            Well done, Craig and David, and looking forward to the colored bodies.

            Any word on the muscle and skinny torsos? Hoping a type 1 torso would be in the works.

                That's the plan... we are shooting for compatability in the extreme...

                      Sweet Jesus. That is perfect. EVERY retro-Mego that counts is getting this new body. EVERY-ONE-OF-THEM. Great prices too!! Any possiblity you will offer a bulk purchase option like a case of them? I would be a serious buyer on that scale. THIS is what I've been wanting and now I can finally fix any figure I want to operate in the fashion they always should have. FANTASTIC WORK guys!! It takes everything I LOVED about that original Zica body along with the engineering updates on the new female body and wraps all of it into a classic Mego form. Without question a historical moment in Mego history. Once again, the bar is raised.

                        Not sure what those are but we will be offering snap on shoes/boots, same as what you see on some 1/6 scale figures.

                        Thanks Tom, and the bulk purchase option is definitely something we want to offer.

                          Hmmm....kind of like the FTC new Batman and Robin gloves, which have a post inside them then. That sounds like a good option for boots and shoes. At least this way, the foot doesn't come off INSIDE the boot/shoe when you're removing it. Just pop out the post and put a new one in.

                          Although, that may be a problem if the figure is wearing a full bodysuit with feet; you might need to have footless bodysuits made, but Dave had excellent ones at his old store.

                          Still, I LOVE the older boots that Dave made, especially the soft rubber pirate boots. Those were GREAT! They could be dyed, covered with glue and flocked to mimic suede, and I find that they fit Yvonne easily!

                            sculpted boots that have a joint built in that plug into the leg.

                              Yeah, that type of boot design would be good too. If the bodies sell well the accessory pieces like this will start coming sooner than later.

                                Awesome news. I hope you guys will have that option available when the bodies are ready. That's the route I will go.
