Chiye Studio’s David male body is a 16 cm 1/12 action body built for custom work — a plain base body with a deep hand set, a katana and a pistol, and the joints and spares a kitbasher actually reaches for.

The body

The box starts with the David base body and nine pairs of hands: fists, open palms, two styles of relaxed hands, weapon-holding hands for gun and knife, rock-on hands, finger-gun hands and gripping hands. The weapons are a katana and a pistol with cocking and magazine-swap simulation, and the spares include a neck extension joint, two replacement shoulders, two shoes and an instruction manual.

Version note: on the skin-tone, yellow and brown versions the weapons and shoes are painted; on the white and gray versions they are solid-color, for a cleaner overall look.

Availability

Bombusbee lists the David male body in stock at $29.94 (listed 23 October 2026). There is no pre-order cutoff — it is a stocked item, so availability is whatever the listing shows at order time. Product photography via Bombusbee.

Why it matters

A good 1/12 blank body is a workhorse: the nine hand pairs and the weapon-holding options cover most display poses without raiding other figures’ boxes, and the neck extension joint plus replacement shoulders solve the two fit problems that usually stall a custom build. At under $30 in stock, it is an easy second body for the parts drawer.
