    She's here! She's finally here!!!

    I got my two ZICA gals in the post today, and am just about to take one out of the packaging.

    WOW! Her head is smaller than a vintage Dinah mite!

    The arms pop out easily, as does the head and upper torso for a booby switch.

    Barbie flats do NOT fit her feet!

    Her hair is nice and straight, and is easily put into a pony tail.

    Bad points? Her feet tend to flop a bit at the ankle, and she is MUCH paler than the original ZICA male body.

    Due to the size difference between heads, she isn't QUITE 8" in height; more like 7.75" in height.

    Overall, she's great!

    BUT beware of the teeny hands folks! Get some teensy baggies for craft supplies and pop the extras into it if you don't want to lose everything!

      Just got my two delivered as well. Yay! Thanks Craig, they look great. I'm at my office so I'll have til I'm home to try out some clothes and such. For those that didn't preorder (or preordered late) be patient they are worth the wait. We just need more heads...

      and clothes.

              Thanks!

              I'm going to let more people post their impressions before addressing some of the issues that are being brought up. Also, I'm getting a quote from the factory on bodysuits so hopefully I'll have those available before the end of the year.

                Love her!





                The poseability is amazing!

                I was able to swap Cheetah's head. Its not perfect as you get a little bit of giraffe neck, but its pretty good. Famous Cover female heads work very well as you can swish them down the neck post a bit more.

                The trigger hands are awesome and work really well.

                    Damn Craig. That is a sweet figure. What is the plug like on the neck? How much customizing is needed to switch out Retro figures? Once again you set the standard my man. This is quality all the way.

                      Thanks Tom! The neck post on the torso has a ball connector and the head simply pops over it. Unfortunately the retro figures probably won't work well with it due to incompatibility issues with the head connection. The Mattel Wonder Woman and Cheetah heads will fit but as you can see the result is a noticeable giraffe effect.

                        No worries. If you dremel down the neck it would most likely eliminate the giraffe neck. I'll give it a shot when my figures arrive.
                        If a Mego figure of God did not exist, it would be necessary for EMCE to invent him.
