    Z-Body Production Sample

    The production samples finally arrived today and I wanted to share some pics. Here are some comparison shots of the Z-Body and an original MEGO body. Unfortunately there are some issues that still need to be addressed which means it will not be available before the end of the year.

    That body looks great in a jumpsuit, I'm betting a lot of future custom superheroes will be made with this body

      What issues are you talking about?

      The body looks just fine to me!

      Really makes that Klingon look dangerous in that red suit!

        Other than a few minor cosmetic problems the two biggest issues are with the grip style hands and the feet. The grip style hands are made of hard plastic instead of a flexible material, and the feet should be removable but they're not.

            Ah! I get it!

            Hopefully it will be resolved by Christmas.

            If not, we will wait until January

                Thanks.

                I actually bought the bodysuit about five years ago but I can't remember where from. It's not one I was planning to use for any of my figures but I do like the design so I might consider having it reproduced.

                    That suit looks like early cast-a-way to me. It's one of my favorite designs; I like it way better than the ones they have now. The body looks great, although I worry a little that pelvis design will be prone to camel toe issues.

                      Not to be crass, but... Does the Z body include a "bulge" or is it just look that way from the fit of the jumpsuit?

                        That Klingon must work for UPS cuz he's got a package.
                        It's not a doll it's an action figure.

                          Actually I think you're right because I know it didn't come from Dr. Mego.

                          There's no built in "bulge", it's just how the suit fits.

                            I will take at least a half dozen. Do you think the issues will be fixed to allow sales to start before the end of the year?

                              I doubt it. The Chinese factories are already swamped with work that needs to be done before Christmas so odds are they'll take care of the larger jobs first.
