Can You Smell What The Block Is Cooking?

The Story about ROADBLOCK — The GI Joe Legend with a Machine Gun and a Frying Pan What do Magic Johnson, a tooth fairy, and a giant machine gun have in common? They all somehow connect to Roadblock—the rhyming, righteously cool heavy machine gunner of GI Joe! In this episode of Stories from the Toyshelf, I take a hilariously honest (and slightly awkward) walk down memory lane as I recount how childhood fears and Filipino family quirks somehow made Roadblock one of my all-time favorite Joes. From his animated heroics in The Revenge of Cobra, to comic book patriotism and neon space suits, to that time The Rock tried to ninja-fy him (sigh), we cover it all! Whether you're a vintage toy collector, comic book fan, or just here for a nostalgic ride, this one's packed with rhymes, rifles, and ridiculous 80s action. So hit that like button, subscribe, and let’s fire up the grill—because Roadblock’s serving up some Joe history you won’t want to miss!
