I'm wondering how to make a quick and easy ball and socket armature. Possibly one with not many tools.

Haven't a clue

thats helpful. anyone else?

easiest to do is buy one at www.animationsupplies.net/

we would all love to know that one!!!! im afriad theres no quick way apart from buying them and they are expensive

yes they are. You could buy all the parts and solder them together however saving up and buying one is the best if you really want one

This old thread might help
