    New 8" Body Teaser Pic

    Well, for lack of a better term here is a teaser pic of the new body. What you're seeing is a rough factory sample but the one they'll send to me should be cleaned up and I'll be sure to post more pics when I have it in hand. It's MEGO scale but as you can plainly see the design is much different. The body is solid and not held together with elastic bands, plus it has improved articulation. The hands are removable so new designs can be swapped out easily. They will also be made of a flexible material to provide a firm grip on weapons and accessories.

    If you have any questions please feel free to ask and I'll do my best to answer.

    That body is a beaut!

    I like it! The whole thing looks nice and tight.

    How's the flexibility? Can it stand up by itself? How much does it weigh? Can the base body be dyed a different color if necessary?

      Is the waist a cut joint, or is there any pivot to it?

        I really like it. I'm not a big fan of that type of leg to pelvis joint, but I'm sure it will look great dressed.

        is there a joint between the shoulder and bicep?

          If by "flexibility" you're referring to how it can be posed it's very flexible. If you're referring to the material it's made of I won't know that until I get an actual production sample. Yes, it can stand by itself. I'm not sure how much it weighs but again, I'll have to wait on a production sample to find out. I'm not sure if they body can be dyed or not but if it sells well it will be made available in different colors.

          The waist can be turned from side to side.

                  Well, count me in for at least a dozen. Or two (got a HUGE list of customs to make, y'know). Nice work!

                  ETA: Let me know how many it takes for you to whip up the female body. If the quality of the sculpt is as good as the pic you've posted... well, expect LOTS of orders, dude!

                  "It's sad that governments are chiefed by the double tongues. There is iron in your words of death for all Comanche to see, and so there is iron in your words of life. No signed paper can hold the iron. It must come from men. The words of Ten Bears carries the same iron of life and death. It is good that warriors such as we meet in the struggle of life... or death. It shall be life."

                            I love it! The compatible neck hole with Megos is going to make this body very popular with customizers. Can't wait to order a case!

                              Trust me when I say that a high quality product is top priority with me. That coupled with the fact that I'm a perfectionist pretty much guarantees I'll do my absolute best on these bodies.

                              I'm already gathering reference material for the female body design but the only way it will get produced is if the sales of the male body and Buck Rogers figures are high enough to justify it.
