Question: what are you supposed to do with the Exo-Suit Universal Accessory Mounts? I was under the impression there was a socket on the "fat" end (for mounting, say, a machine gun or grenade launcher), but there isn't--just a plug on the opposite end. What all can fit onto that plug?
Also, you guys have any luck with the cigarette cartons? I was trying to put the decal onto one of the red-and-white cartons, but the decal was too big to wrap around properly and didn't bond well at all. I wound up having to cut it up into panels and superglue them on. Which turned out...acceptable, I guess, but not as well as I hoped and was kind of time-consuming.

The new 'Nam KS update is pretty cool. Glad we finally got a pic of the 3D digital model of the Jet Pilot.
I guess I didn't realize that the two WW2 figures would also have the updated articulations. I wonder if this is a design feature that MJ plans to apply to the previous MTF figures. I kind of doubt it, but MJ seems to be full of surprises. Jason |

Also, the universal mounts were originally released alongside the exo-suits years before the android trooper arms were made, so it wasn't really made "for" the androids per se, though it will plug into their alternate arms.

They did say at the time (when the exosuits were released) that the mounts were being included for implementation of future products, however.

Also, I got my Wolf Gunner today, and it looks like Marauder eventually switched over to a stiffer grade of plastic for the shoulder pads. They plug in quite a bit easier than the older ones did. I really don't use the shoulder pads much, so I have no idea how recently that was changed.

^^^ I have built a ton of Exo-Suit figures... In my experience the Exo-Suit Universal Mounts work with nothing. Some use them as pretend Exo-Suit laser pistols, but they are pretty much useless for their intended descriptive purpose.
