    More Diversity is Needed All Around

    I used to customize and I found it extremely frustrating that there was such a lack of diversity in basic parts.

    I'm not just talking about racial and ethnic diversity in facial features, but variety of body parts....take female figures- if you're customizing your own JLA or Avengers the female characters will all pretty much have the same bodies.

    Same goes with male figures....there's very little basic variety.

    If manufacturers could improve on this we could have a much wider playing field.

    I was working on a few things before my motorcycle crash. Broader shoulders and chest. Bigger forearms, swivel biceps. I was thinking about working on them some more.

          Stuff in the works...

          Taller, articulated waist, other changes to Hulk. And a buffer torso for super heroes.

            Ohh yeah! They look great Lonnie! Would you consider arms with the swivel between the top of the biceps/triceps and bottom of the shoulder?

              I want that with a different shoulder connector, like the playmates nine inch Trek figures had. This is what I had put together a couple years ago. I did this before Doc released his Hulk style body. I've got different style forearms ready to be molded and some Mego Hulk fists with wrist articulation. Then he was going to get ankles. I have buffer biceps also that I haven't had a chance to make molds of.

                Man, Lonnie, FTC needs you redesigning its bodies.

                  those look great Lonnie.

                  Here are some bodies I've customized over the years. I really wish someone would make a female body.

                      Those are very, very nice. Very clean and nicely sculpted.

                          I don't sell any of mine anymore. I'm not sure about Lonnie.
