      The colors I would start with first are brown, green, and light blue.

        Alright. You are definately a bearer of good news on all counts! Now I just need to get my wife to show me how to operate her sewing machine this retro-figure customizing thing is addictive! I can't wait to hear what that other un-revealed Zica licensed line is going to be!

          If you're going to learn to sew, I suggest reading the owner's manual in, out, forwards, backwards, and sideways.

          It will tell you all about the kind of tension you need for various types of fabrics, as well as what types of needles to use.

          Keep PLENTY of filled bobbins on hand, and practice, practice, practice!

          Oh, also, if it's an older machine from the 70's, make sure that it's oiled, cleaned and serviced by a professional.

          If it's one of the newer ones that doesn't need oiling, then that's fine.

          Also, ask your wife. She'll be glad to show it off to you.

            It's a newer machine. She has an embroidery machine too. I can't tell you how man times I've thought about pulling the Delta shield off my Star Trek Megos from EMCE and embroidering those on the shirts. If I could just find a program pattern. I'll keep you posted how my crash course goes, provided I don't end up in the Emergency Room, either by self inflicted accident or the beating I get when I break the wife's pride and joy!

                I'm curious, what type of customs would a white body work well for?

                    OK. I'll add white to the list.

                      wonderful. thanks. White would be my choice right after brown ones in terms of the characters that could be made.....

                        Alot of Vampire Characters could benefit from white bodies too! Gotta do female bodies in white, green and blue too. I could see a few Lady Death customs, Orion Slave Girl customs and some female Andorians would be great as well!

                          Not to mention that white could possibly take a dye well and thus be ANY color you want.

                            Once the female body is finished and sales prove to be strong I'll definitely offer it in more colors.

                            Very good point. The only problem is that three different types of plastic are being used on the bodies.

                                I have my MLJ Mr. Justice head ready to be place onto a body. I'm also thinking about making a D'Spayre. They both need white bodies or hands. I hope the hands on the Z bodies can take acrylic paint.
