Ripcord has been one of my favourite Joes of all time. He was all green, had a helmet with a facemask and hose. Best of all, he carried a real battle rifle, the FAL. In the comics, it had a night scope and it was awesome!
Yes, he was impulsive in ejecting from a perfectly good airplane but he was one of the few Joes who fought it out 1-on-1 with Zartan! He may have lost but he impersonated the impersonator, himself!
Now, he is given the 25th Anniversary treatment. I actually bought 5 of these!
G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra toys have finally been released at Retail!
…and I do not mean the special expensive retail shops ;)
I have made it a habit to take pictures of Joe store displays at retail as, sooner or later, some evil munny-grabbing Terry the Toy Terror Taliban will use his mummy’s ill-gotten blood munny to hoard these…
