I plan on making a custom on one of my Punks by defining his famous promo/shoot.
I need a t-shirt, a microphone but there's one thing I've been trying to do which doesn't work yet : how do we cross the legs ? How can I sit my Punk in indian style ?
Any advice/idea ?
Thanks in advance, regards.

the only thing i can think of would be to pop the legs and glue them in the indian position, but your gonna ruin a good fig by doing so
if your gonna keep it on a shelf and never display it anyother way then go for it, could be cool

Turn them at the thigh joint and bend the knees?

Use a figure with better articulation.

bear in mind you loose like 80% knee articulation with the hard plastic knee pads Mattel use, you may be better off with a pair of jakks elbow pads (the older type) which would give you more knee movement.
I planned on making a custom like that but its a sod to get all the parts together especially here in the UK

Yes, I need to use the All-Stars CM Punk. Will certainly take the kneepads off, you're right about the knee articulation cymru.

Wasn't even thinking of the kneepads actually. If you haven't already swapped them, use the smaller ones that come with Orton, MVP, Miz etc. If you want the knee to be able to bend more, use Sheamus' kneepads. They're not completely accurate since theres no back to them but you can bend the knee around more.

I've got an Orton, I might use it. Not a bad idea, thanks !
Yes, I could also paint the articulations.
Those are great ideas, guys!

You are going to have to use some creative chopping to the back of the thighs and calves to allow for more bend and for the foot to sit right behind the one leg. As well, I'd recommend sculpting the kneepads back on after you get it posed.
I will be doing a Double Lotus version of Eddie Bravo in the next few months, and will just be a trial and error sculpt/chop session.

I wanted to avoid the chopping part but it'd make it more realistic.

Thanks for sharing the pics. Yes, actually, my attempt finally turned out like yours.
I haven't chopped the figures yet, just bended both knees and thighs and it was the best shot I could have.
