    I like the new body. I'm going to try and print a head that works with the neck post.

          I also might try to make an adapter to let the new heads work on the original Mego bodies, so it can come around full circle.

            Do you know if any of those plugs would work with a Mattel head on an S-body?

              Excellent again, I'm sure a lot of customizers have wondered about that. too. I like to use vintage bodies in my customs.

                The Mattel heads pretty much work as-is on the type-s body.

                    Excellent to know. I've already used the two type-s bodies I've got, and haven't had the chance to try the Mattel heads with them yet. Can't wait until the 8-inch superstore is back up and snag a few more.

                      Yes, the interior shot of a cow or a nuclear reactor would have been less helpful.

                                Hey Paul, can you make these in clear for the invisible man head?
