Remember playing with action figures a few days ago as a kid? While it was fun to make up adventures for these little people and their various accessories, pose options were generally somewhat limited.
If you’re looking for a new take on action figures, that concentrates on movement possibilities and customization options over pure outward aesthetics, then this open source action figure kit by APtech may be just the thing. The figure is an impressive 36cm tall and 15cm wide, and comes in green… and only green so far. The figures look like they’d be great for stop motion animation, or perhaps simply to keep you company.
Full documentation for the build, including print files is found on Hackaday.io, so the whole thing could also be printed. You’ll just need need to come up with a variety of screws and other hardware, which may be be difficult to source these days. Alternatively, you could start with the base model, then print and decorate your own custom head, or even new arms, legs, and accessories when it’s time for a change.
