ask more questions

With humble thanks to all my great collectors and teddy bear friends

 

I've been working on this new body type for quite a while and I think I finally have it the way I want it. I wanted him to have full movement and this is the best way I could come up with - I used a light & flexible backbone, a double jointed neck, armatured front legs and paws, loose jointed back legs for the comfortable belly-up sitting position. With this body I could get a natural sitting position, a reclining position and many other poses. I was careful to make sure that he still has the soft, supple feel. When you lift him from the front his back legs and hips hang loose like a real cat. I've been waiting a long time to create a Bobcat and I thought he should be the first cat to have this body.
