Ripcord is the HALO jumper of GI Joe. In the ARAH series he had a girlfriend named Candy who was killed when she went to Springfield. I didn't really know Ripcord growing up as I followed the cartoon more than the comic. But as I now began reading the classic comics, I do appreciate him.
In 2009, Ripcord was now changed from white to African-American, played by Marlon Wayans. And from there on, Ripcord is now represented as an African American as seen in Renegades. Out of all the modern releases, there are 6 I would consider being the to be the top contenders on, "which version of Ripcord do you prefer?" YOJOE.COM | Spc. Altitude This version was released with the Assault of Cobra Island set. This is only the Caucasian version of Ripcord that was available in the modern line. But this also creates a stir as his name is Spc. Altitude, but is based of the character, Freefall. The only thing that makes him close to Ripcord as this version resembles closely to the vintage version of Ripcord. YOJOE.COM | Wallace "Ripcord" Weems This version of ripcord is the RoC accelerator suit, which was one of the big gimmicks of the Joes in the movie. It's a pretty sweet, though it doesn't have anything to do with HALO jumping. YOJOE.COM | Wallace "Ripcord" Weems This version of Ripcord is when he has the Reactive Armor in the RoC line. It's the standard outfit that the main Joe characters wear in the film. Once again, it is a sweet suit, but there's nothing about HALO jumping in this outfit. YOJOE.COM | Wallace "Ripcord" Weems Jungle assault Ripcord from the RoC line. It's pretty much a camo version of the Reactive Armor, plus a few accessories that make Ripcord out in the jungle for blood. Though it has no parachutes of sorts, it does have that feel of being a HALO jumper in it. http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...e-ripcord.html This is the unreleased PoC Desert Battle Ripcord. Though you can't find these in retailers, this concept of Ripcord was changed into Skydive. This version finally went back to Ripcord's roots of being a HALO Jumper, but a bit more modernized. And by modernized, I meant futuristic. He comes with glider wings, search lights, and bombs. http://www.hisstank.com/gi-joe-news/...1301767798.jpg This is the Renegades version of Ripcord, though it is going to be released later in the fall, it's still in the running of being possible your favorite version of Ripcord

25th version (SPC Altitude) is my favorite
I also love the Desert Battle Ripcord that wasn't released although not as Ripcord. All others I don't like enough to own, except for the Renegades one which I will pick up when it releases. Won't comment on it until I own it. |

The original ARAH Ripcord was one of my favorite toys ever. I liked the way his character was portrayed in both the comics and cartoon. IDW's Ripcord is fastly gaining though. I really like him, and hope he doesn't end up buying it in the Cobra Civil War.
As far as figures go I would rank them as... ARAH Rip RoC Jungle Assault Rip Renegades Rip AOCI 25th Rip RoC RIA Rip As far as the way the character is portrayed... ARAH Rip IDW Rip RoC Rip Renegades Rip

I repainted my AOCI version to Freefall's colors (I'll post it sometime, I'm happy with how it came out.)
The Jungle Assault version is a cool figure, but doesn't really scream HALO whatsoever. The cancelled figure is damn awesome. I'm glad I was able to get one. He looks cool next to my Skydive. |

Renegades=dead Ripcord is my favorite. I like that he was killed off in the first episodes. I'll skip his figure.

I do love the ARAH Ripcord, and I just snagged the Desert Battle Ripcord the other day on ebay, and I plan on getting the Renegades Ripcord.
-But I'll consider Desert Battle Ripcord Spc. Altitude, -AOCI is going to be my Ripcord, -Renegades Ripcord I'll probably make him Freefall in my Joeverse

I don't count Spc. Altitude and Rip Cord as the same character. This kinda seems like a I hate marlon wayans group therapy thread.
