'Jimmy' is a Japanese 'Pose Skeleton' figure. Ridiculous levels of articulation - it's little jaw moves, even. There's a whole family, too, and skeleton dog and cat to go with them. Barking mad, but brilliant with it. What else would you expect from a toy from Japan? I love 'em. How the hell did Psylocke's costume stay anywhere near decent? Any violent moves on her part, and an undisguisable case of 'Hungry Arse' would occur.

1:39 That is a ReMent Pose Skeleton 01. They come from Japan and have entire diorama sets for them. Office, rock star, dining room, bathroom, etc. ReMent has four types. Male (which you have), female (pink with a bow), child (small with less articulation) and monster (tall and has multiple colors and forms) There's entire communities dedicated to potographing these little guys in mundane situations. Odd, but strangely fascinating pics. I just like the skeletons, lmao.

[@brianartillery]

Re-Ment are manufacturers of Dolls' House furniture, and the skeletons are in scale with those. I have the coffin set and the office set. One of my skeletons is in a model time machine, as it's long-dead pilot. They're great little figures.

[@michaelstarkey290]

@@PoppySis you are aware that the human skeleton does have differences between male and female specimens, yes? Bone density, length, number of bones, even the shape of some bones differ between males and females. As these skeletons are about 3 inches (~80ish mm) in size, are highly articulated (for the scale) and use nearly the same moulds, the only realistic way to differentiate them is via accessories and color. You can take offence to what a company has decided to do with their product if you wish (it's even called that on the packaging) but nobody is telling you to buy them.

[@MidnightVoyager]

So you're going to make a Psylocke figure. Making fabric clothes is part of your whole line, but you have INEXPLICABLY decided to pick someone who wears infamously little. How do you do it? Here are your options: A - Just mold it onto her anyway, let's face it, it makes sense. None of it would look good as fabric anyway. Just make it look extra good. B - Paint on/mold the stuff you can't really do well with fabric. Like all the weird little straps, they're skintight anyway, you can put that on her skin. Just make what you can be clothing. C - Make her a weird full body suit that does look like the costume but fills in the gaps with a flesh tone lighter than her skin. Who the HELL PICKED C???

I would pay actual money for a range of action figures based on the characters from 1970s and 80s public information films - The kid wearing an anorak as a cape in the 'danger, no swimming' ad. Or the terrifying Punch & Judy crocodile driving a small car, from one of the Don't Go With Strangers films. If there was a Marvel-style expanded universe featuring these characters, I would certainly watch all the films.

Honestly, I would actually like that Psylocke doll, but let me explain lol: I enjoy doll repainting as an art hobby. That doll seems to be nicely articulated and the purple hair is pretty and could be useful. Yes the face/head mold is a bit strange, but it does have a unique and expressive, well, expression lol (even if it's not necessarily the best) so I think taking off the factory paint, painting on a new better face, restyling/redoing the hair to hide the odd head shape, it could be a pretty cool doll for a repaint!
