Unusual Minfig Modifications for Increased Posability

Hi, ive been working on this for a little while (I posted it on some other forums too). Its Designs for an ultra-posable minifig. I designed and bult it personally, and i must say if you take your time making it the resalts are astonishing. It works just like a regular minifig, exept the alastic connections allow for better leg posing and the holding of two handed wepons. Have a look over my "blueprints".

 Sorry for the hand-drawn plans, i just replaced my computer and it has no good programs for modeling (only paint :D). Anyway, heres a "finished" minifig using this technique

Costom fig

(its an old camera, sorry its s blury)

I still have some work to do on it, like when the arms are in "two handed mode" the arms poke out in an ugly way, im still improving the desighn.

Anyway, if anyone has feedback, has seen something like this before, or has any ideas to improve it, ill be happy to listen.

Many of us have thought of

Many of us have thought of it. But it has rather been too hard, abandoned, or we are satisfied just fine. Well, it certainly looks like a good start, I hope that you have a successful finish.
