This was a figure that always seemed like he was "close" but juuuust missed the mark in making him an awesome figure. Parts of the figure were just too sci fi for me. My first build used a Life Line figure but in reading Stretcher's bio he is supposed to be a big dude who runs onto the battle field to lift up a fallen trooper and carry him back to safety. The fact that the file card said Stretcher wanted to use his strength and size to help people made me realize I had to make this guy bigger. Thankfully the Rock played Roadblock and we got a pretty sweet figure from that move. I went about looking into what parts of the vintage figure I liked, wanted to erase, alter, or add to. I came up with keeping his harness to hold his big ass backpack. But wanted to add some medical pouches to him that he could grab with minimal effort when tending to wounded. I also did not want his holster to be up by his heart as it made more sense to me to be low closer to his center of gravity and hands when running...so if he needed to take out some Cobras while holding a buddy on his back he could. The medics in Gi Joe are always portrayed as very supportive and non-threatening. I wanted a tough guy here. A guy who will run into a hale of gunfire and explosions to grab one of his guys. Then take out his handgun and take out any of the enemy that gets in his way as he tries to get his buddy back to his buddies. I wouldn't want to mess with this version of Stretcher.
