Thanks for tip. I do customize, but I am not confident enough in my dremeling abilities to give that a try. If they ever go on clearance or hit a Pulse sale, I will def pick up another and try that out.

My Amazon Firefly says it doesn't ship until November. Boo.

Walmart still hasn't shipped my Big Ben. Double Boo.

I just got the Pulse shipping notice for Range-Vipers and Big Ben. I know some others had mentioned here that they got charged awhile ago and hadn't heard anything more. So expect those shipping notices soon!

Did I just somehow drop it or did Tiger Force Flint not come with that big knife? I may have lost it when tearing open the egg roll wrapper for his gear.

I'm so into this Big Ben figure, especially without the chest bullets and upgraded gear: MP-5 and satchel.

Does anyone Need a Big Ben? I opened mine, posed him and tied him back in his little coffin tray and back in the box he went. I just don't dig him. No nostalgia in the character.

Anyway. 100% complete. Perfect paint. He's $28 plus shipping which is what I paid. PM me if interested.

That's a cool pic. Welcome to the Ye Olde Tank of Hiss.

i was thinking, this is for anyone with a 3d printer. would it be possible to print exact copy's of the gummy weapons that wont bend? and second would it work with packs?

My only gripe with this figure is that the backpack peg doesn't want to stay in his back. It squeezes itself out of the hole after a few seconds. I wish they had devised a better way to attach backpacks to these figures. Most of the time, they stay in fine. But there have been a few figures now where that peg just squeezes itself out.

I have found the backpacks to be consistently one of the most frustrating experiences with these figures, since day 1. My Low Light?s backpack wasn?t that bad; it seems his peg is bigger. What might be helping too is that he doesn?t all the excess straps and what not that bulge in the back and interfere with a backpack, like Tunnel Rat. Not sure what the solution is but they had a consistently great solution way back in 1982!!

Adding to the frustration is if you are trying to pose a figure and contending with stuck or wobbly joints, difficulty keeping a figure upright even with stands, and trying to situate both hands on a rifle. If that backpack pops off, getting it back on almost always undoes any of these other challenges too.

You could print everything if you had the STL files. Without those you'd have to recreate everything. That'd take herculean effort.
