slimmest 1/6 figure?

[flamingdead]

Hey all,

Starting a project, and need a very, very slim/skinny, ideally male base figure.
Can any of you guys throw me some recommendations?
Again, this has to be a REALLY skinny body!

This guy was pretty skinny- https://www.mwctoys.com/REVIEW_020806b.htm

Not sure how many are out there now, and he only comes with 1 pair of gloved hands- One on eBay HERE

Wow, thanks wookster, that looks exactly like what I'm after, nice one!
Thanks dude!

try triad samurai champloo bodies too.

and those obitsu bodies as well.

It's something a bit ambitious and likely to drive me nuts, but I'm going to try and fit it inside a kaiyodo C3PO, make a fully articulated 3po & save about $300 instead of buying the chogokin one!

obitsu bodies would be an option for that project. tracking a nude wonka could get exhausting.

 

[flamingdead]

Ah those obitsu slim bodies look like they might just do it, and it looks like they're pretty easily available too!
That's given me a few good options now, cheers guys, much appreciated

Likely cheaper and more durable, too.

That is ambitious. Would definitely love to see your progess when you get started.

would it work to add joints? probably be even cheaper.

well i'll be starting on it as soon as the obitsu figure turns up in a week or so, i'll be sure to document the whole thing and post the progress up in the star wars threads

i'm thinking that that about a few of the joints on 3PO, possibly the elbows, will see once i try fitting the 2 together and see what the work out like...

Only mentioned it because I have a BSG Cylon model (new version) that I really want to make into a poseable action figure and that's what I was considering.

is that the Moebius kit? that looks like a really nice model, but would imagine the only way to articulate that one would be adding joints, lots of them look like ball joints too, wouldn't fancy that!
For C3PO, i was thinking of going down the man in suit approach, which wouldn't work with a cylon.

 

[Ironman1188]

Yes, thats the one. I haven't done anything with models in quite a long time so it should be really interesting.

Your best bet is to try to piece one together or buy a volks dollfie. Those are really skinny. https://https://www.volks.co.jp/page_ex.jsp?CONTROLID=SC0040&BUSINESSID=InitDisp&jancd=4518992331393
