      You were expecting an 8 inch Barbie???

      Complete with phoney baloney blonde hair???

      Maybe in a year, if this one sells well.

      You can always reroot it, if you really want to.

        Any plans for it headless? Seems like a lot of people will use custom heads and or reroot this one. One hair color is sort of limiting to customizers.

          Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but frankly... this one shocks me.

            Currently there are no plans to sell the body headless. If this first edition sells well enough it will be released again with a different hair color.

              Me too.

              She's absolutely gorgeous the way she is.

              One thing we don't need is another doll/action figure with a Stepford smile on it's face a la Barbie, or the rictus/constipated expression of that other line (not Playmates, the one that did Black Widow and Phoenix, I can't remember the name!)

              The expression is calm, cool and poised. In other words, perfect.

              Aha! Now I remember the name!

              It was Famous Covers, and nearly all of their female figures had that same constipated expression on their faces.

              Not very attractive.

                I really think you should do a headless run, a sort of no frills option for the customizers who don't care about the included head or packaging. I'm assuming that would cut the price point and move more figures.

                  There's always the option to sell the head if you don't need it. I feel like there will probably be people who may want an extra one to try some customizing on without having to buy a whole new body. As for eliminating the packaging to help reduce the cost, the type of packaging I've chosen adds very little to the overall cost of the item.

                    Hey Craig - Can you post a picture of the neck hole on the head, and can you show what would be entailed to put a Mego-esque head on the body? I'm trying to see how hard it would be to swap a Doc Supergirl head or an FC head on to your body.

                        No need to get so defensive. I know how much you worship Craig...but I wasn't being mean, just asking a question. I used the word pretty and to you it = Barbie? I don't want to see a Barbie head sculpt or a Mego Supergirl, or Dinamite. But since Zica used the Cygirls as "just" an example for his poll...I thought the heads would at least look similar. Not "Barbie like" but beautiful none the less.
                        The only custom I can see in that head sculpt is Big Barda. She's not pretty enough to be Wonder Woman.

                        Also, Craig said these were still being "tweaked"...so I figured now was the time to speak up.

                          Here's a close-up pic of the head's neck socket. Based on what I know I don't think it will be possible to use female MEGO heads on the body. I'm not sure about the FC heads because I've never seen a loose one.

                          This is the final version of the head and I'm very happy with it. She's plenty pretty enough for me.

                              Thanks Craig. I'm thinking Spider-woman.

                                I don't think there's any need to get snotty here. Craig's going out on a limb making these bodies, and he has to make the ultimate decisions ('cuz it's his money). I guarantee there is nothing he could do that will make us ALL happy. I'm sure if anyone wants to donate a few thousand dollars for a new head mold, he'll consider the offer.
