Thread: ZICA Male Body v.2

  1. #1

    ZICA Male Body v.2

    Here is a pic of the WIP prototype. I was hoping to have the finalized version to show but after today's meeting with my sculptor we determined more work needed to be done. We're still trying to figure out the best connecting method for the feet and ankles which is the only area that still needs work.

    As you can see, the new body has vastly improved articulation over the first ZICA body. You'll also notice that there are two upper torso pieces. Theses pieces are interchangeable. One torso piece is for your standard retro style and original Mego heads, the other is for the modern ball and socket type heads. The arms pull out and out and can be popped back in the desired torso piece. If you have any questions I'll be happy to answer what I can.

    HOMERUN!!! This should make customizing much easier. Well done, Craig and thank you so much! Are the muscle body in the works? Also, is this the same dimensions as a Flatt body?

    There is no muscle body in the works but the hardest part is almost over so getting one made should be fairly easy if I'm financially able to do it at some point. I don't have a Flatt body to compare but an original Mego body and a retro Mattel body were used for size references.

    ooohhh... nice. I've got some spiderman outfits that would look good on that.
    Fresh, not from concentrate.

    The interchangable torso is a great idea. If the idea flys, making bulkier (or skinnier) torsos, arms, and legs would make this the ultimate in custom bodies.

    nice work.

    Great improvement over the last one.

    Wow Craig, The new body really looks good so far. Options! I love options. I look forward to seeing it become a reality in the very near future.

    I know that it may be way too soon to ask, but I will do so anyway. Do you have a price point in mind for the new body yet?

    Thanks for sharing the WIP picture.

    Don't have an SRP yet but I'll try to keep it as reasonable as possible. It will definitely be more than the ZICA body v.1 price of $10.00.
