Knee: Hot Toys basic body wrist joint; cut at both edges, glued into each side of the leg.

Ankle: Socket (1) glued into upper boot; ball piece (1)(large) connected to similar sized peg (Hobby Base template/tree); lower portion identical to upper.

Basic information:
The figure was sculpted using Super Sculpey, and painted with Modelmaster acrylics. The joints are a compilation of Revoltech joints, Hobby Base joints, Kotobukiya ball joints, and scrapped joints from figures I hadlying around. The figure itself stands almost EXACTLY 4 inches tall. The face is removable, allowing for different expressions (of which I have yet to sculpt), a long with his hat, allowing for different, more dynamic posing effects. He currently has 6 incherchangeable hands; 3 for his right, and 2 for his left.

This is probably going to confuse many people, so, if you have questions, go ahead and ask away.

With the sockets, will the ball joint stay in the figure without it? Does the socket allow the joint to rotate at the peg?
