    I think it is a Cygirl body. The new one I'm expecting isn't, but it's similar.

      I use the Basic Uploader too, but I usually modify my pictures first. If you take a picture and upload it, unmodified, depending on how you took the picture, it will upload sideways. I found this to be true with other online systems too, even though it opens in the right orientation on my computer.

        Always did like those; they remind me of Megos a lot.

          It wasn't a Cygirl body. The skin tone was WAY too pale, the legs were spindly and skinny and the whole thing just isn't what I wanted.

          I consider this a fail.

            Kumik or Poptoys, likely. Anorexic and not Mego-like at all.

              ROTFL!
              Take the picture with my iPhone XS
              Post to FaceBook Custommego/MegoMania/Mego Ambssador page, they post correctly ( orientation & size)
              Take same picture try to upload here through the Basic Uploader: If I'm lucky, all it will do is rotate it. If the uploader is truly ^$%$#^&&$^# that day, then it will upload it rotated and as a thumbnail size.

              The only way I've gotten to get it to "work" with the basic uploader is to take my pictures, copy them over to my Mac from the iPhone,
              open them in Photoshop, save them back to the hard drive as jpgs, and then upload through the web browser on my iMac,
              by passing my iPhone entirely.

              so sorry, I'm not seeing the "all online systems" do this, but I'll concede YMMV due to different Phone type/ Device used to take pictures and upload to here.
              For me, No thanks, I'll just stick to Facebook.....

                Well, you did quote & bold my text where I said, "I found this to be true with other online systems too", so obviously, I never said "all online systems", but as you correctly said, YMMV.

                  I bought the full WW figure and a female body and Supergirl head for a custom. The WW head looks OK. Not fantastic but a little flat on both sides. The Supergirl head was NIGHTMARE to get on the body and the head is very flat on the sides. Like noticeably so. Not sure what I will do to fix it. Maybe a dip in hot water and then put it in a pair of vice grips, front to back, to even out the shape of the head.

                    You mean the 12" scale FTC both *WW head and the *Supergirl heads? The head shape (especially the Supergirl?) AND the changability are both challenging?

                    Grrrr.
