      Thanks for the review! I don't know the others around here but when a new Mego Like body is launched at the market, I am always particular about how it is built and how compatible would be to other Mego like bodies. I guess there is a little of Dr. Frankenstein in me... This tutorial is wonderful and I'll be ever grateful to you because in my life I would have teared apart a wonderful ZICA body just to find out how it was built...

      So, again thanks a bunch. Ah, and IMHO I think the original Zica Body arms would look nicer in your Thor figure than the exagerated wrestler arms. Somebody here had posted a picture of the Mego Thor transplanted to a ZICA body and it looks wonderful. Their muscle definition and size as well as the arm length look more natural. Not that those you assembled to your figure look bad but a bit less natural.

        Very gutsy move taking that apart. Nic job on the post. I think the bigger shoulders look great, especially for a Batman, Superman type of character. Craig, Perhaps you could tool up some bodies with those type of arms? I know start up costs are big, but it really compliments your figure. Just a thought. I still love the way the Zica body moves, it feels real sturdy.

          It's something I'll look into later down the road but right now all of my attention has to be focused on Buck Rogers and getting a female body made.

              Hopefully before this Christmas.

              I can't wait to see how Buck and Tigerman turn out.

                I think I'm going to try swapping the arms for a Bret Hart custom I'm planning. This tutorial is just one of many reasons why this Forum is such a great place.
