I decided to make a start on him and ended up almost finishing him despite some major frustration in the middle.
I spent ages trying to get the front suspender straps short enough so they'd hook onto the belt at the right height, and failed. I had to fudge it and tuck the straps down unconnected. Even if I could've shortened them enough there's no guarantee they'd have stayed hooked in because they kept falling out during testing.
Managed to get the rear straps right, and since they have spring clips, as the real thing does on the back, they're secure.
Everything slid onto the belt with loops apart from the four water bottles, which had to be fastened with sliding ALICE clips. Haven't had to do them since the Ace Vietnam girls .
The Ujindou actually felt like it might've been an Ace figure due to the quality of most of the parts.
I gave him the Hot Toys DX11 Joker Smith & Wesson M76, so I could give his Grease Gun to the Ujindou Big Red One. (The Big Red One gave his Thompson to the Ujindou Chindit, which was a massive upgrade to the Hot Toys Captain America version he was using).
