I recently seen a "Arise,Serpentor,Arise" DVD pack at retail and I was wondering what's the scenario with Dusty's supposed web gear. The one I found, he doesn't have any web gear on but on the back of the box it shows him with some. So does anyone know if he really is supposed to come with it? Is it maybe in the box? Is Hasbro actually going to ship out corrected packs with the web gear??

Mine didn't have web gear either. I bought a comic pack SE & SS for customs and gave the web gear to Dusty

yep it appears about 25-50% of packs have a dusty sans webgear

Hasbro answered this during the last QnA. The factory missed adding them to quite a few Dusty figures, and since the manufacturing run is done, there really isn't a recourse other than trying to trade it back in where you bought it for replacement.
Since so many were missing, I went ahead and made a mold for it and will make replacement parts available very shortly. They won't be exact color matches, but if you want that they are easily paintable. *EDIT* BTW, my set was missing the harness as well. I had to talk my business partner out of one of his extras which he kindly donated to the cause. Last edited by Alyosha; 01-04-2009 at 01:29 PM.. |

Luckily enough the one I found had his webgear. The sad part of this story though, if you read the Hasbro q&a's from last month the big H plans to do nothing about it for those of you who got suck with a harnessless dusty.

Mine had none either; currently I have him wearing the webgear from DVD Pack Stalker; it matches his basic colors pretty well and allows for a sidearm, though you have to remove his jacket-skirt to put it on.

Yeah, hit or miss. I found both on the shelves before the holidays. Aly hit it on the head.

I've been aware of that happening, thats why I wouldn't order this set online, and wanted to check it in person if it had the straps or not. I hadn't seen any with the harness at retail, but I finally found one like last week. So I'm glad my patience paid off.
