I love the idea of different body types/builds for figures, to more close match the actual actors heights/ builds.
I wonder though, if it might be a more cost- effective compromise to have just a handful of body sizes, and then reuse different ones depending on the characters.
I don’t know the actors heights, I’m just trying to give examples:
We could have three “male body” sizes: Average (Picard, Phlox, Kirk), Tall (Data, Sisko, Spock, O’Brien), and XL (Riker, Worf, Chakotay).
The same could be done for the female characters: Small (Kira, Ezra, B’Elanna), Medium (Janeway, Crusher), and tall (Jadzia, Seven).
Body mass/bulk (muscle or “curves”) could be added with a padded undersuit.
Just a thought.
