In which direction do most people here orient Blowtorch's backpack? The arch support on the pack suggests that the nozzle portion should be at the top, but that makes connecting the flamethrower hose to it effectively impossible.
If you turn it upside down, the hose connects easily, but the arch support is in the wrong place and it looks weird for half the backpack to hang down over the figure's butt.
The card art supports the nozzle-down orientation, and the "geared up" photos on both YoJoe and 3DJoes pose him that way, but that has always looked
wrong
to me.
Is this just a design error in the backpack? Zandar's arrow quiver also seems to have the wrong arch support orientation.
Also, does anyone happen to have a spare Blowtorch facemask you might trade for another needed accessory? I painted the visor portion of mine silver when I was a kid and have come to regret that over the years.
