yeah the dragon body is good too. it's not as tall, but more beefy

the store rooms body i think the problem is the plastic they use. dont know what it is but its kind of brittle. i took it out of the blister and just turned it right to test out the articulation and it snapped! figured no problem and i must've gotten a bad one. turned the other one and snapped and i started to freak.

sent storerooms an email and they said sure ship it back to them for replacement. problem is it's like $30 for shipping to asia so i wrote them back and said i'll buy something else from their store since i was looking to get one of those figure sets so just ship me the replacement body and they said no. :( after that they stopped replying to my emails. they have some decent parts but man it's crazy difficult to get stuff from them. once it's shipped you're SOL
 
Sad new. I'm always on the look out for different bodies that can serve my customizing needs. It's been hard finding a quality body that's taller than a TT.
 
Someone posted this a while back but I can't remember who. Been referring to it from time to time. A little dated, but thought it might help.

SS female bodies can be made taller for characters like Ripley.

-Or DC bodies can be used for characters like She-hulk or others.

As people become taller the need for taller figures will increase.






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



Wait, you made your Wolverine TALLER??!
:slap :rofl
