Re: IT'S OFFICIAL!!! [IMINIME + TREVOR GROVE!] A Memento to 'Remember Sammy Jankis'
I've heard all that kind of stuff floating around but I don't know any solid details. It would absolutely help their cost but I'd hope that they'd tackle what the market is missing instead of making a substitute for the HT narrow.
HT is already doing what they're doing and they are doing it very well. What we need is a real "medium" build muscle body. Something like the ACI Christian with a smaller chest and forearms and better neck and ab articulation. That would be needed in Caucasian and AA; maybe Asian too.
Then the slim muscle body is needed in all the skin tone variations too. Something like Bruce Lee sized or along the lines of that skinny Kaustic.
And I agree that ankle extenders or some type of system for varying height is important. Whatever the approach it would be wise for the feet/ankles as well as the hands to be fully compatible with HT TT.
On a side note, I may be very wrong but I suspect that this Worldbox body will have the same articulation issues that the ACI does. It looks like a recast of the TTM19 and if the chest piece is grad pastic like the ACI, then they may well share the same neck and ab problems.

As much as I would love to see this character, I think the selling point for him is the body with tattoos... and without the proper body I see this project as a waste of energy, resources, etc. This will not look right by any means on the Christian or ttm19. My opinion is a project like this should wait until the proper body is released.
Then again, I wouldn't be a player on this figure so maybe I should just hush up. :lol
I agree with Pop, make your own bodies Denny. Your pockets will explode with profit if you can market a few "true to the average joe" type of bodies. Maybe once your 3d guy is in house your can make it happen. We should all probably try and rally Kaustik as well.

The TTM19 has slightly larger arms then Lenny... but the overall shape of the torso is not far off in my opinion. AND the PERFECT body MAY NEVER be made... If it ever is made then this figure can revisited. PERSONALLY a slightly imperfect Lenny is better than none at all. Especially since I will likely display him with the shirt half off thus only revealing the chest and stomach tattoos. Of course the option to display him shirtless must be there as well.

I think that HT body is better quality-wise, and I think that ACI is not the worst possibility. Dislike the Kaistic it is really weird.
The best solution for Iminime is to produce new body with ZCWO (those they made are close to HT, I think). And it would be win situation for, as people say there is no middle or narrow muscle body (especially with interchangeable feet extenders).
I was also thinking that it is important for tattoos to stick well to the body, so they are not easily scratched. And we have to take the material of the body into account.
Definitely.

I think this one will be a long wait. After The Cowboy, Trev might have another secret iminime project to complete before starting this one. In any case, I am sure it will be worth the wait.

Re: IT'S OFFICIAL!!! [IMINIME + TREVOR GROVE!] A Memento to 'Remember Sammy Jankis'
I am thinking to use the recent released one in market.
Very similiar to Hottoys muscle body.
The only issues that I found was the color match.(chest, arm and legs are all different color)
I asked this issue to the dealer that I buy bodies from.
still waiting for it.
As Walking dead project's body has been replaced with this body.
and I need to remake the pattern again for new fitting.
let me know if you have other options that I can check bodies.
P.S : I and my partner in HK making muscle bodies(two types),but they will not be availale soon enough.

There is a new body called the Kit's Custom Body. It includes a soft rubber torso Link here:

Also, Denny, have you started testing the tattoos?

Rubber? You're asking for tears down the road with rubber. Lord knows we've seen it enough in the 1/6 world. Doubly problematic with a figure you won't easily be able to replace a body for like this.

It's PVC rubber like the TTM19 man. It's not rubber arms.

Not very sure about that body. never seen before, is it mass produced body? from where?

I think that the kit body that Omar is showing you may be worth looking into Denny. Read what they were saying about it in that thread. They think that it is a recast of the Kaustic body. The main problem with the authentic Kaustic body was that it was bow legged (hips too far out) and that made it look weird. But it looks like the problem was fixed with the kit body.
Maybe the body color and the detail on the forearm isn't great but it may look better in hand. Especially for someone like Rick I think that this could be a good choice if it's good quality. The forearms are skinny enough for Rick and it's not too wide from shoulder to shoulder like the ACI and the TTM19 is and it looks a little shorter.

Kit body looks to be a winner! Seems like the chest is smaller. I'd also like to see those on the Walking Dead figures, at least the Hitfigure is an upgrade. Stoked for that.

If I remember right... it's a rubber body right?
Hot Toys has made me scared of rubber bodies now...
