Duke, Scarlett, Heavy Duty all have figures in both the Accelerator Suits and out of them. Breaker doesn't even have a figure in the suit.
So why does Ripcord only have 1 figure and it's in the suit? I'd love a non-suit Ripcord figure with gear similar to the Desert Ambush Duke. That would be an awesome figure. So why is he the only one in just the suit?

I'm sure there will be a Ripcord figure out of the Accelerator Suit. SE, Heavy Duty, Scarlett and Breaker don't wear Accelerator Suits in the movie, only Duke and Ripcord. The black armor suits that you've seen on Heavy Duty, Scarlett, and one of the Duke figures is their Reactive Armor which is very different than the Accelerator Suits.
As for a Desert Ambush Ripcord, I'd love to see that figure made too.

I might be the only guy getting Accl Ripcord. I'm swapping his head with a extra BAT's (UBERBAT!!!) and putting Ripcord's head on a Greenshirt.

I'm getting one. I think it's a cool looking figure. Won't even be head swapping.

Looks like there's a "fatigues/vest" Ripcord on TaoBao now. I'd imagine that a "reactive armor" Ripcord and probably a "desert ambush" Ripcord are going to show up eventually...they're just holding off because it probably wouldn't look too good if they started doing simple headswaps in the first couple waves. (Swap reactive Armor Duke's head with Accelerator Suit Ripcord, and you get both a Reactive Armor Ripcord and an Accelerator Suit Duke).
Heck, if the heads are easily swappable (requiring no modding to fit properly) you could simply buy those two figures and headswap for movie-accurate versions of the same characters... |
