Description
20000 Pageviews!!!Another pokemon I wasn't going to build until I realized it was possible. The lever/tubing technique (not sure if anyone has used it like this) made him the most dexterous creation I've ever made, capable of some crazy balance acts. I could've made him much better had I had a few pieces in the right colors.
Btw, Medicham is one of the coolest Pokemon ever, especially for not being a legendary or rare. He's in my top 3.

Is there really enough tension in the arm joins to pose them like a normal action figure or is it a pain to reposition them every time?
I like it either way!

The problem really isn't the arm, it's the shoulder, which can come off easily if twisted the wrong way. The arm itself is pretty stable, although I wouldn't have him carry anything. Posing them is fairly easy.

By goodness you've achieved such a wonderful level of flexibility and pose, to the point where it comes alive! Wonderful work!

I think the mix of bionicle's and lego works perfectly on this, posable too while also retaining the look of the pokemon, well done

Wait, so most of his smaller joints are made out of those little antenna/control stick pieces?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yea. They're stable enough when the creation is small. They're also quite durable and won't come apart unless you force them apart.

I never would have considered those as load-bearing joints. What do you use to connect them?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Rubber tubing. You can see them wrapped around the lever.

On the fingers, yeah, but I can't tell how the elbows are constructed at that size.

It's the same technique. I just put the lever through another lever base (put it in upside-down and all the way through) before connecting it to the joint lever base. Then added the round brick and then the tube.

Yeah, I agree that Medicham is pretty cool, and you've really captured the design, even the flow of it.
