The name "Rip It" originally didn't hold any appeal for me, as I'm not a golfer. But once I got beyond it, I realized this is a really decent character. A simple repaint of the HISS tank driver, the figure lacked something to set it apart. This was in the days before pop-off heads, so leaving Rip It without a helmet at all would have been fine by me. That was my approach to the artwork. We know what the HISS tank driver helmet looks like, but we don't know what Rip It looks like.

Thanks!

I've debated whether to include vehicles in the artwork or not. I did put the tank tread rut, which will probably be my first baby step to vehicles...

I like the inclusion of the golf club. Those early '00s filecards had some odd bits in there.

I don't know why I'd never read Rip It's filecard before.
That's very...
interesting.

I guess Hasbro did the best they could with what they had and tried to expand on the characters through the filecards. For Rip It, this worked. Some of the others... not so much.
