If you're like me, and I know you are, your Dusty has missing straps/webgear for his backpack. Being rational people, we know that a backpack must be fastened to the body via some sort of harness method, and that in real life, backpacks don't just attach to you via a pop-can sized hole in your spine.
Here's a simple solution for fixing that: We all know and love Marauder weapons. Next time you place an order for some guns, add a backpack to your purchase. Marauder's backpack has flexible straps that fit snugly around the arms of any Joe you attach it to, and in this case this backpack closely resembles the one that comes with Dusty. BTW: This post isn't endorsed by Marauder, Inc. I'm just a very avid fan! |

Great idea... Just went to Marauders and bought one. Wish I had thought of this sooner. Not like he needs the straps when he's not wearing his pack...

I've got plenty of those PTE backpacks laying around, that's a great idea!

Looks pretty cool like that. Excellent improvement.

Hmm thats funny, I just looked at my Dusty and he has pack straps. Came that way. Did some of them not come with straps?

These backpacks came with some World Peacekeeper figures too. They are pretty tight too but I don't know if I am too enthused about using them with my Joes. I will have to open Dusty and see what I got with my pack.
