Are there any 10" male bodies?

I need a 10" body with modern articulation for a custom job I'm doing - looked at ganghood teen body but that's 11" tall - anybody know of a 10" body? Can't find anything on eBay. Thanks in advance!

Circa 2007, Toy Soldier ( it's a brand) released an exclusive Vietnam figure - Kenn Miller

He was a shorter body type. Somewhere in the 9-10 inches range. How easy to find today? No clue.

What I would do, in your shoes, is to try to find a Dragon Models female figure, convert it to use a male headsculpt, pad the inside a little to fill out the figure a bit for depth ( you could literally use cotton stuffing and duct tape here) and add some reworked male clothing onto the figure.

Just some thoughts. Good luck.

could a guy just shorten the legs a bit? cut out what you need to make it the height you want and drill each part to put a stiff wire or like i use a small rivet pin and either epoxy or super glue
just throwing that out there.

That's a good question and observation.

From what I remember, most previous experiments lots of people had with cutting down legs ended up cracking the entire lower leg section. The design for the common 1/6th nude is still a clamshell system. Once you clip off an end, you risk destabilizing the entire thing.

I suppose it depends on what brand nude 1/6th figure you use. DML G2 bodies should still be relatively cheap, and the plastic grade is IMHO more durable than the BBI G1 counterparts. I mean if you are going to carve up a body, use a cheap one right....

I'd probably tell the OP to do an Ebay search for older Sideshow bodies, aka the "Classic Buck" body types. Maybe one of their various licenses included something smaller.
