#GI JOE ROADBLOCK SERIES#

The gatling gun, backpack, and ammo belt were originally released with Hasbro’s Rock N Roll version 2 in 1989. The machine gun was originally released with the 1992 Hasbro Roadblock. Russian Funskool GI Joe Roadblock comes with a large black machine gun with attached scope, an orange backpack, a yellow twin gatling gun (also with scope) featuring black barrels, and a black ammo belt. We’ll go more in depth on the colors in the next section. The figure’s color layout is the same as the Hasbro version, with only minor color differences. Russian Funskool GI Joe Roadblock is decked out in a green sleeveless commando sweater with (presumably) a black collared shirt worn underneath, a brown shoulder harness with weapons, blue trousers, black gloves, a black belt, and black boots with brown boot coverings. This differs drastically from Indian Funskool cards, where all text and information is presented in English. Note that all text on the back of the card, including filecard and character names, are all presented in Russian. The accessories differ greatly, though, and they are probably why this figure is of any interest to collectors at all. This figure uses the same mold as Hasbro’s 1992 Roadblock version 4, and also uses very similar colors. The Russian Funskool GI Joe Roadblock figure was released around 1998, according to a translated version of the card back. As a fun side note, “beetle” is Russian slang for “swindler.” Russian Funskool GI Joe Roadblock Figure and Accessories Though these were reportedly only produced for a year, they can still be found in former USSR territories. Aside from Chuckles, all Russian Funskool figures are nearly identical to their Indian counterparts– only the card backs were changed. The company who assisted in this release, Two Beetles (see their logo on the card back below), likely had a connection at Funskool.

Updated 5/6/21: According to a source in a former Soviet country (who has also translated the card backs), the entire Russian run of Funskool GI Joe figures was released in 1998. ( Updated 4/20/21: Made some corrections on accessories, thanks to my friend General Liederkranz.) This simply a more in-depth look at the figures I profiled in my Russian Funskool GI Joe Jamboree post, and is intended as a resource for fans and collectors.
