After opening my Airborne figure, I had the hardest time getting his backpack to go onto the figure. After far too much time of trying, I shaved off a bit of the peg with a exacto knife. I'm not cool destroying part of something I just bought, but I'd like the backpack to fit on him, which it then did. Anyone else have the same issue?

All you have to do is heat up the vest a little and move it into a better position to line up with the back peg hole.

I had the very same problem and was annoyed by the fact that it didn't want to go in properly. But other then that I love the figure very cool looking. I am glad they gave him the 25th treatment

Yes. It's a very tight fit. You have to make sure the vest hole and back hole are ligned up perfectly, then when you push in the backpack peg make sure you push down at an angle into the holes instead of straight into the back hole.

I just took a small screw driver and used it to line up the vest and back holes. Really wasn't much effort involved.

My problem is I can't find him. I've found multiples (at least 2-4 in the wild) of Eels, Flint, Zartan, and Trakker, especially Scarlett...but not 1 Airborne. WEIRD.
I actually thought I mixed up wave 11 and wave 12, but nooooooo. Last edited by pig iron grenadier; 12-07-2008 at 02:47 PM.. |

I have opened two; no problems with the first, but did have to do a quick shave for the second.
