the only two things Im not crazy about are the proton streams (wish they were translucent like Mattys did theirs) and the thin cord that connects the pack to the gun. other then that, these are a home run. but then again these are prototypes, so we could see things change between now and when they are released. I hope the proton packs look more like their movie counterparts, I never cared for the ones on the 6" Matty figures.
I don’t think the packs/belt will be fully removable per say. I have a Diamond Select Captain America from the Winter Soldier movie and his belt is on the figure loosely as a separate piece so that it doesn’t completely hinder the articulation. I feel like the packs and belt will be the same.
I dunno, man. Those straps look pretty roomy. Looks like you could easily slip the straps over the shoulders to get the pack off if the belt strap isn’t permanently fixed.
But I agree, the rest of the gear looks attached except for the MT500.
These look pretty good, was considering picking up the Matty ones from Ebay but these will probably be better waiting for as they should be readily available from Forbidden Planet, Amazon UK etc.
By the looks of it Ray has a trap holster, wonder if they will somehow let you hook on a trap? I don’t mind the Lifeguards, I wonder if that truly is a gaff from the films or if its been added as many cosplayers wear them with their both the GB1 and GB2 suits.
They seem to be using the aftermarket/Rothco LC-1 design as reference for the ALICE frames, mainly with the color, upper webbing connection, and waist strap buckle.
Weren’t the Matty prototype streams solid color as well and then translucent upon release?
I think these figures look phenomenal and every time I look at these pictures I get more excited for their release, but I did notice 2 mistakes in the above picture though 1) the leg hose seems to connect to the proton pack and 2) there appears to be a hose missing from the back of the pack. But seeing as these are just prototypes of what DST is offering up, those 2 things could be very well be fixed before the official release.
