Quick answer
For 6" Squadts, choose the MS5 Hardshell for rugged protection or the Tactical Sweater for a casual layered look. For 20" figures, the Heather Hoodie is a classic everyday choice. The Fort Burnout Tee offers a lightweight option for warmer display settings.
Size matters: 6" vs 20" Squadt accessories
Squadt accessories are not one-size-fits-all. The 6" figures require smaller, more fitted clothing, while the 20" Squadt needs larger items like the Heather Hoodie. Always check the size compatibility before purchasing to avoid disappointment.
The MS5 Hardshell, Tactical Sweater, and Fort Burnout Tee are all designed for 6" Squadts. The Heather Hoodie is the only accessory here made for the 20" figure, so if you own a larger Squadt, that is your primary option.
Limited editions and availability
Many Squadt accessories are produced in limited quantities, often tied to pop-up events or exhibits. For example, the MS5 Hardshell was limited to 185 units, and the Tactical Sweater to 175. The Fort Burnout Tee was limited to 200. These items are archived, so once they are gone, they may not be restocked.
If you see an accessory you like, consider purchasing sooner rather than later. The limited nature adds collectible value but also means you might miss out if you wait.
Material and style differences
The MS5 Hardshell is a grey hardshell jacket with velcro closures, offering a durable, protective layer for your Squadt. It is ideal for display or light play but not for heavy articulation. The Tactical Sweater is a navy blue knit, giving a softer, more casual look that is easy to put on and take off.
The Fort Burnout Tee is a simple sand-colored t-shirt with a brown logo, perfect for a minimalist style. The Heather Hoodie for 20" Squadts is a classic hoodie that adds a cozy, streetwear vibe. Consider the aesthetic you want for your figure.
How to choose the right Squadt accessory
- For protection and durability: Choose the MS5 Hardshell if you want a sturdy, protective jacket that is easy to put on with velcro. It is best for display or light handling, but may limit poseability due to its rigid shell. Best for collectors who prioritize protection over flexibility.
- For a casual, layered look: Choose the Tactical Sweater for a soft, knit layer that fits snugly on 6" Squadts. It is less bulky than the hardshell, allowing more movement, but offers less protection. Ideal for everyday display or photography.
- For a lightweight, minimalist style: Choose the Fort Burnout Tee if you want a simple, breathable option. It is the least restrictive, making it great for poses, but it offers no protection and is the most casual. Perfect for warm settings or active poses.
- For 20" Squadt owners: The Heather Hoodie is your only option among these accessories. It provides a classic hoodie look and is designed specifically for the larger figure. It is not available for 6" Squadts. Essential for 20" Squadt collectors seeking apparel.
