yeah they look good,but the skin-tone reminds you that its been switched,hard to ignore.

Preaching to the choir my good man, its why I'm pleading for some help.
I think David Lee of Castaway Toys made a thread where he darkened the skin tones of Mattel figures without any impact to the paint, check it out. Mind you, it doesn't have anything to do with matching Zica bodies, but the technique may still apply.

Say No To Kryptonite!
I know I am new and this might have been mentioned...but does ZICA sell plain bodys to use to customize? The pictures I have seen are sweet!

You know what? I can already tell that I don't like you. And I'm probably not gonna like you no matter how many pull-ups or push-ups you do. All right, anybody who wants to pick on anybody in class, aim for him, 'cause I'm not watchin'. -Kenny Powers

Thanks for tip! The bodies look great....the upper bodies remind me a lot of the GI Joe Classic Collection bodies when they came out with the bigger arms. Very cool!

They are great bodies you will love them.
I heard (but i havent tried it) if you leave a head in pan with a couple tea bags & hot water the head will darken up evenly? thus making it match the Z body better? i guess it would stain the lighter plastic??? i may try it....well...just to try it?
oh yeah i love the zica body and the grip hands (they really do hold everything) wish i could get some in lion rock size!

Amazing how much Zica bodies improved those characters. It's like night and day.
