Ripcord is a great character, and has always had one of the coolest looks. It was sad we only ever received one release during the ARAH run, as he should have made appearances in subsequent years.

I have made a few Ripcord figures over the years to fill in various spots in my collection. One spot I really felt was missing was the '86 assortment of figures, which is one of the most prolific years of my childhood. And that is the year this figure was designed to be a part of.

As an aside: It's funny to me how the heads of figures become more recognizable to me as different characers because of the customs. Red Star as Grand Slam, Countdown as Airborne, and Grid Iron as Ripcord are just a few examples of this.

To teach, improve, share, entertain and showcase the work of the customizing community.
