The Outlaw

6" articulated action figure - W.I.P.

The outlaw is a cowboy-outcast type of character that I came up with some years back, and I wanted to convert the small sketch I made of him into an action figure. The figure will be made of injection molded plastic, and flocking will be applied to the legs. The neck, shoulders, and legs will have ball-joint articulation, while the knees and elbows will have sliding plates to 90 degrees.

On the left is the drawing done in 2020, and the right is a stylized drawing I did for this project to get in the mindset of the character.

Adding articulation

After a base model was created, it is time to introduce exact measurements and joint articulation. Sliding plate and ball articulation will be the focus. The illustration below drafts the placement of these joints within their respective limbs.
