So after working with Recondo for a couple of days, I like him a little bit better. I pitched the solar panels, one bear trap and the goofy mask into the parts bin, but I have been able to make the rest of his accessories work okay.
As it was mentioned the rope attaches to the side of the trap, and the trap itself can attach via a hole on the bottom to a peg on the side of the backpack. I guess you could put both on the backpack - one attached to the rope, another attached to the peg. The axes I think were intended to store on two tiny holes on the side of his vest, via short pegs on the sides of the axes, but they don't look great stored there, they're in the way and look like he'd cut himself on them all the time. Instead, you can store the axes on the backpacks - the large holes in the axe heads fit perfectly on the ball joints for the solar panels. That way you have something for those top posts on the backpack to do. I had to put a coat of clear nail polish into his hat, but now that it's dry it fits him fine. I think the smaller rifle has a tranquilizer dart launcher instead of a grenade launcher - he has that wristband with darts, and the underslung launcher looks smaller than a usual grenade launcher. I could see Recondo using tranq darts to put out jungle fauna, or Cobra troops. I kind of like his backpack, how cobbled-together it looks with the machine parts on one vertical half, and normal gear on the other half. He's got molded rope and other details on the back-facing part of his pack, that's another nice touch. I do get a Gung Ho/Blain/Gnawgahyde vibe from the head sculpt, and I've tried on Heavy Duty's minigun to see how it looks for an easy Blain custom. Tim "toy geek" |

@Jinx723, do you have finished pics of the 7-pack Recondo you're making?
