    $25.00 isn't TOO bad.

    Maybe we can get a bit of a discount if we buy in bulk. Like say buy three or more and get five bucks off.

      After shipping it will be over 30 a pop.

        Just an FYI, if you bought a female body, 2 sets of hands, and a head with rooted hair from one of the other companies that makes 8" figures the total comes to $27.00. This is for a vintage style body with limited articulation. The body I'm developing has a modern design, vastly improved articulation and also comes with extra torso pieces for more customizing options. Taking that into consideration I think $25.00 sounds like a fair price.

          I wouldn't buy those either, vintage Mego ladies stink. The rooted hair thing if its only one color is going to limit sales, too. I can reroot, but I doubt a lot of people can do it. I just have a hard time justifying spending that much on just a nekkid body.

            When you think about it, isn't DST going to be selling their line in the range of $40.00 and up? Tack on shipping and we're talking close to $50.00 for just ONE FIGURE!

            Compared to that, $25.00 per bod is considerably cheaper.

            Besides, as word gets around, and sales start to move, the price might go down to something like $20.00.

              Price seems more than fair to me considering all the bells and whistles these figures will pack. I'm down for at least 4 if they're just black haired this time around, probably more if different hair colors are available.

It shall be life."

                  How about the option of a body without extra heads and head for $15? $25 (even with all you get) is a bit much for most of your potential customers to handle paying more than once.

                    At some point I might consider that option but just starting out I want to keep things simple and only offer the one package, which is the complete body with the head and extra parts.

                      Yes; simplicity is a good thing. Keep it as simple as possible.

                        it would be a good move to do a headless body, too. I have more than a few resin heads that can go on a decent body. I will just have a real hard time paying over 30 shipped on these. I can't really pull the trigger on any sort of Mego sized figure for over 20. One of the reasons I don't have Buck and Tiger Man along with really not liking the show to begin with.

                          Hey Craig, I just had a thought.

                          How easy will it be to pop off the head and give it a reroot (if a person is so inclined?)

                          Will the head operate on a peg system like the limbs?

                            The head is designed to be removable and will either attach via a ball and socket type connector or something similar to the image below.
