Schweet. Really cool feet/legs. I’ve been trying to figure out something similar for awhile - you’re giving me some good ideas. And the arms are pretty nice - how much range of motion does that pull off?

Without the round 1x1 brick or cone, they’re very flexible. If you put a head on top of a 5-stud brick and put these arms on the sides, the guy can salute or even drink a cup of coffee. While the round pieces look very nice, I’d guess that they greatly reduce the range of motion.

And though they hang very loosely on a skeleton, they hold really well on the lever ball. I did this on a nanofig-scale ship a couple of years back:
