GI Joe Classified Ripper Review

[@JamesLucas73]

Ripper was always my least favorite of the original 3 Dreadnoks, but this is an absolutely amazing 6" version! They killed it with him! Buzzer is bad af, so us Ripper. Can't wait to see Torch and Monkeywrench. My favorite episode of Arise Serpentor, Arise has always been the Dreanok new member tryouts.

I disagree and feel this doesn’t capture the character as much. Pants should been much much lighter.

[@billierenfro705]

I’m getting every dreadnok….it will be hard for them to beat Ripper though….it’s one or the best head sculpts that they’ve made, imo. I like the smiley face contact in his right eye, the tear drop tattoo, the razor blade necklace, the awesome mohawk……just so many awesome details!

[@Jimmyfiggs23]

Probably my favorite, of the Dreadnoks, excellent figure and review.

[@Apunkwithtoys]

Thank you

[@brucelaborin2124]

Nice! I can't wait to get these Dredknoks! I pre-ordered Ripper and Buzzer. As soon as Torch is available, I'll get him too. ZARTAN and ZARANNA won't be so lonely on my shelf, for much longer.

[@Always_on_Cue]

Great review, I totally agree that weird pistol is staying in the holster. I'm definitely getting him for my collection.

[@duanemosher8798]

Sarge & Reds!!!!! Love that place. Love this Ripper figure. Just happy to be getting the Dreadnoks.

[@ljkelty1766]

Very cool! Can't wait to have the whole Drednoks gang. I hope we get Zanzibar with his skiff at some point (this would be awesome as he was the first mail away figure I bought as kid).

[@emavaz18]

The made Ripper look like he belongs in Five Finger Death Punch. I can just hear "Bad Company" playing in the background for this guy.

[@Apunkwithtoys]

👍🏼

[@NoMusicTheory]

His pistol is a Bergmann 1896... why give him one of the first semi auto pistols ever, I have no idea

[@anthonysuski9248]

Awesome brother!!! 😎 👍

[@bobbywold2311]

I'm looking forward to getting my Dreadnoks. I wouldn't say no to a set of cold slither either if Hasbro ever did that as a convention exclusive. just like I would never say no to a clear plastic version of Zartan mimicking his chameleon ability.

[@marvinonstage]

I'm getting out if the Joe line but ripper and Buzzer would work as just sone cool motorcycle gang members.

[@Apunkwithtoys]

Why are you getting out?

[@marvinonstage]

It started with NEVER being able to get the Target only Cobra Island Viper. Then I tried to get Serpentor EVERY time it went on sale and never could get it and all hasbro had to do is let the figure be on sale for a certain period of time and let everyone who wanted it could get it but they made it scarce on purpose l. But now, most of the characters that come out are characters I barely remember having or don't remember from the show. So I sold off about 90% of what I had. I'm still holding onto Crimson versions of figures like the 2 versions of the guards and the Crimsen Viper and Alley Viper because they have a more sci-fy vibe to them. But I'm dumping most of the true military figures. I might get General Hawk and Mutt and Junkyard as an excepting since General Hawk looks like he could hang with my Indiana Jones figure and I had a Mutt and Junkyard as a kid) Also on a serious note when it comes to specific Military figures my dad came back from NAM and was all PTSD out and so Military action figures were never romanticized. I grew up just hearing about the horrors of war, so military sci-fi figures were as close as I could get.

[@Apunkwithtoys]

@@marvinonstageI understand what you’re saying and I have a friend that served and he feels the same way you do about romanticizing them.

[@marvinonstage]

@Apunkwithtoys Actually I don't mind military figures at all but my dad was so "done" with military anything that I can't enjoy them quite as much as most can. BUT as I drop most of my Joe's I'm all in on the Gargoyles and have been loving tour reviews on them plus I like how NECA releases them. About one new figure every couple of months. My wallet can live with that.

[@cookingwitherik101]

Great head sculpt. Chain wallet is cool, I haven't seen that before. The original isn't that great I'm glad they modernized him.

[@joshuachristian5443]

Back in the 80s people were into exercising and being fit. Half shirts were intended to show of abdominal muscles. Same as short shorts. The athletes "racket ball" club look was in. The 90s being fat was in then being skinny n scrawny was in, hence "skinny jeans ". Now...I don't know...what were we talking about?

[@Apunkwithtoys]

You were explaining to me how you have a closet full of half shirts 😂

[@LandofMert76]

Potential to beat Zartan as my favorite

[@grrrraffe]

00:08:47 ..... outrageous! You're so wrong on this. There's nothing better than feeling a warm summer breeze caressing my big ol' beer belly when wearing a cropped t-shirt! 😡 Sweet review though!!

[@lokiwartooth1138]

Got mine today

[@Apunkwithtoys]

I think you’ll be happy.

[@MasterSkywalker86]

Oh well I mean if you think about it. It's a bit crazy to run around with Gasoline on your back Just saying. And if people want an updated Jaws of life then no a backpack isn't necessary. The only one I would have an issue with not having their pack is Torch. But for the record I'm pretty positive Hasbro will still include his fuel pack. I mean you can't use a flamethrower without that. So I'm not worried there. Torch is the only one who needs one. I never notice elbows or knees till someone says it. LOL And then I'm like whatever. I happy we are finally getting Dreadnoks. I guess Torch and Gnawgahyde are next. Dying to see what Gnawgs pet Boar is going to look like.

[@brandonr8269]

Love this figure and great review. I will say though because it's going to bother me forever, Hasbro could have done a bit more research on Ripper's jaws (spreaders) because they either don't know how the old style worked (gasoline powered hydraulic pump, as the ARAH figure had with the backpack and hydraulic fluid line - nobody would wear that as a backpack but GI Joe so it's cool because Dreadnoks are crazy MFers), or they don't know that the new style are 100% lithium-battery electric, and the body of these jaws still appear to have things like a hydraulic hose and an full exhaust system for a concrete cut off saw or gasoline leaf blower or modded 2001 Honda Civic, or...something. Still an 8/10 figure easily with a 10/10 head sculpt, just the little details are a little off.

[@Apunkwithtoys]

Again, these are just toys. GI Joe has never really been completely realistic.

[@LandofMert76]

How the hell do you get the clip to stay in. No matter which way I flip it, just just falls out.

[@Apunkwithtoys]

The thin part of the mag is supposed to be out but you’re right, it tends to fall out no matter what. I used just a little sticky tack to hold it in there. That way it won’t ruin it like glue.

[@MN-JUGGALOfam]

Does the jaws of life fit on the b.a.t.s arm?

[@stax56]

Being an in box collector is tough so I thank all of you for doing these videos to help me get through lol this is on I hope I can find cheap in the future Soni can display it. I only have 8 figures out of box on display and 1013 in box.

[@Apunkwithtoys]

But they’re so fun to open.

[@zugg1271]

the magazine would not stay in gun on mine so i glued it in

[@zugg1271]

even though i did put it in right with large end in gun

[@MayumiC-chan9377]

i’m sorry i wish they would not make the rifles so gummy

[@Tagworm03]

Whose legs are those?

[@George-de6hd]

Jersey and Baltimore 😂😂 guy is hanging in all the toilet bowls

Ohio is the only real toilet bowl I had to go through.

[@jasonmckillip5936]

My left arm is fused at the elbow, QC is getting worse with these figures

[@Apunkwithtoys]

Fuser or tight and just needs to be heated? These are 2 different things and some people don’t realize this.
