Good review! I really like the figure. The Night Force sub team is my favorite anyway so this version of Ripcord and Crazy Legs look great to me. His head/face sculpt reminds me of Kamakura a little bit. I also really like all of the accessories besides that one gun that will never come out of his holster and the altimeter is so awesome. You weren’t the only one, I also had a little struggle getting his parachute totally on and plugged in but eventually one of my sons was able to get it with his smaller hands 😂
I didn't have the original 3.75" figure and I have this Night Force version so I'm glad I have it. I'm sure v1 will be released at some point. The reused rifle looks pretty good with green instead of the plain black version from the Viper 3 pack. I think the Steel Corps version also has green. The parachute pack on mine did already have stress marks on the hinge. It's going to remain closed since there isn't anything to put into it other than the helmet.
Like you I don't like the rigid plastic of the backpack. I was able to put the backpack on without taking the webgear off. Just had to straighten the arms.
Man, after watching this, I’m just going to keep all 4 of the figures in the box and use some other joes for the pilot and gunner. Thanks for sharing your experience with them.
Wasn’t ripcord completed prior to halo jumper? If you look at it through that lens then you see that they are making improvements. Rip was released later because of the haslab. That’s why the plastic is worse, tube set up makes less sense, etc.
They may have been done in different factories or for some reason they choose different plastic. I don’t think it was anything done on purpose to save money tho.
reuse has never bothered me. it's how they paint it and mix parts to make something unique is what I look for. I only hate reuse when they use parts that have known issues allot. like we'll probably see with agendas boots on future female figures. or the stupid boots and shin guards from the first beachhead that I've seen them use on other figs. I hate those lower legs and feet so much I refuse to buy any figs I notice them on now.
I never thought I would actually be disappointed with the add ons for a Haslab but the head sculpts NEED to be exceptional. The whole figure is reliant on the head if it’s boring and badly done then so is the figure. The ONLY head that’s decent in the entire Haslab is wild bill (thank god) but even he could have been better for had more character.
@ I put a hat and goggles on him I’d be lying if I said he didn’t look great but it’s just not pushed far enough I do believe the sculpt is there I just think it’s a very minimalist paint job that’s making it look off and has me staring at it
There’s no paint detail around his eyes or on his face so it looks totally like a toy even the eyes don’t have any pupil or anything just look at nemesis immortals eyes and this one it’s like they didn’t have enough money or time.

Yeah the parachute looks like it’s made to work with his web gear.

The parachute is really the only thing I’m disappointed in.

The parachute looks like it was made to go on with the web gear, and I hate the plastic for that part.

Why? I’m not sure why you don’t want to use them.
The o-ring face looks like Kevin Spacey
He looks like Ralph mouth from Happy Days
Yes
Your rip cord bag stress marks are pretty much the same on my copy out the box. I even warmed it up before opening up.
I don’t think you can avoid it unfortunately
New to your channel, love your videos!
Where did you get the porta potty?!
Thank you and glad to have you here. A buddy 3D printed the porto potty

great review,APWT aka LawDog..but O-ring,camo Ripcord looks like Kevin Spacey...
Thank you. A couple people have said the same thing.

😂

See, I don’t have any problems with them and actually think that Crazy Legs head sculpt is one of the better ones. To each their own though.

I disagree, Glenda is good and I’m happy with the other 2. Wild Bill is by far the best.

We will be talking about this tonight on Monday Night Toy Rambling’s, I’m not sure I have the same view as some of you guys.
