    That will work. Thank you for your prompt reply as well. I may have posted this question on another forum that I belong to so I hope that I am not being redundant to you.

        That would be awesome. Finally a choice. Glad to see people thinking outside the box for a change.

            Unfortunately they're not ready yet but for good reason. After putting the last production sample under extreme scrutiny I found two areas that I thought still needed work. One was a minor modification to the upper body, and the other was a complete overhaul of the legs. The factory is working on the changes now and the bodies will be shipping at the same time as the Buck Rogers figures which should be around April.

              The last bodies looked good to me - you're pretty particular. Kudos for not rushing it out.

                Yeah, I'm pretty much a perfectionist which will either help me or kill me in this business.

                  CTVT has already proved that rushing crappy bodies can kill a business, so kudos to you for wanting a quality product

                    Actually by saying "kill me" I was referring to myself physically since this business can get very stressful at times. However, I also agree that rushing things is definitely not the way to go.

                      Oh heavens! Please don't rush on my account! I'm perfectly willing to wait until April. It will be closer to my birthday then.

                      I'd rather have quality figures that will last, rather than quantity which will fall apart due to being stared at too hard.

                        The changes that are being made are purely cosmetic. I was very impressed with the quality.

                            Can't wait for the bodies to be available, looks like they may be better than Mattel's

                                I have to admit I was really not interested in seeing yet another body made given all we have to choose from.

                                With that said - i'm impressed. As was mentioned before, I would love to see the Mego style waist joint for some articulation there, but I'm pretty impressed overall. Strong, but not too buff. Will make for some good superheroes.

                                I do worry how the suits you're making will fit on the vintage stuff given the body is slightly larger...

                                Can't wait to see the final product!
