    Made a new custom today, Jim Hopper as a Joe, alias: Flipside. Used Marvel Legends MCU Red Guardian head, Classified Flint body and Action Force Riot Gear pack. Had to modify the head to make it work

    I can't believe how loose they are. There's literally no friction holding them in place

    I wrapped a black wire tie around his entire backpack…they wouldn’t stay in for shit…. It’s one of those two-wire wire ties…actually doesn’t look too bad, IMO…

    Good idea. Probably works better than the prayer I say as I gently put Major Bludd back into position in the display.

    Little more work and you could have a custom Robo from the Fwoosh.

    Lol…yeah. It’s unfortunate they released the thing like that given how awesome the rest of the figure is. Thinking about it, just about all of the issues I’ve had with Classified figures have been backpack related.

    I don’t bother with most of the backpacks. Except for the Bat. That one is great

    Same here. I wanted to be able to reliably store the rockets on the pack, though. I think Scarlett and the BATs are the only ones I tend to keep backpacks on full-time.

    Wait, I'm still trying to figure out how to keep Gung-Ho's extra rifles attached to his backpack. They're constantly falling off and under the sofa. Do you mean I may never get those to stay put?

    Firefly's backpack has been solid even with all his gear on there. Same goes for Beachhead.

    I haven't had any issues with Lady Jaye's pack. Everything stays in place just fine. None of my other figures have come with one. But then, I don't have most of them lol.

    Firefly's has been fine...I just don't think I've had his on him most of the time. And, I think I've only had Gung-Ho's on him once. He just doesn't look right with a backpack to me. I had a hell of a time getting Beachhead's to stay on...so I leave it off.

    I’m beginning to add Future to the backpack pegs in hopes that it creates enough tension to hold in place better. Seems to help a good bit so far.

    I drove a small nail through the center of the peg in Beachhead's pack in an attempt to expand the peg a bit. It did help, but I probably need to expand it a bit more. It seems like I had issues with the backpacks on a couple or few of the early figures. It's a bit of a head scratcher for me.
