In order to see just how well the figure poses, please check out this video:

Here are some stills but you really need to see the video to realize how sturdy this figure is:

I finally figured out how to make sturdy action figures using my Form 2 printer. This figure has almost the same properties as a mass produced PVC figure. It has very sturdy joints, can hold accessories and can even have add on clothing parts. Paint chipping may be an issue in the long run but so far I am very happy. This is the closest to emulate a mass produced toy I ever came with a 3D printed prototype.

That's awesome...I foresee in the future toy companies taking advantage of this technology by selling the blueprints to a given character that you can 3-D print for yourself at home.

Thank you. Its really amazing how far printing technology has come in recent years. There are still issues like printing time, cost and paints but a couple of years ago I would not have thought to be able to make a figure like this one day. So yes printing figures at home may come one day.
