This amigurumi pattern is highly customizable, and will give you a male action-figure-type body that you can turn into pretty much any superhero, action hero, football player, you-name-it that you like.

The body can be worked with any worsted weight yarn -- you’ll need 75 g or so. When it comes to adding hair, clothing, a cape, or any other embellishments you can dream up, the sky’s the limit! This is a great pattern for using up scrap yarn. It’s a little tricky, but I’ve tried to give detailed directions and suggestions to help you along.
