best way to make a 1/6 little kid body?

[Astro_zombie]

So with my all time favorite holiday rapidly approaching (Halloween ) I want to start work on a figure I have had planed for some time now.

I don't want to give too much away just yet but I'm working on a figure based off one of my favorite Halloween movies. The problem is the character is a kid. Like a 7 year old kid. Does anyone know a good way to Frankenstein a body together to make something like this? While I have looked into the DID Hitler youth body, I still feel even thats a bit too big. Ive never done it before so I have no Idea how to even go about starting this. Thanks guys!

You can take a look at the Obitsu bodies:

The 21CM is the shortest evidently:

If you want to know the size of these compared to a HT, look at this chart:

You can see that the MAN SLIM body is the size of a regular 12" figure. Now if you want it shorter, then I suggest cutting a chunk off the limbs and glue the rest back.

That's awesome - I might have to pick up a couple of these for giggles

Thats not too bad save for the freakishly large head. Any idea on the over all height? Those Obitsu bodies look good too. I would need something with the mobility of a standard 1/6 body.

Good thing that 'freakishly large head' isn't even included

Kelly heads will, evidently, fit the 11 cm body (Junkyspot is a good domestic dealer for Obitsus) but they're a little small for a 7 year old. The new 'Chelsie' dolls are a little taller, but the posability is lacking.

7 year old boys range from 44 to 52 inches tall, so call 48 inches an average. In scale that's 8 inches tall, so a Mego body might do the trick if you want something a little beefier than the 21 cm Obitsu.

(BTW, the 21 and 23 cm bodies are available as male or female)

Just seach on ebay "Obitsu baby" and it'll show.

I really really want to get one, but don't have a use for it, haha.

Noted XD

How well does the wooden body hold a pose?

so far I like the Obitsu baby the most.

 

[idreamoftoshiba]

I posed them OK, it's up to you as I thought it may be a more cost effective way of producing the same result at a fraction of the price mind you not as pose-able as a $30 baby body

 

[urascal]

Could be Chucky but I'm guessing Damien from The Omen. Either one would be awesome.

 

[Cheungkinmen]

Seriously?! This one screams CHUCKY...

Oh sheet! YES! I totally forgot about chucky!!! . Now you gave me some ideas...
