I dig the accessories. I dig the idea of FF having gear for various mission types my one question is, why is his pack is upside down?

Thank`s sgcaper BUT if you read my post as well as look at the photos,you`ll see a link to my inspiration on the pack. Personally I like it too,stands him out. Tho as stated in my post,he wears the pack like that on the cover & in the story (link above) & i used that as base.

I actually had an idea along the same lines a while back and posted this one up. I always thought Firefly would do a lot of stuff that would require special insertions. I just started calling the figure an engineer instead of Firefly to get around the fact that I have six of them. :shifty:

Well lookie that,similar ideas. I like the concept & well upto you if you go FF or a different team. I work on the concept Firefly was highly trained in the Military. The likes of Special Forces & has worked inside most NATO units due to crosstraining they do. This makes him a Highly motivated individual who thought why the heck am I doing this for a Goverment,when more money doing it freelance. Maybe he faked his own death just to have a clean slate & no background (I don`t buy into the ninja crap).
I also believe he has several operatives all working under the Firefly guise. This gives the illiusion of the perfect freelancer for the job,as he`s always on top form & can strike ANYWHERE within a speedy timeframe.
Also helps on the HALO,Dive,vehicles etc ideas that his "team" get "Firefly" to the target & in a worse case scenario can exfil him out. Means also less reliance on COBRA to offer those modes of transport & end up loosing cash from Cobra Commander.

This is one of the best equipped customs that I have seen in a long, long time. I have always believed that a custom is not complete until it has the proper accessories and often wonder why so much attention is paid to the figure by some and then given cheese for accessories. You have absolutely done a great job of giving Firefly what he needs, it all makes sense and makes this custom rock.
