Advent Calendar 2024, 01: Random 1/12 body

 The lack of cheap 1/10 bodies is disturbing... but there are plenty of 1/12 bodies. Durung Last year's Advent Calendar, I stumbled on the ANT 1/12 Action figure male body. 

Sadly, I couldn't find any official website or ways to get more of this company outside random eBay items. Allegedly they also make female figures but those are for the 1/6 scale.

Naked body, of course I'm making Terminator References.

Articulation:

On paper the figure Rivals Marvel Legends in articulation. The ball joints on the Torso have a decent range of articulation. The butterfly on the shoulders on the other hand is not as effective. The head is made for Asian style figures with the smaller Peg. So compatibility with Western figures is pretty much non-existent. 

Sadly he can't properly aim his gun.

You might be able to get some soft good items from eBay that could work on him. For example the soft goods that I use to make Tatsu would work a lot better on him. When you swap his bare feet for the boots, his articulation becomes slightly more limited since the boots aren't articulated.

4.0

You don't have a dick, Walter Peck!!

Paint and sculpt:

Aside the hair everything is smaller than on painted plastic. The sculpt looks generic American guy. Of course it requires you to paint eyes eyebrows and any facial hair if you want like to say have stubble. The body sculpting is decent but it looks like it's more Suited for wearing soft good clothing than anything else. One minor gripe I have is that both his torso and the crotch are soft plastic overlays, which don't take sculpting material too well.

Accessories:

2 sets of extra hands

Gun

Boots

Alternate ankle pegs for the boots. Can make him shorter too...

4.0

Overall:

A solid 4.0 is his final score. It's not a bad figure, but it didn't suit my purposes. I could end up on making him some generic Shadaloo grunt for the street fighter line or random criminal for Spidey to web up. My plans for making him a MuTeen custom figure fell down the toilet like this:
