So the rough plan RN is that I have a 3d model with a hollowed out torso to use as the base, with magnets inside as space allows (discussions of a LED screen are being discussed, we'll see if that'll happen and how much room it'll take up). That's all gonna be a bit, but where I'm stuck right now is the joints.

While the attachment points will likely end with magnets on either end so I can swap them out, my plan was to have the joints be ball-hinge joints (similar to shoulder joints on an action figure) to allow for full range of motion. However, to match the look of the film with its oscillating energy between the sections, I'd LIKE to have those joints be clear so I can paint the energy lines by hand on top of them. The problem is that the Hobby Base joints that most closely resemble what I'd like, the "Ball shape joint" do not appear to come in clear plastic.

Does anyone here know of a joint set I can use?

The easiest way would be to make the central part of the mech out of metal, so that the magnets can attach wherever you want. Perhaps a hollow metal ball as the base, with some modeling around it? Or maybe place strips of metal just underneath your sculpt.

Another way to go is to hide strong magnets underneath the sculpt at specific areas where you want the limbs to attach.
