Hi,
Because of my conversation in another thread I was inspired to make a free base mesh for the community. It is free for use in commercial games but please do not resell the base meshes. Of course you can sell any model you make with these meshes though, thats ok. I made two models and they are both fairly low poly, but it would be very easy to lower the counts even more by deleting some of the detail around the feet and hands.

These models are all quads except for some polys on the feet. This makes them easy to subdivide for high res purposes also.

They are offered on my WIP website here:

Here is a shot:
