Hot Toys The Rock as GI Joe Roadblock 1/6 Scale figure

I've been waiting for pic of this figure for a while!
I've also bee waiting for an opportunity to purchase my first Hot Toys figure.
I missed out on the Assassins Creed and Resident Evil Chris Redfield offerings.

So, This will be my first purchase!
The face sculpt is spot on...of what Dwayne will look like in ten years if he let's himself go.
The sculpt is a little to old and weathered.


The figure features 30 points of articulation
3 pairs of hands
and various weaponry

Item is do to ship 4th quarter

Retail Price: $219.00

Mommie Dearest Forever!



Item # 14025
Mommie Dearest™
 Official Collectible Doll Gift Set
Limited edition of 800 dolls
Suggested Retail Price: $150.00
Approximate Ship Date: Early July 2013




 FANTASTIC!
I am completely floored and absolutely THRILLED with this new release from Integrity toys!
My neighbors knocked to see what all the screaming was about!

The Mommie Dearest Gift Set is hopefully the first of many releases for this Paramount FIlms property.

She is fantastic and wonderful in every way.
This item also is the first release with the new quick release head system that allowss collectors to change heads among different body types with ease and without boiling to soften heads.

My only gripe is that the head mold should have had the frowning or angry Anges Von Weiss Face  mold.
I'm sure there is a senesable reason as to why it does not and I will ask an Integrity staff member when I get a chance. (see pics below)

I am also aware this does not look like the divine Joan Crawford or Faye Dunaway.
In the past Integrity has claimed their film properties represent the characters and not the actress.
In this case, (as with the other Integrity celebrity properties: Lana Turner and Josphine Baker) the face sculpt still  doesn’t resemble the star.
 

However, the design and presentation of this representaion of J.C. is eons ahead of the uninteresting offerings by Robert Tonner.
It is sheer brilliance to include the wire hanger and the changeable head!
It is simply a must have for any doll collector and Joan Crawford fan!
