Some of the figures have built-in "Stretch Arms" and "Stretch Legs" morphs; they're meant for just normal human height variations but you can blow out the values and get them really long. It's not quite as fluid as Mr. Fantastic's stretching usually is, and it'll only have the normal human joints, but if it's going behind an object it's an easy way to fake it.
Other than that, I haven't tried it, but it's something I've thought about a bit. This might work, depending on your skill with Photoshop (or equivalent graphics software). Position your Mr. Fantastic character, and hide the lower part of his arm. Load another copy of him, position it where you want his lower arm and hand, hiding all but those parts. Render, and fill out the gap in Photoshop.

Do you have any more info on Stretch Arms and how I can get extreme values for them?
I am currently working on a new 3D version of an older airbrush painting I did that requires four snake-like arms. Here is my original airbrush painting so you can see what I am trying to achieve in DAZ.

They're usually found on the figure when it loads; Michael 3 and David 3, for example, load with them. You can enter any value you like (although it may cause strange effects on conforming clothing as it gets larger).
Michael 4 has similar attributes under MorphForms with different names -- LegSize, PalmSize, etc. They have a limit of 1, but you can edit the property settings (at least in DazStudio) to turn off limits. You can also select the limb in question, choose "Show Hidden Properties" (again in DazStudio) and alter the size there -- such as lengthening M4's forearm by increasing the X-scale. I just did a little testing, and this seems to work reasonably well with conforming clothing.
With Genesis, it's pretty much the same deal as Michael 4. Look for the morphs under different bodyparts -- Neck Length, Arms Length, etc. -- and edit the property settings to turn off limits. Show Hidden Properties and select a part to alter its scale individually.
You'll probably have to do some tweaking here and there and some postwork to clean up any poke-through that results or other oddities, but it's a starting point.
SUPERB!
Isikol, You are still the standard as far as I'm concerned.
I hope you stopped the pirates from stealing your work!
That's actually a traditional Japanese weapon known as a [ur;=http://images.wikia.com/tmnt/images/2/25/2190900-kusarigama.jpg]Kusari-Gama, although the skill mastery is fundamentally the same as for nunchaku and other eastern chain weapons (like the Manriki-Gusari).

Yeah, I might try to get some of those products over here to Daz, but for the most part they were at Renderosity because they were Renderosity caliber products.
That in mind, I'd be happy to sell you any of my former Renderosity products for half of what they listed for there. The only exception being the items that had previously been listed for $5. Those are still $5 (as a matter of personal dignity, I just can't bring myself to make their official list price $2.50).
Just send me an email or a pm here at daz, I'll send you a bill through paypal, and upon completion of payment, I'll make your files available for you via dropbox.
Any of my products that contained textures or materials did not include the equivalent presets for daz studio and would require you to take the texture maps and adjust the material settings on your own. So, before making any purchases, I would encourage you to do a google search for joequick and the title of the product. This should bring you to the discontinued product page for that item. I would look over it one last time.
What happened? Where'd your items go? There were still a few I would have been interested in getting...
LOL, too funny!
One I was playing around with earlier. Both genesis.

Any inquiries about renderosity's rationale should be directed towards StaceyG. Otherwise, I'm telling you how you can purchase my items.
I actually had some words with said person,
Joe what are the chances of you finishing the Fly Boy Set now?
Still have the Jacket and its still awesome!

Fair enough!
So... is there any way to see what possible items we could purchase from you now? I hadn't had a chance to visit your store in a while, so I'm a bit fuzzy as to what the most recent release was. I recall the M3 facial morph pack (which ought to work well with Genesis and GenX now, shouldn't it?) and a female morph pack or two. And some fantasy creature morphs too...
M4, V4 and K4 Duckies (M4 other beaks, K4 other beaks)
There were the m4/v4 headmorphs, Extraordinary Men and Extraordinary Girls
Faces of Fantasy
Brutes, Bruisers, Thugs and Tough Guys
The K4 Alien Force, Overbrain, Alienforce M4, and AlienForce Epic Heroes and Villains
Golden Age
M4 and V4 Trench Coats
Cyber Arms and Full Metal Bodysuit
M4V4 Starter Meshes and Genesis Starter Meshes
There was also an older pack of v4 headmorphs that I'll throw in with any purchases of ExtraordinaryGirls and K4 basesuits that I'll throw in with 4evrGen4
Seasonally correct X-Men rendering:
Darn, I was very interested in getting the M4 Trenchcoat, Joequick. Any chance you'll be bringing that over to Daz? I'd buy it from you through PayPal, but I don't use PayPal at all, I've been hacked one too many times.
SUPERB!

No, Sorry. From this point forward I'm just focused on new product.
It's been weeks since I haven't rendered and now I just finally finished one :D
my own version of Wonder Girl (Cassie)
Speaking of your products, whatever became of those amazing ninja turtles you were working on?
They're up on his ShareCG page.

Oh, and what exactly is your new project? I haven't seen you post any of those nifty previews :)
(Btw, great work guys on all the latest renders. Love coming back to such amazing artwork after being away ^_^)
There's a link to my tumblr page in my sig. Lots of images there.
I wish there was an easy way to get a good Superman out of Genesis. I've been playing around with the Genesis Supersuit, but just can't seem to bend it to my will yet. Certainly not well enough to reconstruct the man (or woman) of steel. If you've nailed it, answers on a postcard folks! I'm all ears.
ok well maybe not a hero

Joe how about the fly boy set, I think that would have been an amazing product when completed
could even be great for genesis
Thank you for that by the way
Northstar concept...
Anyone know of a really good cape for m4.
Batcape is available at http://www.realmofsavage.com/ProjectBatman.htm for M4
I have that one but had actually forgotten about it., Thanks.
I was looking for one a little more dramatic
My thanks to Isikol.
We learn by watching.
We learn by doing.
Has anyone seen or heard any word on the Darkseid character, I can't remember who was doing it.
