Ohhhh. I had completely forgotten about those. ;p

What age range do you think could that body could be used? Thinking about 3 to 6, all genders.

Yeah, I'm actually excited to get that Mr.Z pony now. :'D

Re: age range -- I think your guess is good, but it depends on how the body looks next to the adult 1/6 bodies. I'm really bad at guessing, and couldn't tell for sure unless I saw a pic of it next to some adult figures.

So I bought four Mr Z Child bodies from Giantoy, they arrived after one week. They are sold out at the moment.

There aren't really children heads available separately, I once bought the 'monk head' on ebay which might be a customized copy of the Aikido kid. I made a silicone mold from it before I put brown hair on it.

Left: customized "Wolf Boy" figure, the first child figure I bought as it was affordable unlike these lakor babies.
Right: Mr Z child body with the customised "Monk head" and some place holder wrapping. Mr Zs are slightly taller and has bigger feet.
Look at the march 14 2020 post for more on monk and wolf.



They come with multiple spare hands and pegs etc. All very tight. Three bodies had very hard feet and hands that could only be attached with heating, another body had softer hands and feet


In preparation of the bodies I downloaded multiple 3d models of busts and statues depicting children from the Scantheworld project on Myminifactory. They 3d scan museum sculptures from around the world and make them available for free

I cut and scaled the models and added holes before printing.
I have 7 different sculpts now and one baby sculpt.
Some are better, some worse. They are all boys I think but should work for all genders.




Here with baby/small child sculpt on obitsu body. The weird pink one with the cap is one of the seven printed sculpts, but primed. The clothing is from the wolf boy set and fits the slightly larger Mr Z.


The bald one in the middle is a resin clone of the monk, but it had some bubbles and ears were damaged.




These are mostly first drafts of course, will update some time with size comparison to adults and painted heads etc.

LOL @ that last pic!

Thanks for the quick review and update. I only handled the Mr. Z body briefly myself, but I think it seems pretty good for what it is (a small, entirely plastic body). Seems to work well enough with several of your ancient kid sculpts...?

The baby on the Obitsu body is so cute!

Your customised 'monk head' girl on the Mr. Z body is just awesome, really like her. ^.^

That is disturbing...

Very cool! They are turning out great, and that monk's head is just perfect for your purposes. The one with the busted ear can be concealed under ample hair. Looking forward to seeing what you end up doing with these down the line.

Well, kids figures are a bit like those horror movies with puppets...some absolutely fear them and others like them
I like the options and can't wait for more caesar kids. But I'm more interested in how they look painted in the end. But the printed options are nice, given there aren't that many heads to choose from right now.

Thanks for the pioneer work

I think Ovy is going to make an army of babies lead by Baby Caesar and invade Britain.

Those are cool however, I don't really remember seeing kids in 1/6.

huh, now those seem to have thrown a tantrum until they were literally blue in the face color me intrigued as to were this is going, but any diorama can profit from some demographic immersion.

personally i'd try for a fist of the north star bart and lynn if only the scale of the figures weren't so off the charts.
