I've had this Firefly for ages but some recent additions to him made me want post him. This is mostly to show off his kit/accessories. I only did about 5 mods to the Comic-Pack Firefly. Most important, shorten his boots and neck. Next replace his mediocre molded belt and add kneepads. All other mods to him are minimal. I wanted to stay close to the original (hence the added wrist knife) but I wanted to incorporate the chest holster from that purple Barney-fly. So here he is:
Loaded for bear. Everything fits snug and is held in place securely. He's got his CQC AK-47, Night Vision Goggles, Grenade Launcher, Bolt Cutters, etc. His wrist computer for bypassing security systems is removable, as is the knife and knife sheath on his right arm. Close up of the Chest Holster Traded the flashlight for rope and the gas can for space deemed "mission specific" I fitted a piece of thin foam in there to keep things from jostling around. I've included a pic with Baroness and Major Bludd (below) for height comparison. He's not short but still a good bit shorter than out of the package. Baroness is just trimmed hair for more head movement, ROC Baroness sunglasses, and Blackwidow arms on a 25th Baroness. My Baroness came with a dark-red, almost black, COBRA Emblem, which I kind of like. I'll post Major Bludd tomorrow, but I'm not nearly done with the other guy.

I am IN LOVE with this Firefly! All of the extra accessories look fantastic on him! The best part is how despite all of the extra gear, he doesn't look too bulky, or have anything protruding too much.

I always liked that particular Firefly's color scheme and he looks badass with the extra gear.

These look great man. Its funny because the title of this thread made me think of garfield and friends theme. That could be a new cartoon....with firefly and friends constantly trying to kill binky the clown.

The additional accessories/vest/NVG make this figure look 10x better than he originally looked! The vest makes his torso thicker, which I think helps. And the addition of the turned down hood on the vest adds a cool aspect to him as well! The knife and the keypad on the arms are inspired, and give a more serious look to this already most dangerous of characters. Nice mods to the backpack, too. BTW, where are the NVGs from? I can't place them...
