It's the "Jungle Assault" Ripcord figures. re which jacks up the price of that auction.
That figure was part of the final wave of the ROC line along with City Strike Duke, City Strike Snake Eyes, and Desert Battle Desert-Viper. This wave wasn't released at the normal brick & mortar retail stores (like Target, Toys R Us, and Walmart) due to the fact that those stores had already canceled their orders so these ended up at discount stores (like Marshall's, Ross, and TJ Maxx) and international markets instead.

Are you old enough to remember KANG from Secret Wars? That was MY first example of peg warmers..... he was abundant on the pegs in the 80s..... then commanded bucks on the after market....

Actually the RoC toys line is not that bad, they are a good base for customs, i saw a few using sgt stone, desert duke and jungle ripcord as the base of their customs, and beside he is from the cancelled wave so its bound to affect the prices

^ Yeah, that's right.
Even if you hate movie Ripcord, though, the Jungle version is a really nice figure. You can just pretend he's some generic black army guy or whatever.

*Thanks for everyone who PM'ed me offering the figures! I LOVE the Tank!
I never saw the Desert Ripcord or that whole line. I remember the POC line ending with Alley-V's @ CVS, then the Renegades line came soon after. I grabbed the Renegades Ripcord (Awesome gear, wish they had his BioViper variant). I loved RC because he was the only Joe to be be race-swapped and succeed. Growing up with VERY few black action heroes (I dare you to say Apollo Creed) I defaulted to rhyming Roadblock, his carbon copy HD, Cuban Alpine and a brother who liked SNOW. I hated them all. And I liked Cobra, where Aussies and Eastern Europeans ruled and the minorities were scarce. With RC I was happy that my kids would get more color to their Joes. And I finally got what I THINK are Black Cobras Night Adder and Shadow Tracker (with f$$king MASKS!), but beggars can't choose. I'd love to make custom joes, but seeing my Renegade RC MOC makes me smile. I still await the day for a Black Female mainstream Joe. I hear she won't sell, but hell, at least give me her in an EPISODE of Renegades.
