ACTION FORCE 1985 (THIRD SERIES)
ROADBLOCK
Roadblock
Heavy Machine-gunner
Born: French Congo.
A gourmet chef with no taste for Cobra, Roadblock is a man of few words and with immense strength. He carries 60kgs of machine-gun and ammo wherever he goes. Loyal, dependable and utterly fearless.
Roadblock came with a helmet, backpack, ammo case (that connected to the backpack and gun), machine gun and machine gun tripod/ stand. The accessories for this figure were a great design!
The machine gun tripod could be stored on a peg on the backpack. The machine gun fitted onto the tripod. The ammo clip could also be stored on the backpack and placed on the machine gun. The ammo clip was sometimes a loose fit when plaed on the gun!
