    Converting a Zica female to fit a Mego head

    I came up with a way to make a Mego female head fit on the Zica body and thought I'd share. If you have a Dremel it's pretty easy to do.

    First draw a line where you want the head to sit on the neck post.

    Second using the tool shown I put a grove along that line.

    Third using the next tool I sanded down the top of the neck post so the head could fit over it and settle around the grove.
    I did have to make the neck hole in the Mego head a little bigger. At this point it's trial and error to get the neck hole just big enough to fit snugly on the neck post. Once it's on it will still turn just like it would on a Mego body.


    Better late than never.....

    Nice way around that issue of the neck post being too big. I may have to try this!

          Nice. Great tip. The only thing left is to get the colors to match. Can the Zica bodies be dyed to match the Mego skin tone?

            ^^ There's a significant color different between the first (pale) and second (tan - closer to T2 Mego bodies) releases of Yvonne too.

              I recently bought a few Yvonne bodies and they matched the CTVT heads skintone pretty close.

              I did a review of the different female bodies and posted the video on my Facebook page.
