Re: Fully Articulated Life Size Action Figures
I was looking on ebay realistic mannequin and the size may need to be young adult or child.
To fit my skeletons, and I am sure some sculpting of fiberglass will need to be added.
Question is do I want to take on a project like this? $$$$$
Re: Fully Articulated Life Size Action Figures
I'm avoiding fiberglass. I've worked with it before, never again. It's a mess and severely an irritant. So, I'm looking for a plastic model.
The money is another thing. I want this badly, but past attempts haven't worked. I've wasted lots on trying things in the sculpting realm.
For the precision I want for this, 3d printing would have been the best way to go. But now that I know the tpe won't slide off if the joints are cut out, I may consider cutting up another tpe doll for this. Again, the money...
Since I have the yl skeleton, I'm still looking for the plastic mannequin to use for the body.
But it has to be the right size and proportions.
Long live the sexy sex robots that look like sex robots...

For anyone that's interested (or still reading this thread) I found out a deep reason why I'm obsessed with this project. The term is "Uncanny Valley". Androids and sex dolls are appealing when they look human, but only up to a certain point. We need a distance or it becomes creepy (to some). For me, I like both ends of the spectrum, real and mechanical.

inflatable male mannequins (great muscles!)

Their design definitely also fits to a robot fetish topic. Unfortunately they are not poseable and of flimsy cheap vinyl material. (I anyway don't care about sticking a dick in.) But imagine something like this made with technology like the OtherLab inflatable robots seen on Youtube.

A technically interesting normal sized action figure was the Fully Articulated Spider-Man; it even had poseable fingers and was flexible enough to make stopmotion videos.

That fabric is a bitch to cut, resorted to a scalpel on the mini and it was still a challenge
Re: Fully Articulated Life Size Action Figures
Once I finish with this one, I will try the 3d printed way. Thank you MrsMM.
Seagull, sorry to hear that. I keep looking at different methods of printing and am not sold on any of them.
I am still part time working on stripping the YL. The tpe is sticking to the joints. That's all that's left to do on that. The amount of material on a doll is amazing. I've kept the hands and feet. The tpe seems to be stuck firm on them and it should look good once this is finished. Still looking for a mannequin to cut up. The first tpe head was destroyed. Was thinking of making a mold of Aurella but she's one of a kind. I can't risk ruining that beautiful face. She's the one on my profile picture. A modified SM elf. If the mannequin I choose has a good face, I'll try keeping it.
