Try putting it in upside down barrel first with the strap around the right shoulder. It seems like that would be right position if he had to grab it from over his shoulder.

I think its just there you know? haha. You never holster a rifle. It just doesn't make sense. Another funny thing, theres a little carabiner clip that has no use from what I can see either. In the prototype and final shots, it looks like it just hangs around a loop in the rear of the gun harness. Another of those "just there" accessories I suppose. Like the stop sign.

The instructions say the carabiner clip goes on the square loop. They're the Vladimir and Estragon of this figure.

I also had to glue one of the clip holders back on. Anyone notice his ankles are a bit weak? Or is it just mine?

According to the instructions, the carabiner clip goes around a fabric loop on the back (which is actually a velcro loop), not the hard plastic square bracket/loop. I think that bracket is supposed to help hold the rifle when it's slung around his back
You'd need to take pictures of all the parts that are separated for me to advise you.
Based on my memory, and previous experience with Truetype bodies, there are some parts that might need glue but definitely some parts that should NOT be glued (the rubber washer/bracket is supposed to be tight enough to hold in place once it's pushed on).
Of course, if you're not planning on swapping heads with other figures or re-using the neck plug with other headsculpts, it's not really an issue for you, so gluing isn't really a problem. But if you're one of the 1% of collectors who like to swap heads around or customize bodies, outfits, and figures, you may want to proceed cautiously.
Glad you got the neck plug out pretty easily. Usually they're tough for me to take out if the head detaches first, requiring me to use a set of needle-nose pliers. The risk of tearing or stretching the collar fabric worried me.

Anybody have a pair of batcuffs of this figure that they don't want?

hey guys check out my unboxing video of Deadshot. Seriously, I'm blown away with this figure. Great accessories, great headsculpts, good packaging, so much to talk about but i'll save it for my review (which will be coming soon). I'm really happy with him, and he definitely flew under the radar for me. Thanks in advance for checking my video out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MNR9EX1nQ_w

Hi, I'm waiting for my deadshot. is there anything to be wary of with this figure? I plan to do more "dynamic poses" with him
The caution areas I have are:
The handle for the left hand on the long rifle. It's glued in place but weakly, so it popped off on mine. I was gonna super glue it back, but for now I'm keeping it off as it's actually easier to pose his arms with a two-handed pose. I just leave the handle in the gripping hand, and it gives the freedom to make adjustments to his left hand without worrying about breaking.
The other is the forearm guns. They make a creaking noise when I put any pressure on them. Other than moving the sliding cocking part (don't know what it's called) I try not to touch them when posing the arms.
thanks for the heads up, definitely looking forward to get my hands on this figure

Can't wait. So fantastic looking, but sadly heavily underrated figure.Similar threads
