Filecard Information
Birthplace: Grim Cape, Tasmania
Variations
There are two versions of Ripper's filecard.
One version of the filecard says, He is a professional cirminal motivated by greed and a malignant dislike for the niceties of civilization -- except for motorcycles.. The other version of the filecard does not have the "-- except for motorcycles" text.
Body Construction
Ripper's body is completely original - all new body parts.
Note that Ripper's head only turns left and right - it does not have the head "ball" that allowed a figure's head to swivel back and forth. Other figures from this series had the new head "ball." It's clear that this figure was designed in 1984.
International Variants
In India, two versions of Ripper were released - one version had a green shirt with purple spots, while the other version had a purple shirt.
