I am so excited about this! I’ve wanted articulated ~1:6 scale dolls for my 1:6ers for YEARS!<\/em><\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

JMD Miniatures<\/a> provides a 3-pack of articulated armatures without heads or hands. They appear to be guy bases, but I don’t really care. They also have two sets of 5 heads and 6 pairs of hands apiece, but, irritatingly enough, all the heads are for dudes. <\/p>\n

Historex Agents makes a 5-pack of female heads<\/a> with sculpted hair. They also have a wonderful series of 5-packs of "expressive heads," again, all for dudes, but more versatile than JMD Miniatures’ because there’s no facial hair. On this page,<\/a> they’ve also got hairless heads and massive packages of hands.<\/p>\n

EDIT: Wonder if I could buy heads and hands and make my own damn armatures?<\/p>\n

EDIT 2: Red Lancers has some Historex heads and hand sets.<\/a> And they’re a US dealer! <\/p>\n

Colorado Miniatures, also a US dealer, has Hornet head sets<\/a> and hand sets.<\/a> The "African"<\/a> and "East Asian"<\/a> head sets are pretty neat. There’s a "Female"<\/a> set too that frankly has nothing to distinguish it from the "male" sets.<\/p>\n
