Regarding a Mego or Mego-style Conan, how do you think a Conan head would look on a CTVT "deluxe" body? I never had the original Mego Conan or the FTC repro as I was never a fan of the body style - I always thought Conan should be more buff. I'd like to hear other's opinions before I decide to spring for an original, an FTC version, or repro parts and create my own.

It's a good idea, Conan on a deluxe body, but he wouldn't be able to hold anything in those fist hands, and boots don't go on those feet.
Get the green deluxe body and look for a Mego Hulk head, and I think Doc Mego has the Hulk purple pants, then you would have a correct size Mego Hulk, or an orange deluxe body, with a Mugato head and custom white fur body suit, but keep the fist and feet exposed, just a thought. -
Man, *that* is a GrEaT idea! Wolverine is about 5'3...I have been toying around with ideas for his ideal body style for adapting the Diamond Logan to be shorter. I'm tempted to look at splicing the hands and feet on a Hulk-style muscle body. Brilliant!Comment

IMO, Conan looks best featuring the (admittedly scarce) Zica body. When the FTC version came out, some customizers here adapted it to that body.WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.Comment

Thanks for the feedback! Now that I think about it, I'm wondering how much difference in skin tone there would be between the head and the body - looking at pics on the CTVT site, there seems to be a very noticeable difference, but who knows how it'd look in person. Although I'm confident in my ability to have to repaint if deemed necessary, the possible difference in skin tone still concerns me a bit.Comment

THIS! The CTV Conan head is a dead-on match for the ZICA body in skin tone, the outfit fits like a glove and he looks like he stepped out of a Frank Frazetta painting.

It does! And another thing you might consider is that CTVT sells the barbarian belt and wristbands in gold, which also looks very cool.WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.Comment

Not really. The Zica bodies are out of production and scare. Try perhaps a marketplace post for one.WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.Comment

Hello, If you wanna go the Muscley upper body route there is alway the old Flatt trick of adapting a "He-Man chest onto Mego body. Just use the loincloth and belt to hide the waist to hip connection.Comment

In a related vein, my vintage Conan is a hybrid T2 featuring Wee Win's Samson buff torso and upper arms.WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.Comment
