Do you anticipate them being available in colors other than white?

With that said, it's a laser-sintered nylon powder. Rit makes a dye for synthetics that you should be able to use to dye these parts any color you wish. Shapeways offers the following guide: Post-Processing Tips: Hand-Dyeing Strong & Flexible Plastics I haven't tried it myself, but it apparently is easy and effective.

Not at this time. The material is white by default. If you print it in a color they just print it in white, polish it (which screws up tolerances) and then dye it. I have had very poor results with this material's color options in the past so unless and until they offer to print the entire model in color rather than a color coating I'll only offer mechanical items in this white material.

Sure thing. I also just found this instructable dealing with the same objective.

OK, neck post barbell assortment time! I made 8 new lengths, but the shortest two are too short to actually work, so here are the remaining 6 with example heads to showcase the range of heads that can be made to fit the BFS torso:

I still need to combine the final design aspects for the torso adapters and get some samples printed out to ensure proper fit. Watch for updates in the coming week or two.
For now, I went ahead and put the MALE neck barbells up for order if anyone is interested (note: I replaced the shortest two that didn't really fit anything with new barbells that are now the longest two, so there are still 8 sizes available). These technically will work for female figures as well, but the lower ball on the male neck barbells is larger than the one on the female barbells. The fit into the female neck socket is therefore a little overly tight with these, so I don't know if they will ultimately stretch the female neck sockets out of shape. A set of female neck barbells is coming very, very soon. I just need to order a few samples of them myself to verify fit before I open them up for broader availability. Right now the barbells are $12 for a 32-pack of assorted lengths (about $0.38 each) and to keep part-count-related costs down, they actually come packed in a "crate" you should hopefully be able to make some diorama use of. All for less than the price of a blank. Check them out, and tell your friends! I plan to make some larger-balled Star Wars (and Indiana Jones) compatible barbells in the near future. The problem is that from one figure to the next, the head socket diameter can vary substantially even within the same line. Once I find a common size or two (or three) that tend to fit multiple heads, I'll create another assortment pack along those lines. It will just take time, test prints, and tinkering. If you let me know which heads you are planning to use (and if I have them myself) I can put those at the top of the list to work on barbells for.
