he was stalker back then. and yes. but here it's upside down and on the wrong side.:
https://www.3djoes.com/stalker-v2.html (i hate the drop down menus on this website, i went to yojoe.com first hoping it was there but they didnt have a pic of it on display) i've always wondered how they expect him to carry the kayak on his back like a backpack with out backpack straps; and pretend it's not just some super over cumbersome boat that no human alive carries in such a way if they are expected to have a low profile.

Always assumed it was supposed to help keep the kayak from flipping whenever he fires the gun.

I think you're talking about an outrigger? I don't have the original figure, but it probably kept the kayak upright in the bathtub.

im not a kayakksman, but i googled "outrigger" when i was trying to find that picture in my last comment. it could be called anything for all i care. i dont even know what this thread is about anymore.
3d joes has it upside down and the ui for the website is frustrating. im glad i didnt go there to post my findings via phone, because holy shit. those drop down menus are shit. |
