 ok, so.. you need to keep the SK_manny skinned.

then. select all the same joints and bind your new character. 

and THEN, you can select Manny first. and your new character second and use copy skin weights.

I realized that, I saw some tutorials they were doing that and i thought the skin weight will stay after you unbind the armature. there isn't a single video tutorial about maya in my language. that's a big problem. but I can do it. I only want maya to add new modern UI. anddddddddddd. thank you so much my friend
