Head, torso, arms: Ret Ultimate Roadblock
Legs: Ret Roadblock
Helmet, launcher, wrist gauntlet: DTC Salvo


What we call the New Sculpt era is actually several product lines starting with GI Joe vs Cobra, followed by Spy Troops, Valor vs Venom and finally the internet-exclusive Direct to Consumer line. Along the way, old soldiers were given fresh looks and new characters were created. Looking back on that period between 2002 and 2006, the lines are a mixed bag remembered for strange figure proportions and so-so accessories, but also memorable new characters and fresh new ideas. This is an attempt to bring some of the better ideas into the modern era.

---------------------------------------------------

The DTC version of Salvo was a cool evolution of the character. It added some height to his build, gave us a cool removable helmet and introduced the Javelin portable missile launcher to the GI Joe universe. Unfortunately, the original figure also suffered from some proportion issues and was quite bow-legged. Those are the issues that I tried to address when making this updated version.
