    What is the best "muscular" body to use?

    The next 2 customs i am planning on working on need to be on muscular bodies. What is the best 1/9 body available for this look? Are they readily available anywhere? Thanks.

    Edit: Also looking for the best place to buy weapons in Mego scale as well. Needing a variety of stuff from guns to knives to hand grenades.

    Hmmmm....

    There are a few really good ones out there. I've used a custom He-Man torso for a few, with regular T2 limbs. It looks pretty good: the character seems lean and sleek, and taller. BUt it's not the full-on bodybuilder kind of look.

    >looking for the best place to buy weapons in Mego scale as well.

    I got a bunch of weapons:

    weapons - Mego Talk
    weapons too.... - Mego Talk

    There are a few more in the works right now. I should have pics soon; when I get the AC adapter for my camera.

          I concur. Very great figure. Do you have more?

            Hey Boss! Did you ever do a female figure? I know that you did a thinner one, and I vaguely remember a transparent one (was that yours?), but I don't think you ever made a female figure.

                Craig's ZICA figures come close, but they aren't that buff.

                    I'd like to get the transparent one he had a while back too.

                      Another option are the UFC bodies. You have to make some modifications but they are very detailed and the right scale.

                        I can agree with this. I used John Cena chest and arms. A classic Mego pelvis and Retro Action hero legs. The only thing is the neck needs grind out to accept a Mego type head.

                          My Mattel RA Superman got upgraded to one of these, and we're both happier for it.

                              I made about 30-35 of those last year.
