After the debacle which destroyed a major part of the G.I. J.O.E. force, General Joe Colton called upon some retired Joes. One of these old geezers was Owen Cain, Codename RIDGEBACK. Therefore, Ridgeback is an original character, an off-screen character in the Retaliation storyline. I dig the Retaliation driver figure headsculpt and have 3 of them, so I made Ridgeback in 3 different versions.
This is one:
The basic figure for this version is the Retaliation GI JOE Trooper in the tan version. The lower legs came off a Steel Brigade Delta, the chest webbing is from a Retaliation 3-pack Snake Eyes with the useless support straps cut off. I cut the gunbelt off the webbing of the Retaliation Trooper and glued the right hand holster of a Movie Avengers Black Widow on. The pistol is a ROC FN, the sniper rifle is from the Retaliation Trooper.
