NOW THAT'S WHAT I'm TALKING ABOUT!
CONAN...as he was meant to be.
Speaking of Tarzan...
I'd be tempted to use the orig. Mego head on a Zica body.
Maybe make a lepard loincloth from the 'jumpersuit'...or even some brown pleather.
I'd bet that would work...
"...You can capture the Klingon & bring him back to the Enterprise!"
That is awesome!
I saw a thread about modding more muscular arms from wrestling figure on to the Zica body a while back, that might be worth trying out for a Conan.
I have been wanting someone to release a good Conan figure in 1/6 for a long time, but I would think that would be a hard license to get now considering theirs a new movie being made.

The Conan head seems more in scale with the Zica body. BTW, thank God for that slightly larger Zica body. It has bailed me out on a couple of occasions when buying Mego type heads only to find them out of scale with the Dr Mego/Castaway body.
If a Mego figure of God did not exist, it would be necessary for EMCE to invent him.
The Zica body does look better than the Mego for nude figures but I wonder if someone can tell me if the shoulders could be made "bigger"? I assume the shoulder has to fit in the socket of the body but if the hole in the body was also made bigger, couldn't the shoulders also?
The shoulders on so many toys seem to be made smaller than they should but I don't know if there's any kind of limit when considering size and range of motion. Or maybe how their clothes will fit?
I certainly think that there should be a different body for characters that aren't going to be wearing as many clothes. Conan, Namor, etc.
Anyway, I did a little photo-shopping and increased the size of Conan's left shoulder and I think it looks a lot better. I also played around with the head/face once I started playing. Reduced it by 15% in size, gave him a haircut, moved his eyes down as well as reshaping them. I know, it's a tangent but I sometimes can't help myself.

I like the bigger shoulder. That's the only issue I see with the Zica body.

There's a new movie being made? Since when and who's starring in it?

I am very impressed with that Zica body. There's nothing to complain about. Thanks Craig for making it happen!

Thanks Jessica but I can actually see what they're talking about in regards to the small shoulders. Once I finally get the female body finished I'd like to go back and make revisions to the male body.
