    Clothing For Prototypes

    I'm looking for someone who can make custom clothing for a series of 8" MEGO scale figures. I recently acquired the license to produce figures in this style from a popular TV action series from the late 70's and I need clothing made for the prototypes. A friend of mine is also in need of prototype clothing for 1/6 scale figures so if you can do both sizes there is plenty of opportunity here to showcase your talent. Patterns are also needed because they are required by the factory in China to make the production pieces. Anyone interested must be able to work on a schedule and a non-disclosure agreement must be signed before work begins.

    For anyone interested please contact me directly at craig@zicatoys.com.

    I can't wait to see what you have come up with, dude! It should be very exciting!

    I can't sew for spit myself (at least not on a machine, they scare me to death), besides I'm just learning.

    Good luck with your endeavor; there are plenty of talented people on this forum who might be able to help you out.

            Some of the people you need to talk with are probably gonna be in WV this weekend. BL does some great stuff.
            It's not a doll it's an action figure.

                  Curious, will this be a short term assignment? Potential expansion?

                    A few people have contacted me about working on the clothing and I'm still reviewing those options. At this point I can't say much about the project but I can say if all goes well I plan on doing as much as I can with this action figure scale so yes, there is potential for expansion. I've been fortunate enough to team up with Go Hero who has given me access to several interesting licensed properties. The one big announcement that I would like to make is that I am working on a completely new 8" scale body that pure MEGO enthusiast are either going to love or hate. More on that as it develops.

                        Male for now since there are no women in the first series of figures. If that series does well a female body will be made for the second series.

                            That's true but only the Buster Crabbe versions from the 1930's and 1940's.
