Sulu's body is very much like this Ganghood 2.0 'Bruce Lee' muscle body:

Picard's was very similar, if not the same. Both had their rubber necks cut off, of course.

EDIT:

I found Sulu to be too tall, so removed the extensions from the bottom of the legs:

Without ankle pegs that made him 5' 6". Walter Koenig was supposedly the same height as George Takei:

Awesome! How easy is it to remove the ankle pegs? I am quite incompetent.

They're plugged in tight, so I ended up cutting them off after failing to pull them out.

To get the correct height I took the pegs out of the boots, so the legs just sit inside them. Once zipped up it's all pretty secure.

Ok, so looking at the Coo models we have BD01 25cm and BD02 27cm. Does that mean all the short ones need to lose their ankle pegs?

I can only speak for the Sulu/Picard body. The stock figure measured 11.5" not including boot soles/heels. After I cut the extensions off and took the pegs out of the boots he measured 11", which was my target to get Sulu to 5' 6".

It's hard to tell what would be needed to be done with other bodies until you try them, and measure with the head and boots in place.

I presume the 25 cm measurement is to the top of the neck, which would be similar to the Ganghood 2.0. Though I don't know how bulky the Coo bodies are, since the Ganghood 2.0 is quite slight - it was a pretty good match for Takei, bar for the height.

Thank you. Some very useful advice. I think it's time to do some shopping...

Anyone know how the height of the ZC Emulated body compares to the ganghood body? It is also used for Bruce Lee but don't know if it is a shorter body.

So I am happy I bought 2 sets of Kirk n Spock in April and May this year.

 

[Mike86]

Glad I got them when I did. I have almost the full QMX set other than Scotty and Sulu and the chair.

Great news, my friend. Be prepared to hear a lot of negative comments, as that seems to be the only thing that many people can write on forums such as this nowadays.

I personally am onboard with your new venture and cannot wait to see what you have in store for us! It's been a long journey for us since your release of the first figures years and years ago and I am so glad you will finally be able to make your dream and that of myself and many other fans come true.

Happy Star Trek Day to you, my friend, and good luck!

Fantastic news Nanjin!
Did you get a chance to check your PMs?

 

[davejames]

I have no idea what you're up to Nanjin, but I'm totally here for it!!

Ladies and gentlemen, good news all around as my friend and co-worker of over 30 years underwent a successful umbilical hernia operation earlier today (PST), as well. The technology is undeniable! He, too, will be better, stronger and faster than he was before! So his doctor promised.

What? Haven't had your dose of stirring up **** today NCC?

Looking forward to the next step (almost said generation )

Happy Star Trek day! Can't wait to see what 1/6 Star Trek figures are waiting for us.

"Non-constructive" ? What do you mean with that?

The post/message you quote is from whom? From you, Nanjin? Or some other company?

You or they "can rebuild", do they have the licence from the ST Franchise?
