How is he held together?

I don't see any rubber bands.

Hey, it's the invisible man from the TV show.lol The body looks amazing so far, I can't wait to see it in the flesh, tone, that is. How heavy is this body? Nothing is hollow, right?

That is some fine work! Can't wait to get one!

it's held together with white elastic. The torso and pelvis are hollow for stringing. It's maybe a little heavier than a castaway body (but not by much).

That really looks sharp. It really looks like you've covered all the basic issues common to custom bodies, and achieved something megolike, yet improved. Well done.

He looks incredible. Do you have any pix of him in a bodysuit? Since he is built bigger, will he fit into most suits offered by Doc or Castaway?

personally, I'd go with something a little more tailored...

Thanks for the pix. I was wondering how he would look with Doc's more loose suits. He looks fantastic with the tighter tailored suit.

Have you decided if you are going to sell some in the clear resin Bryan?

That looks fabulous. I agree, tailored is the way to go to show off that nice body.

I still like the opaque body. I may get one and just put him in Doc Mego shorts or something.

I'll probably sell one or two in the clear resin.

Thats Awesome I would love to have a bunch of these especially the transparent one. Will they be for sale at mego Meet????

boss
Mar 22, '10, 1:56 PM
^ Cat... I'll add you to the list.

The plan right now is to have a very small quantity for sale at Mego meet. More than likely though they will all be flesh tone and not clear.

Looking Good!! Add me for one or two too!!!

Thanks very much Bryan. The clear one just does it for me. :heart: I was hoping there might be a chance of getting one before I return to Australia to save on those ridiculous postage costs...

Wow, that is cool. Great body. I have to say I LOVE the clear plastic!

If you make one clear with the rivets and all with a generic cubed head, let me know. This would be a perfect Iceman body. I would love to redo my Iceman, this would be perfect!

sorry, I don't have the technology to make the rivets and pins in clear and still maintain the integrity and posability of the body. I want these to hold up as well or better than a factory made toy, so I'm using factory made pins (which unfortunately don't come in clear).

That's cool with me. I'd still be interested in having the clear body. Can you hold or design one for me next week?

If I have enough clear resin, I'll cast one for you.

That would be cool!!!! Can you make a head with that or just bodies? I am trying to do an Iceman figure. My white Iceman is OK but something cast in this stuff would look intense.

JediJaida

Especially if you were to photograph him with a cold light blue backlight. That'd make for a really intense picture.

I molded up a few heads under pressure, but none would be appropriate for iceman... sorry.

don't be too impressed. All I did was cast them.

True, but I found out casting with clear can be tricky.
Looks great!
