toys closely, people can make informed opinions. I'm looking forward to next week's review, too! It will be totally different.
Awesome
There is a better real world insparation for Tiger Force. Tiger Force Recon, a special force team used in Vietnam. Tiger Force was a specialized platoon sized unit that branched off of LRRP/Rangers. Instead of doing recon their goal was to beat the VC at their own game. Stalker, and Snake Eyes were LRRPs in their back story. This is the Ranger unit they could, or should, have been in. Stalker would have been the perfect choice to lead GI Joes Tiger Force. With out any yellow in the teams colors.
Edit: I started to second guess my above post, so I did a little search. Sadly Tiger Force has a stain on it's history. Hasbro not tying it into the real one is a good call. Lesson is, measure twice post ponce.
Lol. I was the guy who hoped for bazooka but knew it was gonna be roadblock. only you can have me lol at roadblock for twenty minutes. always hated version 1 head sculpt. wished they had updated version 2.
+kero wack The version 1 head. What would I call that shape? Kidney bean? Milk dud? A Tiger Force v2 Roadblock could have been great, but they may have put him in orange trousers or something. You never know. The color combinations almost seem to have been assigned at random.
+HoodedCobraCommander788 he could've been cast as egghead in a batman figure line.
while I liked stalker a lot, roadblock was not in my favs,
perhaps because of the tv cartoon, it felt like they loved him more than me, lol.
my friends and I laughed at his ridiculous small arms - huge chest.
a slaughter arm mold would have looked better.
while the colors were not so bad, v-1 looked better to me as well.
good show!
yeah,Tiger Force Roadblock's head reminds me of those real elongated skills they found in Peru with very questionable DNA and sutures, you could say they are maybe alien, lol
v1 or v2?
I honestly disliked most of the Tiger Force toys except for the fact that they brought back some awesome characters and vehicles. even came up with a new pilot for them! hated the repaints on everything but the Tiger Cat and Frostbite.
he goes well with tf crosshair tf wreckage and tf dial tone tf sgt stalker tf jinx tf alpine tf shipwreck and tf wild bill tf torpedo.
what about Rock n Roll??
I've already said this in the the first ROADBLOCK review but does anyone notice that version 2 of ROADBLOCK looks like a S.T.A.R.S. member from Resident Evil?
+nodto modley I did not notice that!
Tiger force missed the mark horribly. It's just my opinion but I think they should have used Vietnam era tiger stripe camouflage. I think it would have been a popular throwback idea. At the time vietnam movies and shows were popular. I think i would have been a hit and possibly sparked a new series of comics or cartoons.
maybe he a Bengals fan...hahhahahaaa!!man that helmet is LOUD...hahahahahaaaaa
+M.G.Villan It would be kind of weird for him to be a Bengals fan from Mississippi, but stranger things have happened. They don't need to take "Tiger Force" quite so literally.
HoodedCobraCommander788 right ..i heard that nice work though always enjoy your work
I didn't no thair. Was a tiger fors rode black
No offense but his helmet looks more like for BMX driver or Skyteer ...
Dwayne Johnson fires the M2 from the hip in Retaliation. Probably not realistic, but looks pretty badass.
+sirkowski I did see that. I also noticed they only had him firing it in short bursts. It kicks hard. If Dwayne Johnson can't hold it steady, nobody can.
Yep.
the original Roadblock has a great design...in concept. Horrible figure cause he isn't a heavy machine gunner due to the grip.
