Just finding a Manny to put armor or a costume on is easy...but the devil is in the details. The best costume on the RPF will look like dog crap on a bad Manny. Just an OK costume will really impress on a killer Manny. I had a full ROTJ Boba Fett costume that I sold because I couldn't get it to look right on ANY Manny...A couple things I've experienced...Torso and leg adjustments only need to be minimal really. At least for most figures. Feet just need to be serviceable, to get shoes/boots on and off while still holding position and being solid. Most importantly, the shoulders, elbows and wrists need adjustment. Making minor adjustments here really makes the figure look lifelike, but most manny's fail in these areas. If there were some way to make those joints a TIGHT fit, that would hold position when adjusted, would be ideal.Another key is the hands. Manny hands just SUCK. Many of our characters wear gloves, which is great because it hides a "real flesh" hand, but we need a lot of adjustment here. Again, something that could be manipulated but still hold shape. I've made custom hand using a block of wood for the palm and then thick wire for fingers wrapped in rubber hose. With gloves on you can really tweak the position. A couple of my builds here...[URL unfurl="true"]https://www.therpf.com/forums/threads/build-1-1-anovos-vader-statue.271702/[/URL][URL unfurl="true"]https://www.therpf.com/forums/threads/1-1-lifesize-darth-maul-statue-new-pose.232569/[/URL][URL unfurl="true"]https://www.therpf.com/forums/threads/1-1-silicone-ledger-dk-joker-new-pics.143816/page-2[/URL]HTH!</blockquote>
