Do you like our old body suits or our new body suits

[gaga4toyz]

We're working with a new clothing factory to make some new body suits. Do you like the old style ones we made or do you like the new ones? Do you prefer the shiny suits or the flat ones?

[JediJaida]

I think the old ones are okay, but we can always use new ones.

I like the flat kind myself.

Sure, shiny is cute and everything, but it's not really my cup of tea.

[jacsfc]

i really like the new suits. non shiny. i would like to see more colors. ie. dark green, light green, orange, purple, lt purple tec.

Can you post a pic of both. I've never ordered one so maybe my opinion isn't what you want anyway.

[Jerry68]

I would like the old suits better. They do not have the seem across the chst right? If you could post pics I think that would help. Evenif we had the option, that would be great. I love your stuff, keep it comng.

ZICA is using our old body suit for it's comparison shot.

One thing: They're a bit tight going up over the thighs, and the sleeves are too tight to put over a pair of hands.

I have to pull the hands off of my Castaway bods in order to get the danged suit on!

[Jerry68]

I like the older suits much better. I think I would use them a lot more! I know I would!!!!!! How long will it take to get the older suits made? I have a bunch of customs in the ( I need suit stages)

I didn't buy either of the 2 styles of suits. The lack of feet covering and the seam at the chest kept me from the new ones. The turtle neck kept me from the earlier ones. For me, I'd buy a standard one piece jumpsuit with feet and no collar. Basically like Mego's Riddler suit minus the screened on question marks... in an array of colors (essentially a DM style suit with a better fit). I'd also buy Mego Batman style with the shorts sewn in. For material, I love the stuff used on Captain Action and Phantom - flat not shiny. I've been waiting for someone to make these style of suits forever. DM suits were close and CTVT was a disaster. If done right, I'd buy a boatload. I'd probably pass on other styles.

[PNGwynne]

^ Exactly.

[BlackKnight]

I don't mind the Turtle Neck ...,
The funky V thing is interesting ....

[SeattleEd]

I guess I would go for flat and old. Like the turtleneck design.

[SUP-Ronin]

I like options. Bring on both, Shiny and Flat. Castaway hands come off easily so that doesn't bother me a bit.

[EMCE Hammer]

Exactly what Ron said. I've used some of your new suits, but they are too much like sock material for my tastes. I preferred the old suits, but the turtleneck limits how they can be used.

So, old suit material, lose the turtle, at least on some of them.

[thunderbolt]

Flat colors and I like the Captain Action patterned style of the suit on him and the Phantom. Keep them tighter, I don't really care about being able to remove them once on a figure.

[bobbait]

i dont know.

[David Lee]

Ok recapping here:

Flat (matte) material
With and without turtle neck
Tight

Got it...

So what about?...

Sewn in shorts (various colors, black, red etc...)
Feet
Colors

I would buy a gray suit with black trunks and one with blue trunks for Batman customs.

[thunderbolt]

never been a fan of sewn in shorts, on customs I do them as a sepperate piece to give the figure more depth in the costume. Maybe do single color suits and single color trunks so people can mix and match.

That would be my suggestion as well

[SciFiGuyLA]

More colors. I would definitely like to see more colors, not just for the suits, but for everything.

[SeattleEd]

Third on this as well.

Also, yes more colors or at least more black since the gloves and boots sell out fast.


That would be my suggestion as well

[boss]

I like the sewn in shorts look if they are a different color. If the body suit is all one color... not so much.

I agree. If the suit is tight fitting, the shorts shouldn't bunch up too much. This gives lots more color options since you can have the suits in a few colors and the shorts in a few colors, but have tons of combination.

I would go this way too.

[PNGwynne]

Mixing & matching is much more practical for sales of trunks & bodysuits, but I like the sewn-in look like vintage Mego...

[spiderman67]

sewn in shorts.gives that mego feel!:smile:

[almitysufx]

There are obvious suits that would sell with sewn in briefs. Grey/black, grey/blue, blue/red, offering a limited selection of suits with sewn in briefs might be a great way to go. Then do solid suits and make some multicolored briefs as well. I am more a fan of your older suits, but never liked the turtle neck, but I would make the suggestion that you keep the neck opening close to the neckline. I've seen other suits that have a really wide neckline and they just don't look good. Oh, and flat colors.
I don't know why I'm even commenting though, I've never bought a bodysuit from anyone and I've been makin customs for 10 years

[thunderbolt]

sleeveless tunics would do well, too. Like a green one over a black bodysuit. Not sure how close you can come with sewn in trunks and not have DC breathing down your neck. Seems like a mix and match thing with individual pieces would be the better way to avoid problems.

[SeattleEd]

Are there any of the current ones you have left for sale?

[roman]

non shiney suits. just do more colors is all

[Corellian Corvette]

I think it would be smart to try a few of hte sewn suit styles and see how the work out. Grey/Black and Blue/Red - I would give them a try!

[gootie29]

The original turtle necked design looks pretty nice but I think that most people want a collar-less look for super-heroes. The high neck of the original design would be great for Daredevil, Bullseye, and Capt America but most heroes and villains could be done with a low neck like Superman, Batman, or The Riddler. MEGO heads for cowled characters tend to have painted necks like Spiderman and wouldn't really need the high neck anyway.Trunks sewn in would be great for restoring a Mego but it seems more economical to offer suits and trunks separately.

[nubee]

I prefer solid suits and separate shorts for customizing. How about capes? No one mentioned capes yet?

[CaptainTrenchcoat]

Definitely need capes. In multiple colors and styles. Looking for a grey Batman shaped cape myself.
