Anyone remove the tactical vest from clutch and reuse it on another figure. I thought it came off. But it doesn't seem to have any removable shoulder harness???

I think it's non removable, but I'm going to exacto all the pouches off and kit bash clutch and the tan 3 pack beachhead from the 3 pack, think it will work?

I just took mine apart. It will come off. It has two flat L shape post that go into the right side of the body. A V shape post that goes into the front of the body and the back part is glued to two square post on the back of the body. the only thing that suck is the shoulder straps are molded to the body. I hope this helps

Use a small flathead screwdriver and the vest comes off easily.
Help along a little in the back.
The vest is perfect if you want individual pouches or if you want to slap it in a female figure.
You will have to put shoulder straps on it, though.

Retaliation Clutch...sounds like a wrestling move.

But honestly haven't even seen the thing on shelves yet.

Thanks for the responses. That's pretty much what I thought. I was just afraid to pry too hard. Not sure how to make straps. Is there a tutorial on joe customs?

Ok got mine off the body. The glue destroyed the body. Thank goodness it's only got the five points of articulation or I would be really frustrated right now. The pouches and vest details are awesome. I really wish it had straps!!!

As someone who desperately wants this figure, it makes me sad to see people butchering him like that, lol.

Sorry. I felt really bad doing it. I love the head sculpt, but feel like its not meeting it's true potential on a 5-point body!!!

Before you dispose off the vest-hess, headless body: cut off the pockets, hands and boots.
The are nicely sculpted and can always be used at a later date.
This Clutch is a cool parts kit.
