I'm trying to make a super-articulated Dagobah Luke. I've found a good head, torso, and legs, but am really struggling trying to find articulated bare arms. Any ideas?

Outside of Big Boa, Barrage, and RoadPig, there aren't any in Joedom. You could try the new WWE figs but there would be some significant surgery involved. And frankly, *all* of these guys here are far more muscular than Luke was and would thus not look right. I'd try bashing some elbow joints onto the Luke fig in the comic set with Mara Jade.

Yeah, I *guess* that could work; if you're just looking to easily swap parts around from one fig of a character to another and not have to break out the x-acto and surgerate the "LASER BLAST" out of them to get a half-assed result. I guess. :-/

I just can't respect customs that don't use X-actos and gallons of blood.

Cap told me that he once sliced his finger so deep that he scraped the bone, severed nerve tissue and was leaking sub-cutaneous fats. This paralyzed his hand and caused it to eventually fall off. He then duct taped it back on, swore at it, and then built a perfect, completely lighted 1/18 scale model of the island of Manhatten using only foamcore, a set of magic markers, and spit. And that's how men customize.

What about Microman arms?

If you don't want to mod the torso to accommodate the Microman ball joints, perhaps you could mod the arms you're currently using to fit the MM arms at the swivel by making the chop and re-using the peg to reattach them.

Yeah, on the anniversary of the incident my hand and I sit down to watch Evil Dead II.

That's what I get for trying to debase a Dire Weasel.

Never debase the weasel.

I say check to Joe guides again, there are some arms that are fairly bare and will take minimal working, to make all bare.
