I have no idea why Hasbro still goes with that crappy clip system for the comic figures, instead of sculpting the straps on like they do with all the MCU shields. They stress and break easy, and look terrible. I'd rather they go elastic straps (like the old Toybiz shields) as opposed to the clip system they have now.

That's a pretty good idea. Mezco put a magnet on one side of their Cap's shield and then had two separate magnets in his left glove and the star on his back so the shield could be carried either way. I'd like to do that to mine but I often have my tablet or phone near my figures and magnets typically don't do well with electronics.

To be honest though, I still prefer the clips over the plastic straps. It seems like most of the MCU shields don't fit on the arm of the Captain America they come with. For example, the straps on the Endgame Cap's shield are too far apart, making it difficult to bend his arms and hold the shield. And the strap that his hand should hold is almost too small to fit his hand through. I had to heat it up so that his fist would go under the strap.

Back when I was collecting the 3.75" Marvel Universe figures, I used to put elastic straps on all of my Captain America shields since the clips were so soft. I would cut up the scabbards from the Wolverine movie Deadpool figures into little squares and then glue four of them to the back of the shield so that I could loop the elastic through them.
