April is a dull time at work. It's our new fiscal year and no one has any projects for us until the funding clears.
When I get bored, I tend to customize, out of whatever is at hand.
So I turned this:

He's fully articulated, using the push pins as ball joints. His articulation is mostly based on the one used for a Stikfas, with a few tweaks. He's got 25 points of articulation, but until I glue the pins in, he's pretty fragile with the limbs coming off pretty easily at the pin points. Longer pins would be better for the longer limbs, but once I glue them in it will be significantly better.
This guy was just a test to see how to ball joint articulate a figure. I think in subsequent ones, I will shape down the buck to be more rounded and less blocky to increase the range of movement.
In the mean time, I am keeping him as is to prove that you really can make toys out of anything.
