The sword/scabbard are from a knockoff deadpool from 12 years ago and the pack itself is from a mcfarlanes military figure , its the leg pack with his kit in it, it was green originally i believe its from either the ranger or the marine sniper . I dremeled out the back of the pack long ways so it would have a channel for the scabbard to fit into painted the sword fitted a backpack peg from an extra tf outback painted it and there you go when i get home tonight ill post pics of the Actual work side of it ,You can find em on ebay usually for less than $10 i had bought almost the whole set plus doubles from the andersons general store back in ohio 16 years ago or so for a $1 a piece so i stripped all the parts guns salvageable straps etc off of them and threw them in a box for later ive been dipping in that box fro years now im a fodder whore .
it looks a lot better than jinx?s backpack on him and that lazy snake eyes movie sword/scabbard on her or him .. i previously had painted the custom backpack grey but it didnt look right so i repainted it black .

Hope this helps

I had a big issue with the Recon Diver and his pistol with suppressor. Since they were packaged together, getting the gun out, without snapping off the suppressor peg, was nerve-wracking. I ended up breaking the plastic tray.

The Flagg, Terror Drome, and Defiant would definitely get buyers as HasLabs, I bet, at O-ring scale. Not sure where I would put them exactly but I?m the same: always wanted these but not able to shill out the thousands to get them in good condition (and continue to feed my family, anyway).

I didn't order this one from Pulse and was gonna pass until it went on sale, so I've got a pending charged for it, but still has not shipped. Website shows delivery 7/16, so fingers crossed, but if I don't get it I won't be heartbroken. And if the HASLAB is for sure the Rattler, then since I am passing on that, may go ahead and order the STINGER from AMAZON.

We are going to have to start using the boil/pop method to get the figures out of the plastic soon, they are tight. I thought I was going to snap Torch's pistols in half.

If only Hasbro had figured out away to remove figures with minimum effort and waste....

Mid August in Charleston, huge rainstorm knocks down a giant tree at the end of our street, no power in the house from 10AM until 4:30AM the next day, power company keeps saying only another hour or so from 1PM until 4:30. No breeze and 97* with 85% humidity, it got to 96* in the house. Pretty sure I almost died that day. Hope you got thru all of that storm okay in Houston.
