 From collating the responses so far, and my own thoughts on it, I'm 
starting to lean towards partly pre-assembled limbs with pre-cast 
pose variations available, but still with enough flexibility to allow 
some custom pose variation during assembly.

It would be, but at this stage I won't be going that route -  I no 
longer have resin facilities in-house, and I don't want to be dealing 
with contract casters (for lots of reasons - reliability, time 
delays, cost etc)
