April's belt pocket

[CyberCubed]

Silly question: does anyone have any idea what's supposed to be in the little pocket on April's belt in the '87 cartoon? It's vaguely gun-holster-shaped, with it's odd little angle on the bottom, but it's CLEARLY not that, and I doubt it's a weapon of any kind (or she would have tried to use it on SOMEONE, during one of the many times she'd been threatened during the series run *LOL*).

Here's a pic:

Any ideas?

A condom case.
But more seriously, it might be case for a portable tape recorder. There might be a scenario in which her camera is lost and she'll need some kind of back up.

Hasn't she used it before by pulling out a small camera on occassion?

Is that only seen during season 1?

Ssoooo . . . I guess we're, like, mocking me for asking a question that - as I subsequently legit explained in the original post - I actually had a purpose for asking?

Classy. :trolleye:

Well, as a serious answer . . . the actual character model for April, and numerous screen-shots, AND one of the action figures, all portray it as a tape recorder with connected microphone. And is, for the record, in no way shaped as I described in my original question that you copy-pasted above.

So it wasn't even clever mockery.

*shrug* Whatever, I ain't ashamed, I asked what I needed, and got the answers I was lookin' for.

Dang April is strapped for battle.

Dang April is strapped for battle.

*LOL* Yeah, I always loved how that figure version of her came with a whole bunch of news equipment . . . and a hand cannon that would make Hellboy's Samaritan look small.

Like, "Hi, I'm April. I'm a news reporter! This is my camera, this is my microphone, this is my tape recorder . . . and this is Megatron. Say hello, Megatron!" *CHOOM!!* "He shoots black holes!"
