Head; '90 Capt. Grid Iron
Body: '90 Sky Dive


Ripcord was never featured in the cartoon much, and he had some cool stories in the comic, but then faded into obscurity. I never had the original figure as a kid, so Freefall was always my favorite Paratrooper. That being said, Ripcord is a cool character whose figure had a lot of potential.

I wanted to remake Ripcord for along time, especially after seeing Sgartz's cool versions. I wanted the custom to be close to the original but beef him up a little. Around the same time I started working on this figure, I was tossing out ideas for my versus project and thought he'd be a great fit. Originally I was going to pair him up with Zartan, but the Zartan figure was shelved in favor of a Para Viper figure.
