    It's a great feeling to make money off Megos then reinvest them in your own collection!

      That is a great idea!

        lol sounds like us too. I have a small cache of flesh, clear, and g.i.d bodies.
        I've said it many times - these bodies are a game changer.

I was really looking forward to producing heads and parts for these guys. I am still going to do that but I would have been happier if the clear bodies were still available. I can buy bodies and dye/color them but cant make a regular body clear. With my whining off the table, I will say that I am very happy you guys gave us the clear bodies in the first place. I had been looking forward to them for a long time, and you guys did a great job. And, I am getting one of Dave' custom figures from the Megomeet, so that is awesome.
          That makes me think of something. Does that mean that Dave' Micronaut/ Henshin Cyborg inspired figures wont see a production run?
          We're keeping a limited supply of the clear bodies that Dave is planning to use for more custom Henshin Cyborg figures. If these see an actual production run, which they probably will, they will be cast in different color plastic. I'd hate for David to have to disassemble and paint 1000+ bodies.

          The MOQ for these bodies is typically 1000 pieces.

          Clear bodies could be offered again if the Henshin Cyborg figures get produced.

          Yes, it's possible that we might offer that type of accessory piece at some point down the road.

            I also wanted to buy a couple of extra clear bodies, but had to wait for my finances to get back up to snuff. Still, the likelihood of a line of Henshin Cyborgs (MAKE. THIS. HAPPEN!) and the possibility of more clear bodies down the line helps.

            Hope one of the future clear bodies comes in purple - needs me a custom Hypnos, stat!

No signed paper can hold the iron. It must come from men. The words of Ten Bears carries the same iron of life and death. It is good that warriors such as we meet in the struggle of life... or death. It shall be life."

                I'm shocked you are out of the clams. Based on your inventory at the Meet you had enough to build a small, crystal clear house. It's cool those are made domestically now. I'll have to check back for availability.
                I almost had a psychic girlfriend but she dumped me before we met.

                If anyone here believes in psychokinesis, please raise my hand.

                  Whew, thanks for the answers, Craig, much appreciated. Nice to know there are more translucent, clear guys in the pipeline, and potentially the opportunity to get more clear bodies from the store in the future. Kind of disappointed that the ones you had on hand required discounting in order to move the rest of the stock, though. Hopefully they weren't a money loser for you guys.

                    Actually just the opposite... They sold really well, but we know*they would eventually slow down... we had a limited stock left over from the KS, and knew making 1000 more would make a slow recoup. The $5 price tag was to give on line folks the same price as MM attendees, at that price the rest of the stock flew out the door. You'll see them again, mostly because the HENSHIN project proved to have legs, and because I selfishly LOVE them

                      Awesome! Of course, it would need a different name...

                          I have to say I'm surprised to hear you had inventory left from the Meet. I showed up for the last few hours Saturday and never ran into you guys at your table, so I had no clue outside the parts bin and the older CAW bodies as to what were protos and what was for sale. I even circled back when everyone started packing up and gave a fiver to Austin. The only Type S looked to be display pieces.

                              If not bodies, what about some runs of colored hands, is that more feasible?

                              Red--as Player suggested, white, glow would be great for monster customs, etc.
                              WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.
