Kinda cool looking. I like that they are introducing new characters (hoping for more!). He’s got some surfer tatoos, but what is up with the chainsaw and axe…was he a former lumberjack? Are they motivation for the Joes he trains? Can anyone figure out what parts he is made from?

well, as much as that card art does look more like fraser than stone’s did…im still sticking with sgt. stone being his character.

let me rephrase…after seeing this figure, im HOPING for it to be stone.

as far as the figure itself? not too thrilled.

hes a trainer…who trains with a chainsaw, axe and floppy hat?

new characters i dont mind. but when theyre just slapped together in an effort to get me to open the wallet? not feeling it.

tkprime- No, Rock and Roll is just a generic, untrademarkable name. Hence his two figures being “SSGT. Rock and Roll” for 25A. Bench Press, apparently, CAN be trademarked.

Also… I’ll add one more to it…why else would Toys R Us have an exclusive on the character unless he was special in some way?

By the way, where does it say anything about him being a trainer? Rock n Roll was the Joe’s trainer, but this card doesn’t say anything about it, at least if it does I’m not seeing it.

I’m with The Jay, he looks like Big Brawler.

His name and profile are reminiscent of Rock’n'Roll and he certainly doesn’t look like a “motorcycle rider”, which is the only aspect of Fraser’s character that’s been mentionned.

I must admit I’m disappointed the only firearm this guy comes with is the oversized missile launching gatling gun Heavy Duty came with.

I think folks have really given Fraser’s glib statement about playing his Mummy character’s descendant too much thought.

I’m pretty sure he just said he was playing a descendant of his Mummy character because he was promoting the last Mummy film at the time and his blink and you’ll miss him cameo in the Joe film is uncredited so he had no idea what his character’s name was. He just knew he wasn’t playing Gung-Ho since he thought Gung-Ho was gay. Then Joe fans ran wild with the speculation that he was Rock ‘N Roll cause the two character names are sorta the same.

Basically actors are idiots and you should never believe anything they say.

With that said he might be Bench-Press, I dunno.

I spoke to a Hasbro rep today about this figure and it is NOT Brenden Fraser’s character.

Also, the figure was supposed to be the movie line Rock ‘n’ Roll but they had to change the name due to copyright issues. Since they are now going into international territories with these figures the names have to clear internationally. So Rock ‘n’ Roll wasn’t available somewhere and had to be changed. Rather than just slap a new name on the figure they changed the character completely with a new bio, specialty and codename. Unfortunately the Craig McConnel file name is an error on the card that got missed when it was produced.
