"Nekkid" base figures

Posted in Action Figure Chatter

Almost exactly what you think. I'm not one to bash figures together. As much as I can, I would like to work with as bare and minimal as possible. What I'm trying to get to here is that I wanted to make a "skeleton" base figure to sculpt on top of. For me, as well as most of us, would like as much articulation as possible on our custom figures. Sometimes it's hard to find a good figure where the body type and joints are almost exactly what we want for our next custom.

I have found a couple of "naked" action figure bases that I would love to have a good stock of but they are a bit expensive. Right now I'm actually in the process of trying to design a system of my own to use as a naked base figure. That way I can cast as many copies and build a collection of these naked figure bases. If I lost you, I guess you can just look at the links provided to get an idea of what I'm trying to get at lol.

If you have any other resouces for "naked" base figures, feel free to post up and I'll add it to the list. Also feel free to discuss this subject.

Revoltech - This is mainly a great figure joint system. My friend Pete and I were trying to see if the joints are sold by themselves but had no luck.

MMS (Multi Moveable System) - Devoloped by Konami, this is a full body system.

Microman - Another full body system. I think Shinobitron uses some of these for his customs.
