I'm sure they are rare because people in the know are buying the good ones and returning the bads. I know that's what I'd do. I've already done that for the Lady Jaye dvd that had a crappy paint job and two vehicle sets with drivers with Duke arms. Needless to say, my collection is more attractive because of it.
Yeah, I'm gonna return one set without Dusty's straps. I'll tell them I'm returning it because it is missing parts. I wouldn't have to resort to that if Hasbro was willing to send this frequently missing part to customers. |

Man, I feel lucky. Not only does my Alpine have his backpack, but Cobra Commander's head doesn't have any obvious flws in the visible part of the crhome, and I can turn his head. (I did sand the neck ball down a bit, because it was awefull tight.) Probably gonna glue his helmet on, though.
Mine has his pick axe in the backpack clip, the grappling hook in hand, and a temproary .45 in the clip on his leg. I'll eventually be upgrading him to either a Marauder .45 or MP7. The rifle is in a bag full of unused accessories, because I hate those stupid laser rifles. I want to find a good source of chord similar to what's on the grappling hook, and replace that with a much longer piece. Probably won't be tieing it to the pick axe, though. I'm also thinking about modifying a rifle, into his old grappling rifle. I've got a Marauder M14 that donated it's barrel to make a long barreled EBR. That should make a good base. |

I just pulled my Apline off the shelf to see if I could figure out how this is supposed to attach to the end of the standard Joe rifle. Can you by any chance please explain this a bit better and or (the more preferred) provide a pic of how it attaches? I can't seem to get my to do it without stretching the eye hook (where the line attaches).
Thank you! |

You can see how the hook attaches to the gun in the review.
http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...ra-review.html I'm just curious how the gun hooks on to his belt.

No pics (I'm at work right now), but it's pretty simple. the end of the rifle has a sight raised on the tip of the barrel. The slot on the grapple slides right over it. make sure the rope isn't in the way. I don't know if the grapple hook was designed intentionally by Hasbro for this, but it works pretty well for me.
