Can someone tell me if the Vintage backpacks will fit modern 25th + peg holes? I want to get some different packs and Accessories for my team but don't want to have to rework them to fit.
Also, Has anyone ordered from JoeArmory.com? Is it a respectable vendor? Thanks |

They do not fit. You have to mod them.
Here's a sample of what I did to make Shockwave's fit on the 25th one. and Mainframe:

They will not fit. Vintage holes are about 2/8", much larger becaue it was also big enough for the screws. 25-current are about 1/8".

Thank you very much for the pics ^_^ I guess it wont be too hard to mod them. What're you using as a replacement peg?
One other thing, Since I do not own any older figures I cant tell if the heads are different sizes. Will older helmets fit newer figures? I'm trying to get Mich style helmets like the one that came with my POC general Hawk or the slightly larger one that came with POC dusty. I could cast them but I'd rather just buy them. Thank you for the Help ^_^ |

Most vintage helmets are too large for current heads. It is on a case by case basis though as I use a vintage Charbroil helmet on my Charbroil custom, but one of the only modern heads that would fit it properly is 25th Breaker's. If you have a 25th Breaker head, that one is similar to vintage size as well as his helmet.
As for the replacement peg, I use the pen ink holders. I just cut it off after the pen is out of ink.
