Question for those who have opened their 2-pack Dreadnok Ripper: Is his chest swivel super loose? Looks like it's a new mold chest, anyone figured out how to tighten it? His web gear also seems like it would be kind of hard to take off. I can't find a fastener on it...
Also these Dreadnoks are the 1st 25th figs I opened that can look up and down no problem.
Another question...is the holster on Torch's thigh supposed to hold the gas tank? I guess so...

battle packs

ive always found the quality to be inferior to single carded figs. and pack-ins.
same may be for these. | |

Regarding your other question, I think the holster has to be for the blowtorch gun (notice the hook at the top of it where it can catch on the holster), as the Ripper gun accessory seems, to me, to have been placed where it is in the pack for space reasons, I'm pretty sure Hasbro knew that it wasn't Torch's, and Torch doesn't have any other weapons I don't think, so. . .
I realized that he would have a hard time holding his weapon, however (because of the plastic cable part that would make it difficult to fit correctly in his hand), so I just left it attached to his hand with the little rubber band thing.
Yesterday I picked up the three comic packs from waves 1 and 2 that I wanted (Hawk and Scarlett, the Dreadnoks, and Breaker and Destro), and I think that their quality is really on par with the other, previous releases (and actually far better than that of the cheap looking Serpentor).
My only issues are that Hawk's head seems a little. . .off, and Ripper has similar problems, as his glasses aren't even painted all the way, and his face just looks weird (though his torso appears to be the only new body mold of the bunch, which is a plus). Overall though, these are great additions to my armies! | |

That's how his gun attaches to his holster. I did the hose mod too and it's a lot better. Also both my Noks are pretty tight. I'm not a fan of how soft their hands are though, they don't like to hold weapons very well.
