Is anyone working on gear for Classified Cobra Eels?

I see that GridIron Studios have a nice MP5SD/harpoon combo but is anyone working on a classic style back pack and harpoon gun

Damn, no UK delivery

I got the Eel kit from Mark2Design and really was impressed, but I have to admit the backpack peg snapped on me literally the first time I put it on the figure. I didn't even use pressure or try to pull it off in a hasty manner. It just cracked right off when moving the figure to display. To say I was not really disappointed was an understatement.

Maybe the plastic hadn't sat long enough and was too brittle? I don't know anything about 3D printing, maybe that isn't even something that applies to the process. I just know that the peg should not have done that so easily with such ease.

Depends on the resin. Some are flexible. Always warm it a little before trying to attach. It?s more forgiving that way .

Well I think I will put my hope into a Retro release which, like Lady Jaye, will have toy accurate accessories

Oh, man. I hate to hear that. Mine is arriving today. But thanks for the heads-up! Maybe I can be super-extra-careful.

That sucks. I've been thinking about getting that set as well. Does Gridiron have a return policy for defective items?

You should contact them for a replacement. Mine is sturdy and has no issues.

I wish I could get an eel for cheap, like $24.99. They are back on amazon, but like $64.99.
