So I've been reading how people had a hard time getting the backpack on. Took a little force, but didn't have any problems. Now I'm wondering... how the hell do I get this thing off without breaking it? I think the battery compartment is on the inside. Any videos of someone completing this feat?!
I don't have the full figure yet, but i have a few of the back packs for customs. You want a pic of the backpack on the inside to know where to use force?
 
I found a video where I saw the reviewer plug it on and I reversed the process. Basically pulling really hard upward. I'm afraid this will scratch the paint over time, but at least it comes off. Thanks for the offer though.
 
Wasn't expecting this in the UK for a while yet but I got my dispatch notification from Collectibles Direct today - should be with me tomorrow. Hurrah!

:yess: Congrats - Falcon is an awesome figure and is well worth the wait! :)
 
Mine shipped today.
In the meantime, i also received some parts to make the first custom i had in mind. Falcon in his original Flight Gear.
I also did some work on a spare pair of wings today. There are little checks that keep the wings from moving too far. I removed these and they allow the wings to stretch higher. There is a gap, but that can be filled. I will continue working on it.
Here are the pics.

That looks great! Any chance if I send you a set of wings you could work on them for me? I got so many projects right now, plus building a new workshop/studio I just don't think I can do another project anytime soon. I would like to do the classic red costume version. Thanks either way!
 
Heck yeah!!! I knew there had to be a way to do it, I just don't have the figure yet. Definitely coming back to this page when I get mine.

In the mean time, here are a couple of better pics of my Son and I at Wondercon last weekend. :)

Your costumes look great. I bet having you as a dad would be fun. Your son is lucky.

Great pics, Shawn. Gavin's wings turned out very nice. Is it magnets in them to keep them in the up position?



Nice job on the custom USERNAME. Looks great! Love the work the wings!


Thanks a lot. I am hoping to be able to get some action shots of him today.
 
Very nice, it looks really good :clap but its Username so thats to be expected :lol

Thanks.

Wow i gota have this, looks great were can i get that suit or what is it called?


It's the Easy And Simple Jason Youngblood Z.E.R.T. Deathridge BDU set.
Pretty expensive to buy on their own.
This is the figure it comes on: Monkey Depot - Boxed Figure: Easy & Simple Z.E.R.T Jameson "Youngblood" Deathridge (XP001)


Also, did a little bit of customisation at work this morning.
Well, a couple of hours worth, lol.
BEHOLD!
A lot more accurate.

Yes, Rare Earth magnets about the size of a US Quarter on the backpack and on each wing. Works perfectly to hold them up, and then he can pretty easily dislodge them to put the wings down when he wants to.

Really really happy with how it all came out. But we left his grey camo pants at home. So don't look at the pants. :slap

Lol. It looks great to me.
That looks amazing. Great job. :clap

Thanks.
 
Those customs jobs are amazing... putting HT to shame really.
On another note, I almost get this guy for like $215 but then thought to myself; see how many Captains, WM, Black Widows, etc HT keeps making? Well, I am sure Falcon will be available AGAIN for Civil War. Might as well wait for it since it might not change much.

Might even be available for AOU...
