I was looking at my spare parts pile and seen I could do a Ripcord with little work... So this is what I came up with...
Needs: Black and Green Paint A UBP Stalker Snow Serpent Web gear BlowTorch.... u could use any big helmet I would think? Torpedo mask and if you want to give him a head I used the head out of a star wars comic 2 pack....... Two jedi that look like sith...?? N a little red skull action...( I just need a Colonel Vogel ) |

also torpedo's mask and breakers helmet works well. I used the hose from a mynok hunt mask because it has the air bottle. but this is something you could do if you don't have a blowtorch mask to spare |

LOL
yeah, i thought the same. That Stalker looks quite similar... But yesterday, i got that Stalker (exactly to make a custom Ripcord) and comparing with the original Ripcord isn't that accurate. I'm being nitpicky of course: Ripcord doesn't have battle boots. In fact, Stalker's legs doesn't match Ripcord's at all. Ripcord doesn't have pockets in the arms (tho Stalker lower arms are perfect). Stalker doesn't have the pockets in the chest. Now, what i think is a straigth custom ripcord, is capt Ace from the "pilots" pack (the one that cames with skyduster, and Wild Bill). Damn, he's even redheaded! If you mix him a bit with this Stalker, i think you can get an almost exact Ripcord...i have the suspicion that precisely that's what we get when he's finally released officially. Still, you have a great Ripcord. Very similar, and i personally like customs that doesn't need much painting. And damn, that head is simply perfect! Good thinking! |

I thought Ripcord was black. That's the only thing I see that's really off.

these are both really nice, and 'bro could easily do them with a minimum of new parts. Too bad they're worried that the toy-buying public will become confused by the two different identities of the character, something that, apparently, they are not as concerned about in the case of Breaker.
