I honestly don't think seamless arms are necessary for Lurtz. If you look at the texture on the costume, the skin is roughly textured and I think that would definitely translate better in hard plastic than rubber. Similar to the Hot Toys Drax figure.
Sure it would be nice if it could be done seamless so that the texture was there and it wouldn't fall to bits over time but let's be realistic, that won't happen.
Better spending the time on getting an amazing headsculpt (please don't use that 1/8th statue for it) and detailed armour. View attachment 513247

What 'experience' are you having with your figures?
And you are OK with molded hair -- that doesn't take you out of the experience -- but a cut-joint does?
How do you deal with wrist cut-joints if the character doesn't wear a watch, gloves or a gauntlet?
I want them to look as realistic as possible and thats what makes me enjoy them. Elbow joints, ab joints, knee joints can all be avoided. Rooted hair usually looks worse than sculpted hair, so yeah.
It's pretty much impossible to avoid wrist peg joints, so I can look by that, but pretty much every figure I own has them covered in some way anyway.
The only thing that made me buy Endor Leia was because she has that poncho to hide the elbow joints. Look at those Harley Quinn figures, exposed elbows, exposed knees, I just think it looks horrible.
Actually Harley and worldbox bodies look fine.
Granted it does not look real... but no 1/6th figure looks real. I mean, you are simply choosing which falsehoods to ignore. You accept wrist joints and plastic hair, but draw the line at elbows. OK. But others may be able to look past elbows too. Ever had your seamless elbows split yet? You will, and we'll see how much you like the cracked rubber as opposed to the cut joint.
Unless you plan to outstretch your Lurtz' arms in some kind of Rocky pose, then I think the cut joint at the elbow will be less annoying than you think. The shoulder is covered. The plastic hair you get will never be stringy in his face like it should -- that should bother you more.
I'm just saying, if Asmus is still complaining about making the seamless body then maybe a cut joint body will get us a Lurtz quicker.
That's just like your opinion, man.
