    Type S Body Price Increase

    Due to increased costs from the factory the price of the Type S body will be raised to $12.00 starting April 1st.

    These bodies are worth every penny paid... I just wished that ZICA/CAT started working in the attachable limbs we were promised (i.e. lizard forearms/hands & calves/feet, Trekkies molded boots/calves, etc.). Also with the heads promised as Kickstart stretch goals.

      What will the discount be for ordering 20?

        20% seems like quite a jump. Sucks that other factories couldn't compete on the work. I think this is the first increase in over two years (or since they were released)?

          You'll still get $3.00 off per body if you order 20 or more.

          Yes, this is the first price increase we've done.

            Am still hoping you offer the body with the new arm and leg upgrades.

              Looking at the body, I have one concern: it looks like the hip joint makes the top of the legs stick out to the side a bit from the crotch piece. Is this how it's actually assembled, or is it just the angle of the shot?

                Will you be getting clear bodies back in stock?

                  The hip joints stick out further than I would like but I've seen this on original MEGO bodies too.

                  Possibly but nothing is planned at this time. It took much longer than expected to sell out of the first run of clear bodies.

                    Will you be getting any more bodies in before the first? I wanted to take advantage of the discount before the price increase but it looks like theres only nine bodies in stock. I would have bought the nine plus some brown and glow bodies to make 20 but it wont let me add 20.

                    Also will the increase inlude the brown and glow bodies?

                    Any chance that the bodies and upgrade kit eventualy match in color?

                    Thanks.

                      An order for bodies was recently placed and the new stock should arrive within the next few weeks.

                      The current stock of brown and glow bodies won't see a price increase.

                      Yes, the next batch of upgrade kits should match the body color much better.

                        I'll ask again, any chance of the bodies being offered with the upgraded limbs?

                          There are no plans at this time to offer the body with the upgraded limbs.

                            Thanks for the info. Seems a common problem with modern versions of the classic body; I likely would have bought Doc Mego out of his type 2's long ago if it weren't for the left hips jutting out a bit.

                              darn, I've been holding out waiting to see if it happened.
