I let things sit for a couple of weeks while I did some real-world stuff so I don't have any new stuff in-hand yet. However, I do have an order in process for the first attempt at female adapters, an array of various neck barbell lengths to find the best ones for different heads, and a dozen or so variations of the waist "cup" to try to find one that works correctly "out of the box." Assuming one of those cup variants works, I'll have a fully working male adapter design within a week or two. I could make neck barbells available at any time, but I can't offer recommendations for length until I test the new lengths.

I had so much anticipation for this batch of test parts that the shipping time felt like it took an eternity, but my latest shipment is finally in! And the news...is good. So good.
I'll post pictures hopefully later on today. Prepare yourselves!

Brilliant!
Awesome idea to try and give the Boss 7 MJ figures a little more choice and life. The new ball necks are just perfect.

Here are some photos. First up, it seems as though I managed to nail the female adapter right out of the gate:
Though, admittedly, I made a series of progressively shorter torso pegs because I wasn't certain of the correct height to use: Turns out, it's the second longest. Now you know! Next, the MTF-legs-on-Joe-waist piece seems to have come out nicely as well (though I need to increase the hip ball diameter just a tad for better grip): And third, I also found the correct peg height and ball diameter for the MTF torso ball (when using a MTF body with either Joe or BFS legs): Once again, I had to craft a series of peg heights in each of two possible ball diameters in order to get the right fit: I also have a set of 8 different neck barbell lengths that I need to do test fitting and photography for, but the assortment should allow pretty much any head to be used on a BFS body now as long as it uses a "standard" Joe-sized neck ball. Last but not least (and also not pictured, because it wouldn't make much sense to look at), I made an assortment of 45 different variants of waist "cups" for the BFS torso adapter and I have found the very best possible fit that should work just perfectly both for male and female torsos. So with these new parts, I have the correct formulas to make complete adapters in pretty much every direction. I need to make some final adjustments to the models, order a test batch of the final product to make sure it's correct, and then I can start putting these out for you guys to enjoy.
