Well I for one was Not a Fan of the vest Hasbro gave FF.
Did not fit the character at all. He is a Saboteur, which means Infiltrating locations. So first thing was remove the vest and throw it away. Next made a Cloth vest with working ammo pouches, chest holster and scabbard with removable knife. I Also made him his backpack with Cloth straps. The Back compartment opens up for more explosives and tools to be accessed. Also Upgraded his wrists. I Have no idea why Hasbro still does it's hands this way. However the full rotating Wrist pegs most brands are using now are so much better. So added a pair of Mezco Wrist pegs (NO Mods required). Then New hands from Mezco too. Makes a Huge difference in weapon holding for him now. Last edited by Stonewall; 02-14-2021 at 06:14 AM.. |

Nice. I don't like his original vest either. It's too bulky.

Yeah, wearing part of a bomb disposal suit isn't really going to help you if you end up accidentally blowing off your arms in enemy territory. It's certainly not going to help you sneak around in enemy territory.

You do Not see Beachhead or Hit n Run etc wearing quasi EOD armour whilst they infiltrate enemy territory to plant explosives. Was always unsure of the bandoleer tbh from the 3 3/4 V1 figure. However even hasbro finally started to give 4inch FF a tactical vest. |

Thanks for sharing these ideas Stonewall. You put a lot of work into that vest. I love seeing this exploration. And about the Mezco wrists, what is it about the original wrists that you wanted to change? I've never had a Mezco figure, and I haven't bought many Classified figures yet, so I don't know the difference.
