For skinny figures like that I build my own simple tree supports (that I make in Blender). That's the only way I could get them printed. Then I use a hot tool to cut the trees in half and dykes to clean up each end. (If you go straight to dykes the dykes will force the two pieces apart and end up splitting the model.)
Did I upload my Gungan Rider model with supports?

A hot knife is on my list. What brand/model do you use?
You did post the rider with supports. The print looked awesome, once I scaled it properly. Again, my lack of patience and finesse (and a hot knife) sabotaged my efforts. I actually took that one off my list after finding some of the "official" ones on CoolStuffInc.

Ah, I was thinking of a "specialized" tool. I might have something like that. It might have some of the different tips, too. Thanks!
