I wasn't crazy about Alpine as a character and figure, but his submachine gun was awesome so I used it for some other characters that might be in close-quarters battle.

I upgrade the weapons on some of my figures. For example: I have about 20 25th Anniversary Snow Serpents that I upgraded with a wrapped pulse rifle and ice ax so that they are equipped to the same standard as my ROC Snow Serpent units. Conversely, one ROC Snow Serpent in five is equipped with a 25th Anniversary Snow Serpent missile launcher (same as my 25th Anniversary unit). All of my Snow Serpent Officers also have an ice ax now along with an MP5. All of my Arctic Tele-Vipers have the same pulse rifle as my other arctic troops.
I never really cared for the rifles that equip the ROC Desert Vipers, so they were all swapped out with BAT bullpup rifles (which is in reality a South African Vektor CR-21 assault rifle). I had originally given them HK rifles, but after their poor performance in Afghanistan, I replaced them with the Vektors. All of my Elite Vipers have HK rifles to match the Elite Vipers in the movie. I still keep the original gear so I can return them to their original appearance. |

One piece of gear I've changed out for just about every character except the POC Crimson Guards are any rifle where the magazine/clip sits behind the trigger (similar to the SA80). It's an aesthetics thing for me. I just do not like the way they look.

I'm just placing another order with Marauder Inc. and got to thinking that most of my modern figures original weapons and accessories are sitting in my parts bins, unused. I know having all original weapons and accessories is important to some collectors. Do you keep your figures complete with all of their original weapons and accessories, or swap them out with gear from Marauder Inc, Boss Fight, or other toy lines?
