World Box 1:6 "anatomically correct" male body with & without head

[Mau]

Throwing this in for those who are using the body for bashes, I guess it should have been obvious but, being a muscle body, some heads aren't going to fit on that fat old neck. A friend tried a Loki head on this and it did just about click onto the peg, but it perched ridiculously high on the neck. Looked just wrong. So, a warning. Get a head that was built for a muscle body.

Well, that's one thing you can easily fix! Just pull out the rubber stuff that sits on the peg, put it on the peg without the head then put the head back on until lit sits at the right height. I've done it plenty of times. Works great!

Thanks for the tip, 16K, although I have to confess I didn't follow it. I wonder if you are offering a solution to the neck peg being effectively too long. It isn't that. The head just can not be jammed onto the neck any further. She showed me a photo. The neck is as wide as the head.

Yes, I see what you mean here. In that case, the only way is to dremmel it larger. It's the case with the first issue headplay too...

Well, yeah , my explanation is a bit difficult to follow. And yeah, it's a solution when the hs sits too low or too high. Basically, what you do is remove the robber thingy inside the head (pliers and acetone free nail polish remover-to unglue it- can be helpful).
Then you just have to put the rubber thingy on the neck peg and slide the head back on until your satisfied with how it sits... Damn, I'm not sure it's even easier to understand here. It's hard to explain!

 

[Mau]

LOL. No, I got that one. That sounds as though it would work with a head that sat too low, but I am not sure it would help a head sit lower on a long peg as you couldn't push the socket any further up than where it started out. But thanks anyway. I will mentally stash that tip away for when I might need it.

And no wriggle room for dremmeling there. There is no plastic on the sides of the jaws to dremmel away. She will be swapping over to a small body for this head and find another head that is made for a bigger neck for this body, like Thor.

Just wondering for the people whom have this in hand
What colour would you call the skin?
As it looks a tad dark and I need a lighter colour but the body size is perfect for what I need.

 

[Mau]

If you get the body without the head (VT-001), it is unpainted and corpse pale. Lighter than any head I own (apart from Voldemort, and it really doesn't suit him. ). No idea on the AT-001 body and head combo. Someone else might be able to help there.

Could someone post some comparison pics of Worldbox 2.0. painted body with TTM 19, as it was here with the first version? Is painting on the worldbox darker? Any reference would be appreciated. Thanks.

Where would I look for just such an action figure. Yes I am gay and proud of it. Well sort of. Seeing as how its about as popular now a days as saying I'm still using Betamax and loving it. At least in the action figure worlds. WHo makes this action figure, and what does it cost? Thank you

They are made by WorldBox, and you should be able to pick one up on Ebay, they go for around 60-70 dollars these days.
