Released as part of Wave 14 in December 2023, Ripper (and Buzzer) mark the Classified debut of the first regular Dreadnok members that are not associated with Zartan or his family. Ripper is mainly re-use of existing figures, but cleverly done in such a way that most people wouldn't even notice (his torso and arms are Copperhead and his legs are Rock N' Roll), making his only new parts his head, web gear and accessories and weapons. That doesn't take anything away from the figure though. Ripper features some stellar sculpting details on his head and face, with tons of detail on his mohawk hairdo, his razor earring and his grizzled, angry face. He even features chipped teeth! Another nice little touches are his detailed tattoos, his smiley face contact lens and his razor blade necklace.
Ripper comes packed with the following gear and accessories: power jaws (a hydraulic combination spreader tool aka the jaws of life), a pair of removable sun shades, a knife, a bladed rifle with removable ammo clip and a bladed pistol. Using the poll options, rate the figure on a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being a total miss and a 10 being plastic perfection, based on what you feel the figure deserves. Ratings should take overall design, sculpt, paint apps and paint deco, accessories and articulation into consideration. Thanks for voting and Yooo Joe!!!

I gave him a 10 as well. No issues with glasses falling off or bent weapons. Definitely an improvement with regards to qc.

Solid 10 for me. Not even a huge Dreadnok fan but this figure is all around great.
Love the design, fun accessories and no QC issues. |

Can someone who owns him tell me if there is a hydraulic tank to hold fluid on his tool?

After Buzzer I wasn't as excited about Ripper, but they nailed it! From head to toe it's a great figure and I actually prefer the rifle storage over him having a backpack. The jaws of life thing is designed to look self-contained, so the lack of the backpack power source doesn't matter to me.
I'd put him on my Top Ten Classified list. |

Solid 9+ for me: Great looking figure, lots of little details to appreciate, good build quality and his glasses stay where they're supposed to with no issue. A backpack would have gotten him to a 10, but even without it he's an excellent figure.

He is damn near perfect to me. Glasses fit, weapons are cool, sculpt and paint are perfect. Only thing missing is storage for the Jaws, but I can live with that. Now I can't help but think what a disappointment Buzzer is going to be after all of the reviews, but fingers crossed.

for me, 9, because I fear the glasses are going to get lost and I'd have liked a backpack. but I love him and am terribly eager for Buzzer and Torch to join him!

8. Copy paste concepts don’t deserve 10s.
