Bigger, taller, 1/6 bodies???

[samueljd]

Does anyone have recommendations for a taller 1/6 body? I need some taller, and maybe bigger bodies for some customs I'm working on. A half inch taller than a HT Truetype body might what I need.

I'm not sure how much taller they are, but Triads Omega bodies were pretty tall...

There are also the larger dc direct 13 inch bodies.

Sideshow made a Jaws figure from Bond. He was a bit taller then most reg bodies.

Yep. Getting harder to find now, tho. Used the DC TDK Joker one for a few customs. It was perfect.

Ya, I have plenty of DCD bodies lying around, but they are a smidgen too tall and bulky (plus the articulation sucks due to the cut joints).

I think he's hard to come by these days.

Does anybody have comparison pics of the Omega body next to a TT? I've been considering getting one or two of these, but don't want to commit to them if it's not worth it.

If you have any you'd like to get rid of I'd be interested. Have found lots of uses for them. LMK

If you just need it to be taller than a TT, a Sideshow buck should work. Or at least a taller one like Qui-Gon's.

I also would love to see this as I too have been thinking of buying one, but want to see the height difference first.

I have a pretty easy way to lengthen a TrueType. It has that pivot point in the middle which is a ball joint on the bottom and a pivot at the top. You can cut the arm piece that connects them in half and then take a piece of brass tubing and use it as a bridge between the two. If you buy K&S brass #130 Round Brass Tube it will fit perfect. Its dimensions are 7/32 x .014 or 5.56mm x .355mm. I did this to my Wolverine body and it worked great. This will lengthen the torso, but be careful because the extra length can make him top heavy. I think I added a 1/4" without any trouble. It does create a little gap between the two halves of the body.

Storerooms also has those original action figure bodies. While they are talller than TT They are v-e-r-y thin. Similar articulation to TT, similar hands, neck post etc

For bulkier, slightly taller Dragon--- there were those Army/Navy (American) Football players.--They also made a couple of modern figs with that body type.----It is difficult to fit most of the standar clothes on them though

Why not go for an ACE body. I believe they are taller than HT bodies

They are apparently a lot taller than the Hot toys true types.

Thanks for the info, I'll avoid them like the plague. I was considering those bodies too, but was waiting for more opinions about them.

Glad to read that, I was going to purchase this body for my Sam Winchester. So it is 100% crappy stuff....
