      Another vote for FEMALE for me! There has NEVER been a good Mego scale female body mass produced, so you'd be the first person to make one. I'm dying to see the head with hair(please no Mego Barbie Doll look).

        Add me to the list of those who vote FEMALE. Tons of characters I want to make, just need that new Female body of yours to do 'em right. I can wait awhile for the Male bodies to become available.

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."

          I'd pick one male and one female, and let them reproduce...

          Aaargh, the agony of choice!
          OK, female!

            How many votes are you looking for Craig?

            Maybe you should make this a poll or something.

              I'm not really looking for a specific number of votes, just mainly opinions on why one or the other body should be made first. I thought about doing a poll but I didn't see an option for it on the board.

                In the long term you'll sell many more male bodies. However, there's probably more pent up demand in the short term for the female . Whether that's enough to make it worth your while will be something you'll need to determine based upon your cost structure.

                  I would say female.
                  Just as long as the Mego female heads would fit on them.
                  Then, I would finally do a custom Power Girl, with those interchangeable chest sizes!
                  Heck, I might give 'em all big boobs just like in the comics!

                    The Mego female heads won't fit this body. When it's initially released people are going to have to be creative with the head that comes with the body.

                      I want to second what Boss said. I really would love to have the female body. I have so many female characters that would look great with this body. However, I do far more male customs than female, so in the long run I would use more of the male bodies for sure! (Based on what I have seen, I am wanting to use the Zica bodies as my exclusive custom body - they are simply fantastic looking!!!) I am also going to say that I am running low on my stock of both male and female bodies, so hurry up already!!

                        Female, you'd have the market cornered for actual good mego scale female bodies.

                          Especially with only two other choices on the market: namely Doc's female body, and CTVT's.

                          Doc's got some good merchandise; really good quality as to the plastic, and construction.

                          CTVT, is cheap (or should that be cheep?) junk that splits, breaks and chips.

                          Castaway has never made any (and they never answered my question as to whether or not they were going to make one).

                          So, you are the best bet for an alternative female body.

                          We all know your stuff is high quality, in the materials and construction. Your prices are more than reasonable, and even with the increase for the packaging, it isn't going to be TOO hard on the pocketbook.

                          (I have a jar full of quarters that can go to buying these girlies with no problem. Although I will deposit them in my checking account beforehand.)

                          I know that I have been a pain in the patoot about this; a real BIG pain at that, but I really, REALLY believe in this product, and want to see it succeed.

                          Well, that and get my greedy paws on it.

                              Female all the way. While Doc's are nice and i use canon fodder from the mego lines, we really need a female figure who can show off her belly without seeing the ball there in the middle. Too many modern characters show off thier mid-riffs and that ball doesn't look good. and we need the varied breast sizes as well.

                                Given that both doc's and CTVT's are repros of the sucktacular Mego figure, ZICA would be the only alternative to that terrible design.
