Rubber bodies like what HT is using on Whiplash and I believe Wolverine are pretty cool. I like those.

black drago body with bigger arms

Do you HAVE any Rubber muscle bodies?

If not, TRUST ME, you DO NOT WANT them. They look great, but that's it. They suck. They pose poorly, they have crap articulation, And they can't properly hold weapons.
IF you force them to a semblance of holding a weapon properly, and leave them that way for an extended period of time, the rubber body can also become torn.

EVEN hot toys acknowledged this with the newer developed Wolverine, t-800, Comedian, and Dastan Bodies.

Sideshow will Be doing us a HUGE disservice if they start using rubber bodies. Like the old Drago, clubber lang and rocky bodies.

If you don't like Exposed joints on your action figures, May I humbly suggest you stick to Mcfarlain toys, Sideshow PF figures, and Statues.

long as the joints are decent looking i dont care but the pro body naked is ugly something like the comedian body or whiplash is perfect where the joints are not as exposed true the rubber bodys sucked but i am poseing them and want at least a great body

All kidding aside, I am curious to see this "muscle body" that sideshow claims to be developing.

My guess is its something similar to what HT is doing now.

Aside from a highly limited amount of articulation, they rot, rip apart, etc., with multiple posing. You'd be better off collecting dios and statues if you don't care about articulation.

They aren't rubber bodies. Only the upper torso and neck are covered in a thicker rubber sleeve (much like Sideshow's Jason figs). Their extremities and lower halves are plastic.

Unfortunately I have to agree

I suppose I should have said rubber like bodies then. My point being those work well and look good.

They look good, but the lack of doubly articulated elbows really hinder poseability on them too (which means you won't get a lot of the aiming poses the other figures pull off). Prog will probably pop in and say, "well, we don't have double joints on our elbows" but that second joint compensates for a bicep that on a real person, would flex out of the way. So while they're aesthetically pleasing, and more poseable than HT's standard rubber bodies, I'd personally prefer something more in line with the TTA where none of the poseability has been compromised.

 

[The Josh]

I'm sure there's a bit of the trade off. I guess for my personal preference I just like the new HT Bodies and wouldn't mind at all if some figures used them from this line, SW, Indy, Etc.

 

[lerath666]

I'd be ok with Roadblock only having single jointed elbows, as he mostly uses huge machine guns, and fires from the hip/ doesn't really shoulder his weapon.

 

[EXOTICLEX]

some figures could def use the hybrid HT bodies...

I say just make a larger version of the Prometheus and give him a full uniform with his update.

Tank tops are for wife beaters.

We should prolly move these posts into a Roadblock thread . .

i heard that the red ninja is really roadblock in disguise.
