Awesome, it would be nice to finally have a Statham figure. And more Johnson items the better for my Rock collection.
Well with EB planning to make their on Rock, he'll probably be on an accuracy my sized 1-off body with a better sculpt than the HT. So I may get this and then do a body/head swap if EB's is better and has the tats
Really wanna see a pic with both the blk shirt and vest on. Debating on getting this or man of steel. Right now, I'm really liking this. Just hope supes price doesn't jump within a couple months
Have you looked through all the pics like Elljay, Luka, and Plastic Enemies? I could've sworn at least one of them took pics with the black shirt and vest on. Speaking of the vest, man I think it looks incredible! you can't argue that the vest is just amazing tailoring/design work by HT :clap
 
I followed the sculptor's Facebook page, and he just posted these a few hours ago. It's the final product, not the proto. I think it's really good, and must be really impressive in person.

Wow, that's what I was thinking. It will look much better in person and the glare was prob hitting the eyes wrong in some photos but those look great. Really impressed. Might be the first fig I pay extra just to have early.

Good pics Heubert, I understand people being disappointed who wanted this for alternative reasons, but as a movie representation, I don't think they could have done much better.
 
Nice pics.

He looks horrible without a shirt on though, which is a shame as the tattoos look great.
 
I think they should have tried a slight grin expression. Or maybe given us two head sculpts. This expression is just so not Rock like. The torso should be bigger but I think they were worried about the vest not being able to fit over it if it were bigger. Other than that this figure turned out pretty nicely. I'm still not sold on it but I may end up getting him in the long run.
 
Are there any other trusted eBay sellers other than timcent? I see a bunch that say instock but not sure of any other sellers

Those Plastic Enemies photoset made the figure shine. Yeah, OMG also said that HT might have gone with the Barney body as the torso would look too huge with the vest on. However I still wish HT gave Roadblock the MMS T2 T800 arms, with better looking joints.

PS: Paramoremcr88 is indeed a badass photographer. More so now that he revealed he doesn't have any pro equipment :)

I totally agree Heubert. I love The Rock. Followed his rise through WWE and into movies so I was excited about a figure of him but I just can't get over the bad body and elbow joints. It's like a Frankenstein mash up of HT, NECA and Hasbro. The cool tats are wasted on this bad body too. Look forward to seeing what someone does for an arm swap or some other way to at least cover those elbows.

Unfortunately, an arm swap won't be as easy as there are a couple of things to consider: the skin tone and the tattoos. I can only compare these joints to how EB did the knees on their NBA bodies (EB NBA body's upper part has good-looking/non-distracting joints). Surely there was a better way for HT to do it, but like I said before, I think neither Roadblock or The Rock are as special to HT as those they had to create new bodies for.
