Its it me or is this weapon a complete waist of time. I'm going Crazy, is there no way to get him to hold his weapon correctly? Just seems like such a waist.
Great figure even without it but the team should have molded it to fit.

Personally, it just seems to be on a totally different scale than 1:18

His mounted weapons are fine. If you really need him to hold a P-90, just get one accurately scaled from Marauder John.

The one thing that always gets my nerd anger up is weapons that dont fit figures and weapons shown in the art that are not included with the figure.

i gave him the arm blade, easy to do, i guess his arm blasters fire non-lethal rounds. as shown in #32 thats cool. his p-90 will never fit in his hands though

I mount my P90 using the tab between his backpack & back.
But this figure is riddled with problems. The non-hand-held gun is just one of them. |

It seems to me that hasbro has a flaw in their design process when it comes to weapons. They don't fit with action figures and they're defective. Here's a couple of examples:
Viper - We all know about Viper Arms. They suck as far as holding his weapon. However, the bigger part of the error for me is the fact that his vest is too bulky to allow him to hold the rifle the way a soldier ought to hold it. Big Flaw. Ripper - I have to say the weapons are less superior to the vintage weapons. Take Ripper. The tube that connects the jaws to the generator pack is very cheap and doesn't hold. The jaws don't even grip on the generator pack the way they should and the frame of the generator pack comes loose. There's plenty of other examples. However, these are two that really piss me off. F-Hasbro!

The first thing I noticed with this figure when I opened it was how HUGE the P90 is.
Actually, there have been a couple of misgivings when it comes to weapons, in my opinion. The Cobra Divers should have come with spear guns and I would much rather have had cqb weapons with the Nightwatch sets. |
