      Oh, nice set!

      Just out of curiosity, on Tars Tarkas, did you fuse the two torsos together? And what's the base figure for Dejah Thoris?

      I've been noodling over a similar idea for a couple years . . . one day, I'm gonna finish assembling the parts and get 'em built.

        Just krazy glued the two torso pieces together.
        Dejah was a Zica Yvonne, when I got a few they were too dark for most of what I wanted to do and the arms and legs have a reddish color to them so it made for a good Dejah.

          This is GREAT! I love the set, and that they are from John Carter of Mars. I liked the Tarzan books when I was a kid, so I read John Carter also. Nice figures!
