Thingverse - Opensource Action figures

Recently,  I've noticed fully-3D printed skeleton action figures on Shapeways by a few designers. I was impressed by the durability and anatomical accuracy of the  7" scale skeleton version released on Shapeways by Strangefate.

While it's fun to see non-skeleton, Marvel Legends-esk style articulated 3D figures being made available, I feel it's even better to see open source versions made available on Thingverse

Designer Jason Welsh released both a male and female articulated figure models for download, which might give some assistance to others designing future versions.
