    What he said.

    What's the status of the new body, anyway?

      In the end, she developed to be an amalgam of the Zica Yvonne Body and the Mattel Retro-action female body.

            Thanks Daz and JJ!

            The female body I was developing years ago was based on a bungee tension assembly system that I have since abandoned. My custom 9Art figures now all feature ball joint assembly for solid integrity of the figure and dynamic posing options.

            The Zica "Yvonne" female was a figure that i found to be of exceptional quality. For the sake of scale consistency with the rest of my customs, and anatomical accuracy for the athletic female form, my female archetype became the amalgam you see here.

            She features the stunningly versatile articulation of Yvonne, but with the more properly feminine proportioned arms and legs of the Mattel Retro Action female.

            I engineered a mid-bicep swivel to the Mattel arms and shortened the length of the legs by cutting down the thighs by about 4 scale inches.

            The resulting figure stands EXACTLY 7 inches tall, translating to a real-life young woman who stands 63 inches (5 feet 3 inches) in height in true 1/9 scale.

                              I don't think the hollow MEGO female heads will fit on this neck post. This torso is a ZICA Yvonne, and it has been un-altered in terms of suitable head use. So the heads that will fit here are the Zica type female heads.
                              My good friend Russell Pittman offers a wide variety of female character heads, all of them designed to sit on this neck post.

                              Also, I think that just about any MEGO female head will look over-sized on his body. Mego Female heads tended to look over-sized on MEGO bodies, so I can only assume they will look even worse here since this custom body is smaller that a MEGO female.

                                Are the heads hollow or solid?
