The same compliments I gave to Duke are relatively applicable here, however Ripcord is even more restricted in his articulation thanks to not only the bomb disposal vest, but also a pouch-laden second set of webgear on top of it. Not sure why they changed it up like they did, but the reduction in articulation is a drawback in my eyes.īeyond that, I do like the majority of the figure. In the 7-Packs, I can see them doing that, but I do find it disappointing in the main line releases, especially since they'd done it before with not only Duke, but they made it work with Law as well. The end result is that Ripcord lacks that cool wrist articulation we have all grown used to. Now Hasbro did elect to go away from the bulbous wrists that enhanced Duke's articulation, but made him a bit odd aesthetically. In fact, looking at the vest (which Hasbro changed up on us) he is essentially just a rehashed G.I. Yes, he does have different lower legs (which does separate him somewhat from his Renegades teammate) but by and large he's a very similar figure. ![]() Joe: Renegades Duke tooling under that layered webgear. But as usual, it likely comes down to money and the fact that Ripcord essentially just re-uses the G.I. Let's face it, for the bulk of the first season, Ripcord was a non-factor, while Roadblock was a very important core cast member. So now here he is, in action figure form, and I must admit I find it surprising that Hasbro included him before going to Roadblock. Wise cracks, jokes, making up their code names.all of it seemed tragic when he was unexpectedly killed in Episode 1, but I think most of us know how that turned out. Joe: Renegades is considerably less annoying, I think, than his portrayal in the motion picture, but he certainly has many of the same comedic elements. Joe: The Rise of Cobra and the necessary shoe-horning into an entirely different character because of that. Joe lore, the character has become somewhat of a laughing stock in recent years, mostly thanks to his inclusion in G.I. Once one of the most unsung heroes of the Marvel Comics G.I. ![]()
