    Jerks beef with Ten Bears
    • Mar 15, 2008
    • 1959

    Shouldn't be too hard to customize a resin head - sand off the plug, use a Dremel to make a hole for the ZICA peg, and done. As for re-using rubber/vinyl heads, order repros from Dr. Mego and/or CTVT, then hack away.
    "It's sad that governments are chiefed by the double tongues. There is iron in your words of death for all Comanche to see, and so there is iron in your words of life. No signed paper can hold the iron. It must come from men. The words of Ten Bears carries the same iron of life and death. It is good that warriors such as we meet in the struggle of life... or death. It shall be life."

          Craig,
          I know Ivonne has only been out for a short while but have sales been good enough so far to make the male body a possibility.

            Sales are doing well but I've got three other projects I'm currently working on that are taking priority over the male body. One is new heads for the female body, the second is the 3.75" Six Million Dollar Man action figure line, and the third is super top secret.

                There should be a torso that accommodates classic MEGO neck pegs instead of requiring a customized to destroy vintage figures.

                Why can't you reissue the body used for the Buck Rogers figure?

                  That body design and tooling was sold on with the Buck Rogers license.

                    Unfortunately the shoulder articulation design prevents the option of making another torso that can accommodate the MEGO style neck plugs. I've tried working around the problem but it's just not possible.

                      Being the blasphemous heretic I am, I've found that you don't have to cut the whole neck plug off a Mego head to fit it onto a ZICA body.

                      Just shorten the bit past the "rim" on the plug that stops the head falling off. Is a tight fit, but it works.

                      I don't intend on selling my figures on, so I've no problem with this.

                        Thank you for the honest answer. At least you attempted to address it. I am no toy engineer so I will take your word for it!
