I'm double-posting this here to make sure everybody sees it since I know the Mega Bloks thread is basically just me, SunTzu, and BobStrange, lol.
I picked up one of the American Girl singles today, to see how they'd work with 18th adults:
Height-wise, I think she works. Face-wise, I think she's too cartoony but I bet some headswaps from Schleich statues should work. Otherwise, the only negatives are the lack of elbows and the brick-compatible hands. The arms are the rubbery plastic, so it shouldn't be difficult to get another pair of nu-style MB shoulder or elbow joints to bash in to give her elbows and whatever Schleich statue donates a head might be able to donate some hands as well.
The head is a couple mm wider than an 18th woman's typically is, but some heating up should enable the wig to squeeze narrower to work on an 18th adult if you're inclined. Her glasses wrap around her head under her wig, but should be usable as well with some heating to fit.
As she's brick-compatible, she's not quite perfect for our traditional action figure needs, but I'll be damned if there are any better figures of 18th children out there. Although they're pre-pubescent and thus could likely be converted over with some time, effort, and more of them aforementioned Schleich statues; let's hope for some boys in future series.
