>>9193188From what I recall, the original plans for the 2.0 build was to be female specific, but the fan demand for male elves was enough for the 4H to throw out the new male torso. I don't think male bodies were really planned out for the 2.0 body in advanced as they were still working on the Goblins during the KS itself. I do love how they used the Goblin upper chest mixed with the elf abs to make the Skeleton Builder's male torso, and I really wish they used that build more. I feel that would make a great base for a rogue character or something.
>>9196595I really hope so, there's still plenty of cool stuff they can do with the 2.0 builds, and new parts would only make things even better. There hasn't been any new build male figures on that buck since AoD, just straight repaints and it just seems like such a waste.
>>9197051My "kitbashes" are barebones at best, mostly just partswaps and accessorizing so I don't know how much my advice will help. But when I kitbash, I go both ways. Sometimes I have an exact plan of what I want the figure to look like and gather parts and pieces to build a figure to that end. But others I just throw what I got together and see what works.
Pic related is an example of the former, as I've wanted to build a "Elite Knight" style Knight since the line started. While not trying to match the look exactly, I had a basic idea of what I wanted out of the figure and I collected parts and pieces and picked a good base body to bring it all together. However I have a lot of figures that just kind of fall into place because I have a pile of parts and accessories, and they eventually just find homes on their own and make figures I end up really happy with.
I don't think you specifically HAVE to kitbash to fully enjoy this line, but this line does make kitbashing very easy and it was something planned to be a part of it from the start. If you just want knights,, skeletons and such, the stock figures are fantastic as is
