Firefly - Comic pack / battle pack hybrid?

Hi Everyone,

I was wondering if anyone has tried making a hybrid Firefly out of the Comic pack and TRU exclusive battle pack versions? I'm thinking about getting the battle pack if I can find one. I was wondering what it would look like to have the web gear from the battle pack on the comic pack figure. Anyone got pics to share?

I actually think it could look pretty good since the web gear is brown and the comic pack has brown accents that would match. I prefer the darker gray colors on the comic pack version, over the blue-ish version that you get in the "vs. Joe Troopers" battle pack.

Hope someone has some pics to share...

Thanks,

Snake

I mixed the CP with the single carded version.The harness and gun holster off of V1 FF and put it on the cp version.

That's what I did on mine as well. Looks much nicer with the darker colors.

I took the comic pack firefly, jettisoned the vest, stole beach head's vest, threw it on firefly, stole snake-eyes' explosives pouch, tossed it on firefly, gave him a few extra guns, drilled a tiny hole in his head, gave him commando snakes' night vision gear.

He is now the ultimate Firefly.

I will post pics soon.

I finally found a the Battle Pack at Toys R Us, and took a pick of the proposed Hybrid.

I think it may be a good option for people like me who never got the V1 figure. I may choose to paint his belt. The Comic Pack version of the figure has an unpainted molded belt because of course he also includes an additional belt. I may also choose to paint the blue pouches and gun, and maybe phone black.

I do like how the brown on his bandoleer matches the brown on his leg holsters. Overall it's a big improvement over the blue-ish version that comes with the Battle Pack.
