    Do Teen heads fit on normal bodies?

    I am looking at creating Punchline... Joker's new girlfriend and I am trying to figure out if teen heads fit on the 8 inch bodies because the tarzan female teen head fits perfectly for her hair.

    Also what does and doesn't fit for the Zica bodies? Do normal female mego heads fit on them? Do normal clothes fit?

    The Tarzan female teen head will fit a normal Mego body. Her face would need to be repainted to appear less doll-like.

    Zica bodies are not compatible with Mego heads without modification. They can wear most Mego clothes for normal bodies, except for the footwear. Zica feet are wider and have weak ankle joints.

      would the newer rubber male boots from FTC work for Zica? I never understood making a new figure that was not compatible with anything and then no accessories. What are all the horsey people putting on the figure?

        Male boots will fit, but they'll look clunky. He needs something like Invisible Girl boots for his character. Perhaps boots from one of the Lion Rock Russian soldiers would work.

        Horsey people often pull the feet off before putting the boots on.

          Thanks for the help. I actually decided to use a mattel body... the teen heads have too big of an opening correct? Do Zica heads have a smaller opening to be used on the mattel body?

            Yeah, this approach works just fine. The feet thing is not nearly the problem in practice as it sounds in theory.

              Zica heads have a smaller opening that really only fits Zica bodies.

              I'm not sure about the Mattel bodies. All of mine are temporarily packed away.
