You can use the old Throwbot gear boxes. Two put together and then click in
a technic beam on one end. My Q model uses this in the legs and hips giving
it slender and strong legs. Someone suggested to me that the design would
benifit an EVA greatly. Hold on one sec I'll find a link...

Okay I made this pic real quick for you. It shows an elbow, but it's the
same idea. I made the joint white. See where the technic brick clicks into
the wrist area? That's the key to making the leg longer. You can put a 1x16
there as well. It's super strong, however you'll only get about 45 degrees
if movement.

This is not such a bad solution either. Though the click hinges will
seperate from the leg if not supported properly.

Nothing beats Brickbay for click hinges. I just bought 300 pair for $30. You
can't go wrong with that. They are going for about .05 for each side.

I'd love to see some skeleton type bodies.
Good Luck,
