...the stock on Helix's rifle is just too damn long! It's longer than Longcat! (and nothing should ever be that long!) She can't properly hold the damn thing. I don't know if Hasbro made it out of scale, or if it's just that cumbersome in real life, but Hasbro has just been dropping the friggin' ball on almost every rifle included with every RoC figure. All the stocks are too big to accomodate a 4" figure. And if they're wearing armor or a vest, then forget about it!
It's annoying, because Helix is one of my fav figures so far. She is absolutely made of plastic win and is by far the best female figure so far of the movie line, but her accessories suck! I have her with a Steyer AUG now (yeah, I know, it's a 30yr old gun, but it still looks like something out of the future!) until I get some more P-90s, Famas, and SA80s, ALL of which she looks beautiful holding. I still don't know what to do to properly arm the blattara (cockroach) vipers. Any suggestions? Longcat is very long. |

Is that the gun that appears to be a recast of the gun that came with Headman?
Longcat looks ready to unleash some Sith lightning there. If you will not be turned, you will be destroyed. |

My Helix is rockin the dual pistols. Rifle went into my 'Armory' along with all the extra weapons that cant be stowed/sheathed/holstered and those damn RoC spring bazookas. Cept for TRU Fireflys RPG, which is pretty fresh.

Oooo... I found the gun Helix's is based on. Wish they had pics of someone holding it so I could see the scale.
HK G11 rifle Modern Firearms - Assault Rifles - HK G11 Damn! And it's almost as old as the Steyer! Maybe Marauder John could make one better scaled for figures? |

And acccording to the art you can find with a quick google image search.
Mine is sporting dual pistols as well. Double fistin' um John Woo style. She looks magnificent with them. (( Well the one I opened. I've got another MIB and a few stashed at target if I decide to pick them up later)

And I lost one of them right out of the package. ;_;
Looking for suitable replacements now. Might custom a couple SOCOM pistols into something similar. Got her doing this last night with the Microman dio accessories that hold the figure in midair. |
