What about reworking the joints with a stikfas style ball joint?  (Similar to Gregorbian's work on GG bodyguard.)  You'd probably need to butcher at least 2 IG-88's to get it right (assuming you're not going to try casting).

Wow, I can't believe I forgot about Stikfas joints  .  I am a moron.  I just finished stikfas-jointing a Snow Trooper (replaced all of his joints with stikfas ball-joints to see what it would look like).  In doing that I had to dremel down each Stikfas "male" ball-peg so that it was just the ball and a stick (it looked like a small lollipop, if that makes sense) and then I had to dremel down the female ball-socket.  You would probably have to do the same thing for an IG-88 figure.  Aside from the time-consuming nature of that project, I still think the stikfas joints would be a tad too large.  You might have to beef up the arms a bit more and make him an IG-90 or something 

Brent - Man, that Gladiator is AWESOME!  The Dex head on the SSSD Hulk figure is great.  I picked up the Hulk-Wolverine 2-pack for Wolverine and I was planning on doing something with the Hulk figure, but I never got around to it.  I'm glad somebody is using these super-articulated figures for Star Wars customs.  Very well done.

Coleman Trebor - Very nice!  I haven't seen many Coleman Trebor customs, so it's nice to see a well-executed one.  I don't really follow what the problem is with the arm switch - did you cut the Kit Fisto upper arms off of the ball-socket ring and then place them onto Coleman's ball-socket ring?  It's too bad these ball-sockets don't pop out easily when heated  .  Sorry I don't have any idea of how to fix that problem.

Whoa Ron, great sculpting there!  That sculpted jacket looks real!  While I usually try to add more articulation to my customs, if possible, I must admit that the static, mini-diorama-style looks perfect.  Great work as always!

I can't say it enough - I am absolutely floored by your incredible sculpting skills!  Factor in how quickly you've been pumping these out and I am absolutely positive you could get a job at some toy company.  I mean, WOW!

Nice job CHEWIE!  Ever since I saw psychoclonetrooper's version (I think it was him), I've been wanting to make one.  Your version looks absolutely perfect.  The construction looks absolutely "factory" (i.e. seamless integration of parts), and your paint apps are un-freaking-believable.  I've been trying to figure out how you were able to get that weathering to look that perfect, but I'm at a loss.  You truly are the Master of the Drybrush.
Great update!

Nice upgrade ExJedi!  I was going to be "content" with my stock version of Cody, but after I've seen yours, I don't think I'll be able to.  Thanks a lot, more projects on the table  .   

The Biker Scout is now my favorite figure of all time.  A perfect blend of super-articulation and great sculpting raised the bar for all figures for me now. 
...Must resist buying every one that I see...

Wow, he looks fantastic Ron!  I really like that the flight vest is softgoods, nice touch.
