[@GhostRider-870]

That right eye of his may be a prosthetic. I dont remember seeing him without his glasses back in the 80s. Great video!

[@BaldyLockz]

Thank you and good call. I’m still in awe of the attention to detail.

[@bighamm98]

That prosthetic eye makes me think of the bad guy from Last Action Hero. I think that guy had an English type accent

[@jdo8560]

well I wasn't really planning to get Ripper... but now I am

[@jonathanhampshire6856]

For some reason that "clip" on his beard looks like a razor blade to me. The figure looks superb. Just wish it had extra hand options.

[@BaldyLockz]

That’s exactly what it is. I kept looking it over.

[@user-gx2ij1ct2k]

I still wonder why there is a smile face in his right eye😂

[@user-ub2er4rz4o]

All time favorite you said that about the last figure Dude!!!

[@BaldyLockz]

Helix? Never heard of her as a kid but I could probably say it about most Joes/Cobras. That was my favorite line to collect. Still is. And she’s growing on me.

[@LandofMert76]

So glad they got rid of the belly shirt

[@BaldyLockz]

Haha me too but they pulled the look off with Zartan so I expected it for the other Dreadnoks. Makes me wonder how they’ll do Torch

[@cyberfrank-bx2nv]

good job on the review bro. I especially appreciate the comparison with other figs and poses at the end, more!!! about Ripper yeah, he looks great, realistic, bad, and that eye, wow. I d have his jeans a bit lighter, and have those things silver instead as the pics show, I m not too sold on the tattoos, as he did nt have that much showing. but that s all small nit picking stuff, nothing Lee Majors. you make quite a good point showing him on a bike, as this missed a lot for me for the dread team. Hasbro should have released bikes for them, before the thunder machine. yeah, there was this tricycle, but it was nt as cool to me. if there were bikes for the dreads and a ninja for Stormy, that d rock the clock mop. hey, we can t all afford those $130 + Can Haslabs, bikes are what most of us can afford. I m not sure I could resist the dreads with cool bikes as yours. ok, maybe more colours than just black Punisher no accents. I had to pass on Zartan and gang and crimsons all for financial and space reasons, for my budget, they are a very extensive enterprise$, one I can t afford and have no space left for. my situation would need to change drastically to have the kind of house my Joe vision would need. and then, I d probably do dios and stop motion movies. right now, I have a lighted desk where I have one scene that I change now and then. Punisher & Cap America VS Cobra Commander, Baroness, 1 pyth bat, 2 officers. all my figs are displayed on top of pantries green lighted next to the ceiling as a hall of fame style. I only buy a little legends to mix with Joes. I wanted Indy raiders, but can t find him, so I m not buying any other yet. who wants to get stuck with just them without Hawk? heu, I mean, Indy, the hero. in the end, I m not so sore, I once had these figs and did nt use them much in scripts - scenarios. I m more about the military - action inspired type, and the dreads are more about chaos, lol. good show bro.

[@aaronscott5882]

An absolutely awesome review of Ripper and his cool accessories!

[@BaldyLockz]

Thank you so much

[@aaronscott5882]

@@BaldyLockz Phenomenal work! 👍

[@dustindustindontworry-jz8dh]

great figure

[@BaldyLockz]

He really is

[@RadicalToys]

Great , I can see him and buzzer getting the retrocardback treatment. Backpack and half shirt repaint. Can't wait

[@BaldyLockz]

Gotta embrace the half shirts. Zartan did

[@craigwagner1760]

I think his face resembles Gerald Butler off of the movie 300 lol! Great review!

[@BaldyLockz]

Ahh that’s a great call!

[@cyberfrank-bx2nv]

hey bro, aside from bikes, I miss those small action packs - scenes that used to cost the price of a fig. besides figs, in classified, I think it d be the best completion product. I d love to get fuel drums and jerrycans, or the bivouac, the missile post, riffle crates... imagine how great reviews would look with those props, or just any scene, you can t have this with legends... only g.i. Joe is g. i. Joe, lol. if we suggest it enough, it ll happen I m pretty sure. oh, congrats on the night raft, it s suuuper! it s another of these packs, it s a must in my book, especially at this scale. hey, you could make a post about it, your mission, if you accept it bro. thanks!

[@stooperbrody2993]

Those are Rock and Roll’s boots

[@j.olacio5298]

It looks more like a dog tag earring to me. The rifle clip doesn't stay in on the 1 I got. I wonder if anyone else is having the same issue?

[@robertwantland646]

Great job! Loved the Dreadnoks as a kid and can not wait for them to get into my collection

[@BaldyLockz]

Thanks. You’re gonna love this one

[@wayigotitfigured9800]

I'm calling this the 50/50 wave. Every figure is a partial re-use. I don't think it's necessarily 'bad', but it is kind of concerning that there are no completely new tools in this entire wave. Old Ripper here is wearing Rock N' Roll's pants and boots. He also carries a modified XLMR-3.

[@coris3436]

Much better than buzzer. Will add to the collection. Wish they kept the gold chain

[@BaldyLockz]

I’m opening Buzzer tomorrow can’t wait

[@coris3436]

@@BaldyLockz put him back in the box, send him back

[@alexandros.yiannis]

Thank you for the review! Definately one of the best gi Joe classified of 2023! The pistol is goofy though...

[@BaldyLockz]

Thanks for watching. It’s weird. Almost looks like a utility knife

[@russellross172]

hey those are razor blades around the neck and earring

[@BaldyLockz]

Absolutely right I got it wrong due to the colors but I now remember it being mentioned

[@JoeyFinnell84]

He has Rock n Roll's Legs and Boots.

[@BaldyLockz]

It’s funny I checked that after and you’re right

[@fireman3857]

Only smiley face eyeball I remember was the bad guy from "The last action hero". The new hydraulic spreaders are hoseless/cordless, not as powerful but nice in confined space rescues

[@BaldyLockz]

I had forgotten about that dude but that’s gotta be the inspiration

[@ShutoStriker]

The fact that his shades stay on his face is a huge win. Compared to Buzzer where his shades were an after thought thrown in needing to be glued. I might actually get Ripper; cool jaws of life, sculpt detail, figure has presence, and can now confirm his shades stay on. I'm not crazy about the Dreadnoks so I can skip Buzzer (prob be on sale soon tho) but Gnawgahyde is a must get favorite. Look forward to seeing Torch and Monkey Wrench too.

[@BaldyLockz]

I can’t wait for all the Dreadnoks. I’m opening Buzzer next. The glasses for Ripper is a huge win

[@falcon048]

Awesome. Man, I can't wait. I suppose if BBTS gets him in early, I will spring the extra $20 to get him early. I loved the Dreadnoks. Wanna catch'em all!!! This one looks a lot better than Buzzer, to be sure. What I really want to know...where did you get that awesome Chopper? Finding 1/12 scale bikes that actually fit proportionally to GIJOE is hard!

[@ShutoStriker]

Yeah this figure makes Buzzer look worse than he already was

[@BaldyLockz]

That’s the chopper that came with Marvel Legends Punisher from a few years ago. It’s a great bike

[@jigsawnora3207]

Shut the front door! I was thinking Bees was going to review this first but... Oh well! I'm happy I have money in my account waiting for him and the good general✨✨✨ Oh also my Buzzer glasses / goggles stay on you just have to line it up right with the ears and the eyes and just press✨ Nice review I can't wait for him to ship✨✨✨✨✨

[@BaldyLockz]

You’re gonna love him. Can’t wait to open Buzzer myself. I think Bees and I get them the same day sometimes haha

[@RhinoRobM]

razor blades, not dog tags, same as the clip on the beard, it's a razor blade worn as an earring

[@BaldyLockz]

Yup, I totally missed it. I blame the charcoal coloring

[@davidr8389]

Great review. He looks awesome and can’t wait to get him.

[@BaldyLockz]

Thank you. He’s so much fun!

[@jamesbaca3218]

Not dog-tags, razor blades. ear ring is a razor blade too i think.

[@DoubleD2003]

So far all the Drednok classifieds are home runs

[@BaldyLockz]

I agree. I can’t wait to see how they handle Torch

[@DoubleD2003]

@@BaldyLockz I'm hoping for Roadpig he's my favorite dreadnok

[@rootofevil777]

Love police academy reference 😂 Now you have me thinking whether or not I thought it was a jackhammer too Great figure. My wave is in the mail (minus Helix). Excited for Hawk. Looks great to me! What’s the bike? Looked at a few online. Like yours.

[@jonathanhampshire6856]

The bike looks like the one that comes with Marvel Legends Punisher.

[@BaldyLockz]

It’s the bike that comes with Punisher. I’m glad I’m not alone with the jack hammer thing haha

[@BaldyLockz]

Oh, and that scene from Police Academy always makes me laugh haha

[@giltucker2007]

Those weren't dog tags they're actually razor blades Lenny said

[@BaldyLockz]

Yup, not sure how I missed it. The coloring threw me off

[@gaslandsmechanic4978]

I thinki the thing on his ear is supposed to be a razor blade

[@LandofMert76]

Could potentially knock Zartan out of my top figure spot

[@BaldyLockz]

He did for me

[@kgthegreatone943]

Just order one

[@BaldyLockz]

You’re gonna love it

[@cyriljackal]

They're razor blades on his necklace and ear.

[@BaldyLockz]

They 100% are and the color threw me off

[@gregarcher8177]

Better than the original oring imo.

[@BaldyLockz]

Ripper is such a great update. The original o-rings will always win for me. Nostalgia

[@yodaizamuppet7593]

New jersey rules

[@BaldyLockz]

It’s the land of Magic and Exits

[@johnvader4584]

So why didn’t you just show both dread Knox?

[@BaldyLockz]

Not sure I’m doing one on Buzzer. Gotta pick and choose. But if you want it you’ve got it

[@LandofMert76]

How does the rifle attach to his back?

[@BaldyLockz]

There’s a small peg on his harness to hold the gun

[@ginapimentel6687]

You look like him!

[@BaldyLockz]

I wish I had his hair and maybe your phone number ;)

[@cmoney7363]

He looks sicc!

[@BaldyLockz]

He is. So well done

[@davidliskey3553]

What bike is that? It works perfectly

[@BaldyLockz]

That the bike that came with Marvel Legends Punisher. It’s really well done

[@rebekah541]

Those are razor blades not dog tags and he has another single razor blade on his right ear

[@BaldyLockz]

Rookie mistake I made. I actually knew that and fumbled. Good catch

[@russelllemieux]

Where you get this guy ??

[@BaldyLockz]

A friend in Canada got it through his distributor
