    There's GOT to be better female bodies....

    I appreciate the ctvt bandless bodies...but the flesh look so pale and only look good completely covered up.

    The Mego female bodies have color, but aren't very shapely...

    Mattel released Wonder Woman and Cheetah...who look good, but those stupid wobble legs ruin it...

    Are there ANY decent 7-8 inch female bodies out there?

      I keep think there must be a fashion doll that could compatibly work for Mego scale, but I have yet to find a good alternative.

      I think the Mattel body is the best of the current options. Not sure what you mean by "leg wobble"... the male body was prone to bad legs, but the Mattel female body was stable. The only real problem is that they are getting harder and harder to find at an affordable price.

        Nah, the female bodies have the same loose hips as the males.

        unless there was some running change done by Mattel I don't know about..

        They'd be absolutely perfect otherwise.

          I wish i didn't sleep on ordering the vampire bride figure from white elephant...

          They have the perfect skin tone I'm looking for... Specially Lillith. White Elephant even sells smaller feet...

          if the CTVT bodies had the same skin tone, they'd be perfect...

            I am not a fan of the "classic" CTVT bodies, male or female. I tolerate their S-type bodies.
            For female bodies, I prefer these: https://www.classictvtoys.com/8inchd...latedbody.aspx

              They are GREAT bodies, but works only if fully covered. The skin tone of the flesh and tan are too pale imo.

                Have you tried using a rit dye to change the flesh tones?

                      Ok...been looking around and came across a picture of a Breyer rider doll. I than remembered I actually purchased one YEARS ago...and it's been away in storage.

                      the body is a bit taller then a Mego female body...but I figured since I'm making Wonder Woman, she might as well be a bit taller...ya know, amazon and all that...the skin tone is a good match for the head I'm using too.

                      The joints are a bit loose, but the WW outfit actually fits ok. and the head pops on easily.

                      Lets consider this a WiP...still want to tweak it a bit.

                      But here's some poses, and WW standing next to my custom Superman.

                      I'd still like to eventually utilize the White Elephant Vampire bride body, but this will work for now.

                        Nice idea on the Breyer doll body, WW looks fine to me, maybe looks a little odd being a smidgin taller than Supes, but weren’t the original mego female bodies the same height as the male bodies anyway?
