Molecule 8 and their 1/6th scale figures with actual steel skeletons seemed pretty revolutionary when they announced in 2017:

The company announced major licensing acquisitions with likenesses for John Lennon and Gene Wilder in his role as Willy Wonka. All toys were to feature the endoskeleton along with multiple head sculpts, accessories and wardrobe items:

Molecule 8's goals were lofty and the follow through was more miss than hit, thanks to some very questionable business practices:

I don't collect 1:6 figures, so I cannot comment on how successful Molecule 8 was with the delivered product. Reviews appear to be mixed for sure:

I think I recall first reading about Molecule 8 here, but I can't seem to find the article, hence the multi-sourcing above. I'm not sure if I imagined seeing the news on the Ark, or if the content was scrubbed because of collectors leveling accusations of scam and impropriety at Molecule 8's founder, Vijay Chadha.
