Anyone own one of the Body-Chan models that Bandai put out? There's clearly a second joint in the knee but I can't seem to get it to loose itself. I haven't seen any references where this joint moves either. Did they include a non-functional joint? The male version works fine it seems. Obviously I don't need the pose to be identical to the product and I could just live with it, but damn I wish this fucking thing would move.
I have other figuarts figures and some of them have this same double joint.
It has full range on this on but I think on yours it's a little too high up.

I was just going to buy one of those. Is Amiami a good place to order from?
Heat it up (hair dryer, hot water) then carefully move it.
Make sure it's not a bootleg too
>>3064833
yes
mine doesnt move either fwiw
actually nevermind, you just have to move it forcefully. it has some kind of snapping thing. quit being a pussy op

Huh. Intredasting. Will try. The whole reason I made this thread was because I was afraid of snapping the joint. Being that I got both the male and female model as a gift today it would be poor show to rip a leg off at the knee.
Think I'll try the warm water method, just to be safe.

You know what? After forcing it they finally moved. Like you said there's a bit of a snap to it. Damn though I thought I'd break it before it gave. Ah well. Thanks for the advice everyone.
I was thinking of getting a couple of these, ( male and female) I saw some on Amazon but they're like 70 bucks.
Any suggestions?

What's better - the figma archetypes or Body-kun?
>>3065788
Figma archetypes have better proportions (they look more like humans compared to body-kun anime body and face) and their articulation is superior. They're also cheaper, I'd recommend them
The body-kun DX sets come with a bunch of accessories though, archetype only come with two sets of hands and that's it.
the arms on the figma look really fat lol
