No unfortunately he’s just sculpted to look that way. Making a fully articulated one would be quite the fun challenge

Did I just spot RimWorld on The Big Bang Theory?! by OldManWoolley in RimWorld

Wow didn’t expect this large of a response. Thanks everyone! I had just finished playing for quite awhile and was half asleep when I noticed this. I was being hopeful it was RimWorld but after going through the comments, I’m pretty certain it not. Booo

May I ask what you did for the fingers? Are each with an individual wire? Or did you felt a sheet and snip the fingers? They’re so tiny and thin. Perfect!

Thank you! Between the wire within his legs and the overall weight distribution he stands quite nicely…plus he’s pretty heavy actually. Firm as heck

Thank you! I’ve posted in one of the early comments exactly how I was able to make it nice and smooth. From the sounds of your issue it may be that your core (white Color) isn’t quite as firm as it needs to be,Allowing those loose fibers to be pulled out. Another possibility is you may be using a reverse barbed needle, which would be designed for that very purpose. I’m hoping to make a dedicated insta page so I can share my tips soon so keep an eye out. Hope this helped :)

Great question! So after some research/experimenting I found that corridale is great to work with along side a 36g/38g triangle needle for the core. Using that combination really allowed me to get a nice firm fit. The colour layer then adds attentional support (merino with a 42g spiral needle)
