Help with finding a 1/6 male

[Gift_in_Edge]

Hello! I'm finally broken down and have decided to ask for help finding something. I've tried on my own but not too much luck. I'm in search of a 1/6 manly and very flexible male doll. Why you ask because I want to try my hand at making a Rinzler from Tron. I know nerdy, right?
The look I going for:
His face is blank and emotionless. He has dark brown hair. His body is slim with muscles. Skin tone on the light side.


Some of what I've looked at:
Triad Toy's Evolution (Evo) body: I like the body but they don't have a head that would work for me.
Obitsu Male Doll: I really don't like how the body looks, too slim, but I do like the heads they have.
Hot Toys Truetype Body - Caucasian Advanced TTM-16: Again like the body not the heads.

I'm looking under or around the $50 range. I'm fully open for subjections. Thanks in advance~!

Wow, I don't think I'd ever seen Stinker's Stuff before. Kim's comparisons are more thorough but it still looks like a good resource.

Just my ¥2 but for this character, I'd be tempted to use either a Hot Toys TT Slim or the current, 3rd generation Dragon body. I think an Enterbay body might look even better but they tend to be expensive and difficult to find.

I'd like to see how a TT slim compares to a regular TT, will have to look for one. My True Type is a massive guy, up there with the Sideshow.

Some of it is going to depend on the head too, how much of a neck does it have?

I'm personally a fan of the Volks Neo guys, but that's just me.

That's the biggest thing I'm running into, not knowing what head fits which body.
I'm leaning towards the Enterbay body. Not sure if it's thin enough. Wondering if the Volks head GO type would fit and what skin tone. http://www.amazon.com/Scale-Original-Ac ... 540&sr=8-5

A Goh head looks like it would work on an Enterbay as the Go head doesn't have a neck. At worse you may have to put something on the end of the neck post to keep the head from falling off.

Very basically there are three types, no neck like Volks, Obitsu M and W heads, Barbie and collector Ken heads, split neck like those that fit on Dragon and DML style bodies, and those with necks that fit on figures with balls in their chests like some BBI and so forth.

You can get around mismatched necks with something like Apoxie Sculpt. I attached a split neck head to a full neck body and repainted the whole thing.

DollyKim- You have to scroll down a bit.

Gift_in_Edge - have you thought about a TT body?

[JanetT]

The Hot Toys bodies are excellent quality, and have beautiful heads. (though I can understand if you have a particular character in mind and none of their heads work for him). The only complaint I have is the ankle joints look funny -- but if he's wearing socks or some kind of shoe, that doesn't matter so much. The posing is amazing.

I'd recommend a Volks Neo-Goh, if you can get one. The body is nice, tall and slim with a lean musculature. (though I recommend getting the larger optional feet, it makes a world of difference in their ability to stand.) They do have eye-hole heads, though I don't know how easy they are to get, since Volks is discontinuing their 1/6 line (note, you have to buy the 'image character' which has body and head sold together to get the eyehole head). However, I think you'd get a better likeness of the character with a rooted head and a painted face. Also you can put an Obitsu slim male head on a Volks Neo-Goh body (and vice versa).

Found another review for the TT 'narrow' and 'slim' http://www.mwctoys.com/REVIEW_111809b.htm

I think I'm going with the TT body, slim if possible, with a 27cm obitsu rooted hair head with eye decals.
Thanks so so much for everyone's help!
