I just compared my vintage Dinah body (with CTVT repro black haired girl head), and the ZICA head is waaaay smaller!
The bodies are just about the same height, as they stand shoulder to shoulder very well.
I haven't taken any measurements yet, but that's for later.
But that head is TEENY! It's only about three inches in diameter, whereas the repro head is five inches, and a vintage Dinah head is four inches.
Methinks they let the head shrink too much at the factory, Craig.
That might be true but to me the size of the head looks fine. However, if I start getting a lot of negative feedback on this issue I'll take steps to have it fixed on future productions.
I don't mind the size of her head as I always thought the Mego women had balloon heads. I want to make some customs with masks / helmets and the smaller head will make it easier.
WOW!! Amazing Figure!! Received mine today!! And Really Love the work you put into her!! Personally I Prefer the Head she has on now!! Going to give my customs a more realistic look, I never really cared for the Bobble Head Look! Liked her so much! I placed an order for two more!!
I just have to put in an unsolicited plug for those Mego stands- they are top shelf! Absolutely professional, well finished- just amazing- I bought a set of 6 and will be buying more in the future- I can't imagine a better stand for 8' figures!

I agree. It's not that this figure's head is too small, it's that the female Mego heads were always (way) too big....I'm happy with the size...I just want some variety.
I got mine today. My impressions: I am blown away by how nice these are! Everything has a nice feel to it. She does not feel cheap or flimsy. I have not tried to swap out parts yet, but the extra hands are nice and the bust parts are a great idea. I am already looking for characters to make using this body and what size bust they need! I think the body has nice proportions to it including the head and face. The head does seem a bit small, mostly in comparison to the Mego melon! I would almost recommend to Craig to consider making the head a tad bigger on future runs if only so it won't be so noticeable when on display with other Mego's! With that said, it is by no means a fatal flaw! Mego male heads tend to vary in scale, so now we just have the female equivalent of a Bruce Wayne head in comparison to a Starbuck head! One thing I was happy with was the facial expression. In the early pics, I thought she looked a bit peeved. I think she looks more mood neutral in person.
I look forward to finishing a custom with this body. I have been way busy lately, but I will have to find some time! There is now a female body we can use for customs that really works! Thank you Craig!
I can't wait to get the two I ordered. Any idea when the rest of the orders will be arriving?
If your order was one that got filled from this first case you should have it no later than tomorrow. The remaining cases aren't expected to arrive until the end of this month, maybe a little later. Once I receive those I'll start filling orders again ASAP.
