Isn't the back pack a med kit?
Yes
City Hunter had a med kit, but no backpack.

He wore his on his back just like the Jungle Hunter did.

Then I guess Jungle Hunter's med kit was way, way more extensive, because it took up a lot more space on his back than City Hunter's.

Wasn't jungle hunters medpack just the tip of his backpack ?
I always had the impression it was the medikit in the top and some powersource for the caster in the rest of it.

Eaglemoss's site was having a sale on a bunch of human characters so I grabbed Amanda Ripley, she's pretty cool although her ponytail came broken off in the packaging. It was a very easy fix with superglue, but it's still unfortunate that it came damaged.

Yeah, saw it too but the prices were still too high here in France to buy compulsively (19€ with discount, 25 without).
This is unfortunate your figure came broken, however needless to say it's quite frequent with those... (2 out of the 4 I own came broken too).

Which leads me to my new acquisition : Parker.
Long time have I waited for this one, which was out of stock nearly everywhere, or if available, overpriced for my wallet (in the 35€ range + 20-30€ shipping). I found it by chance in a dutch model kit store for a whopping 11€, talk about luck !
The Kotto likeness is spot on, especially from profile view, and the uniform, although quite sober and simple, is nicely done.
The prod came non broken, but alas awefully bent, I had to straighten it using a lighter's flame (to soften the resin) and my fingertips.
The major advantage of this figure is clearly the pose which is really dynamic, capturing the tension Parker experiences at this time of the movie (no need to say it comes great with Brett and the Big chap, but with a flamethrower in its hands, it could have looked fantastic with Lamber too).
As always, paint isn't absolytely perfect and the surface aspect shows a few tiny bubbles here and there in the resin, but overall it's an outstanding little figure of this iconic character.

Thank you both! Appreciate it! Now one day I have to get them a glass case with proper lighting to really do them justice!

If you're looking for inexpensive but good looking glass cases, get a Detolf from IKEA for $60 and light them up with some LED lights. I used LED strip lighting that I got on Amazon for $20, but other people have used puck lighting, or the LED light bars that IKEA sells.

Thanks for the advice. I'll check it out!  :)
