I also agree about articulation over appearance.
What I like, no, LOVE, about your male body design is how you struck a fantastic balance between the two. IMO, the ZICA male body is PERFECT for a customized Conan, Tarzan or Namor, and what you did with the swivel bicep was GENIUS!
I say, design the female body around that concept and you've got yourself a BLOCKBUSTER!"...You can capture the Klingon & bring him back to the Enterprise!"Comment

I agree with a balance of appearance and articulation.....as long as the elbow and knee joints are refined looking enough"Thats the ticket laddie"Comment

I think articulation and appearance should strike a good balance. The Zica male body is perfect as is. Using that as a guide, a couple of 'lessons' from the male figure are in order: Scale; these should in no way be any taller than the Mego female figures! The crotch; women figures should not have a "package".Comment

I think articulation points come down to good engineering and design. I don't mind seeing joints when they're not jacked. I don't have a problem with male Mego T2 knees, elbows, ankles or wrists showing at all because they're well balanced for the overall body and the dimensions are appropriate. It's not about "hiding" the joint in a body sculpt necessarily, just making it "fit."
Balance is everything.
When discussing male bodies vs female bodies, I would presume equal number of arms and legs = equal number of joints... no?
I like the pics of the female bodies that have the rounded, curvy joints. Those are clever. As long as the design "works" and the pieces fit well together (like the ZICA male biceps) I'm all for articulation. Now having said that, I don't expect to display the figures in contortionist poses - so I'd be happy to trade a little less articulation for something that looks better.Comment
