      Hi Craig,
      Will the new arms be similar in size to the arms on the original Cast-A-Way body?

        I don't have an original Cast-A-Way body to compare them too but just guessing I'd say they won't be quite as big, specifically in the bicep/tricep section.

          Finally received some samples from the factory and wanted to post these comparison pics. Unfortunately there's still some minor tweaking that needs to be done but I'm expecting production to start within the next few weeks.

              The upgrade looks awesome! Can I ask what the needed tweaks are? I look forward to them being released!

                      The legs don't fit the the pelvis joints as tightly as I would like them too so the factory is making the necessary adjustments.

                            Looks good.

                            Are the hips a little different? The suit you used seems to fit the new body more comfortably than the old body, where the hips seem to protrude a tad too much for some undie on the outside wearing figures. edit: It looks like the added length, not the hips, that are giving the used suit a better fit.

                            The new limbs look like they make the body taller too. That might be an issue for those of us that like to swap out FTC figures over to Type S bodies.

                              I compared the height of both bodies and they look the same to me. If the upgrade kit makes the body taller it's only by a hair.
