        I'm offering a special deal on the preorder price which is $20.00 plus S&H. Once preorders are finished the regular retail will be $25.00 plus S&H.

        I've never attempted rerooting hair but it seems like the head is soft enough that it shouldn't be a problem. I'll ask the factory about the plastic accepting dye but the body is actually made of two types so that might present a problem. Some parts are ABS and others are PVC.

          Well, if she can't be dyed, then spray paint is always an option.

          At least for the body, if the head is of soft PVC, then maybe it can accept a dye bath after being scalped.

          Lemme see: Isis, Koriand'r, Ms. Martian, Captain Marvel (the Marvel version, not DC), all of these need different skin tones.

            One question, what is the height compared to the original Mego female body?

              I don't have an original MEGO female body to compare it to but it's pretty much the same height as the Mattel retro female body.

                  Wow, the more I look at this figure, the better I like it. I personally think the proportions on the hips look fine. I look forward to ordering some. I have a long list of female figures I want to make!

                    How long until the tweaking is done?

                    Oh, and my friends over at my doll group love her so far. They are concerned however that her head looks a bit small, and that the neck looks thick.

                    Compared to the melon heads and stick necks of original Mego, however, she looks fine.

                    Besides, if the neck looks thick, either the picture is a smidge distorted or the booby plate adds to the thickness, thus making the head look a tad small.

                    As for me, I don't really care about that. She looks perfect. Easily on a par with Jakks, Hot Toys, Enterbay, etc.

                          It would be great if you could sell this body to Biff Bang Pow. I don't have an issue with their bodies. I just want ZICA to sell as many of these as possible.
                          If a Mego figure of God did not exist, it would be necessary for EMCE to invent him.

                              That will make a great Lois Lane custom. Is that the only hair color you're doing?

                                I'm still waiting to hear back from the factory on the revisions so I'm not sure how long they will take.

                                Yes, the colors will match. That's one thing I'm a real stickler on.

                                No, I will definitely be doing more hair colors. Probably blonde, brown, and red.
