Wetsuit
The original figure was good, but a few things bothered me, namely his missing boots and long sleeves. So I popped out the arms and replaced them with the forearms from a comic pack Rock n Roll. Original I tried ROC Hawk's, but they looked too puny. For the boots, I used the boil and pop method to remove Wet-suit's knees and a Viper's knees, then swapped them.

Ripcord
For the record, this is Altitude... This is Ripcord... SO the figure in the Assault on Cobra Island is Ripcord, not Altitude. Darn Rise of Cobra.... Any way, here is a simple fix I did to the darn near perfect Ripcord... |

Just kidding, had a few Marlon heads laying around.
I replaced the Red Star head with Airborne's, the RS head sat too low. I painted the flesh to match on the face and neck along with a new hair color. I also painted all the buckles on the harness. The final step was to carve out the elbow sockets a bit to give them full range of motion. I also drilled a hole into his harness so his air hose could connect. |

the artwork for SPC altitude on the 7 pack is the same as the 84 ripcord so their is no question. Just hasbro trying not to confuse the kids. Why do we have a hose that leads to no where on this figure?

I'd try the Ripcord if it didn't involve painting... :(

I did the exact same fix on Wetsuit the second I got him out of the box and prefer him much better that way.
