ZICA Female Body

[ZICA]

Just wanted to let everyone know that work has officially started on the ZICA female body. The really good news is that all of the prototype development is being handled here in the US by a company who also does work for Mattel and Hasbro. I recently visited them to go over all of the details on the female body and was extremely impressed with the quality of work that I saw when I was given a tour of their facility.

Development on the female body should go much faster than it did on the male body since there is no language barrier to contend with and I'm able to have face to face meetings. As soon as I have a prototype in hand I'll be sure to post pics.

Right on!

Craig, will be the same height as the male?

USA! I'm no fan of out-sourcing.

[SeattleEd]

^^^ Ditto! Anything to get it done in the USA unless the company in question is an overseas company based in the USA?

Right on!

Craig, will be the same height as the male?

I gave them a reproduction MEGO female body to use as the height reference.

Looking forward to seeing the prototype!

Can't wait to see how well Wilma fills out her spacesuit.

Awesome! Go USA! If production of the Female Z-Body goes well, I wonder if this company could produce more of the Male Z-Bodies? It would be great for a fast turnover of new figures from production to match that lightning speed that Craig was able to get those Z-bodies mailed out when they came in. Anyhow, I'm definately looking forward to seeing the progression of these!

The company here in the US only does prototyping, not production. The bodies will still be manufactured in China. The male body was prototyped in China which is why it took so long to get it made. Most of the time I had to wait 24 hours to get a response, sometimes longer. With the female body I can simply make a phone call or drive to their shop and go over things face to face.
