Looking for a figure similar to this:

More or less the smae prportions with teh arms and legs, but needs to be about 4.5 or 5 inches tall. This guy would be perfect but is far too short.

Thanks

Ummm, you could lengthen the legs (cut right above the boot) and add upper arms (cut at sleeve end).

That would give you the height you need.

The problem is that this figure has the exact proportions of arms/legs/torso I am looking for If it was twice the height it would be perfect

Wait about ten years for them to make him in the 6" Black line?

Looks like it is going to be down to a full-on scratchbuild/sculpt.

Almost impossible to get in the UK. Looked into Hydroshrink a while back. Did find one firm that had it, but they don't supply it to the public. The cost of getting it shipped over from America would be prohibitive, plus customs charges and other problems with customs.

Going to try using this:

Will need a heckiva lot of filling and sanding, but the prportions are almost perfect. Will need to scratch-sculpt a head as well.

Looks like he has noticulation below the neck, yo. Go for the RevolTech figure.
