Ripcord took well over a year to make. To properly match the 1984 3 3/4" figure, I had to hunt high and low for a proper parachute and harness, which nobody seemed to have. It was through sheer luck that I stumbled on this set huddles inside a parts box. The helmet and mask comes from some random jet pilot, since I'd rather have that than risk finding a parachute that actually has a mask that fits into it with the right look. (Probably impossible, too, since Hasbro gave Ripcord the wrong gear to be a HALO jumper!)
