Here’s a couple of guys I’ve had sitting here for a while. Recoil was another figure I loved when I got him as a kid, even if his outfit meant he got used as a Russian more often than not. I opted out of using the head cast I got with his weird bed pan helmet in favor of giving him an OD Ranger cap, it seems to fit the character better. I’m saving that head for Forca Fera Tigor. The webbing might be the first cast part I’ve ever received I wasn’t super happy with, it is super soft so it ripped twice putting it on (it’s glued to the torso now) and doesn’t hold paint too well. Not really a complaint, everything else I’ve gotten from Ragin Spoon has been top notch. I may try modding a vintage Recoil backpack for himif I can get one cheaply.
Recoil: AVACS Lifeline head cast and cap, 50th Falcon torso and radio pack, POC Steel Brigade arms, Kmart ROC Desert Duke legs, Ragin Spoon webbing, Marauder M16/M203, Vintage Recoil claymore case Backblast: 25th Mutt head, Retaliation Roadblock body, 50th Dusty Helmet and goggles, Marauder webbing and knife, 25th M-16, BBI Stinger, Vintage Backblast Thales Javelin LML modded with pieces from 30th Viper missile launcher, T-shirt graphic decal from Bad Mother Customs

Thanks! The real life one has a similar mount.

Great job on the camo! I love the copper rings on the claymore mine pack. And all the other little attentions to detail. Backblast's missile mount is excellent.
So that Recoil webgear didn't have a snap? I got an Ice Cream Soldier webgear recently from Raginspoon which too did not have a snap, and I was wondering how I was going to get it onto the figure. It doesn't feel quite as soft as you describe the Recoil gear to be, though.

Thanks! There was a snap. The webbing was just very soft and had a few airholes in the wrong spots I think. It ripped as I was fiddling to get it adjusted. I’ve gotten other web gear from RS with zero problems, and this set has been sitting in a fodder drawer for a couple years.
