Thank you for the high marks Lukas. The thin waist is a design choice and
accommodates the flex in the spine by not causing a collision between the upper
body and the Technic that connects to the Throw Bot Gear Box. Though, I'd like
it to be a little bigger some how too.

The things I tried interfered with the way the body bends. So I left it lean and
flexible. One day I'll make a spine section with a bunch of ribbed hoses or
something around the "waist stalk".

My nits are, I think the hands are cool, but too small, and not bendy enough.
The feet are cool, but I'd like to have included bending toes.
The shoulders need those grippy clips instead of the regular ones to help make
the splay stronger.

Other than that, I like it, glad you did too.

Keep building.
