What are these things on Muskrat?

[G.I.*EDDIE]

First is that tank looking thing...WTH is it?

The other are those things on his arms...it's identical on both sides...WTH are they?...watches?...depth gauge?...altimeter?..."cool" leather straps?

 

[K-Tiger]

Watch and compass?

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

Four of them?...he's got the same set up on the other side?

 

[K-Tiger]

Does he?

Fashiom statement. This is the guy that came with a baby blue machete and a

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

Never know when a boogie board might come in handy

 

[K-Tiger]

I think I have Muskrat, actually. I try not to think too much of the random greebles the ARAH figures have.

 

[The Ewokhunter]

don't knock muskrat! That was one of my favorites as a kid. I even bought a real boonie hat and a family friend gave me a Marines Flak Jacket.

Funny story about that boonie hat though, I was walking home from school one day while wearing it. I was walking on the 4 lane road. A car blew past me, knocking off my hat. As I turned to see where it was, the chin strap had became tangled on the door handle of said car. I stood there, watching my favorite hat drive down the road.

First is that tank looking thing...WTH is it?

Canteen, maybe? The cap is angled weirdly, but that's all I can think of.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

It looks like an oxygen tank or something...like what EMS or firefighters have sometimes...but for a swamp dude, it doesn't make sense...plus it's really small

 

[unclassified]

some sort of air tank i suppose. he does reside in the swamp, so maybe that is part of a breathing apparatus?

 

[K-Tiger]

It's probably an air bottle for when inevitably tries to use his kick board as a hoverboard and falls in the water.

 

[MMorelock66]

I believe it's a water bottle, that is molded to stay true to the leg.

email hasbro.

hey make this one of the five questions.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

Thanks for all your help ya buncha losers

 

[Mswi]

I think its a re-breather tank. looks like a tank, gauge on top and a hose anyways to me

 

[Falcone]

It looks like diving gear on both his wrists and leg. I know it's not really appropriate for his specialty but I still find it amusing. Look at Muskrat being released by the club. That figures has some diving gear on him as well.

Sometimes the gear added to figures doesn't make sense, but it's really neat when it does. Some figure's gear seems to have been really researched before it was added.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

Think you guys might be right...is he swamp diving though? Lol

And do divers really have that many gauges on their arms?...four?!

 

[Falcone]

A watch, a pressure gauge for the air tank, a depth gauge, and a compass?

 

[Mandingo Rex]

A watch, a pressure gauge for the air tank, a depth gauge, and a compass?

I think this may be the closest guess.

When in doubt on the sculpt, I always check high-res card art. eBay almost always has high res images of both the figures and the artwork. It looks like some sort of gauges, although who knows. Could just be friendship bracelets.

It's funny how the art shows it to be solid bands without the gaps. I thought about getting X-23 wrist bands to go on the JoeCon Muskrat...

 

[Mandingo Rex]

Thermometer, watch, compass, and maybe even stopwatch?

Here's one with a bunch of shit!

[G.I.*EDDIE]

Man, that's a lot of monitoring equipment for a guy in the swamp...I'll just mimic it and not worry about their functions...

 

[K-Tiger]

You fags, he's obviously into Swatch watches.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

Lol...we're fags?!...did swatch watches even cross anyone else's minds?

 

[The Ewokhunter]

oh damn, swatches.

 

[K-Tiger]

Lol...we're fags?!...did swatch watches even cross anyone else's minds?

They should have. You fucking ARAHFags all still live in the '80s.

 

[The Ewokhunter]

They should have. You fucking ARAHFags all still live in the '80s.

 

[K-Tiger]

I know they sing "Never Gonna Give You Up" to their Saved by the Bell cast poster.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

They should have. You fucking ARAHFags all still live in the '80s.

And yet, it was still you that thought of it...come out of the closet you flaming ARAHfag...we won't judge you

 

[K-Tiger]

Never!


*sets box of ARAH figures on fire*

 

[The Ewokhunter]

Never!


*sets box of ARAH figures on fire*

burning Patton tank laughs at flaming figures

 

[K-Tiger]

I'm still sad about that thing. I already have 2, but seeing that thing melt hurt.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

Never!


*sets box of ARAH figures on fire*

It was YOU who stole NSAs ARAH figures from storage!!...just to burn them?!...that's low!

 

[K-Tiger]

I have my own shameful hoard of the vile things!

 

[fogger1138]

I gave all of mine away.

 

[K-Tiger]

That's the smart thing to do. Maybe trade them for a bag of Cheetos.

 

[fogger1138]

I got some cast parts for some of them. Another member was going to at least reimburse me shipping for the ones I sent him, but I never saw that.

 

[K-Tiger]

I've thought about trying to swap mine, but the memories (notice I don't want them wasting space in the modern line, ARAHFags ) is worth more than what I'd likely be able to get for them.

 

[fogger1138]

I thought about that - I kept a few figures back.

 

[MMorelock66]

I've actually been trying to get a hold of a lot of arah stuff for a photography project. Fuckers
