Question in customizing 101

[batman5]

Hey gang - brand new here and new to the world of customizing in the 1:8 scale. I was wondering if you guys could provide the new guy a crash course of the resources that I have to use in this scale. For instance what is the best body on the market, best place to buy heads etc. Thanks for the help

Now...assembling Custom Bodies can get expensive. But a quality 8" scale Body with lots of articulation(Beefed up Shoulders & swivel Biceps)...would be Cast-A-Way Toys(they also have Booots, Gloves & accessories).:
