    Gauging interest - Muscle bodies

    My plan was to start cranking these out like I did a few years ago. Then I thought... that's a heck of a lot of work and I'm not sure if anyone is still interested. If you think you'd be interested in buying one of these in the next 6 months, let me know. I'm not holding anyone to anything at this point, but I need to figure out if it's worth my time to produce these puppies again. The price is $35 per body (plus shipping). LMK by responding in this thread...

          Those are works of art, almost a shame to dress them.

            Here are a few customs made from that body. They're dressed (sorry Steve).

                They can come with fists (similar, but not exactly like, the ones shown) for a couple bucks more. the hole in the forearm will except wrist pins from T-2 megos, castaway and CTVT figures if you want to use your own hands.

                  Boss, these are da bomb!

                  Makes me think of Craig's male bodies.

                  Any chance of female bodies in the future?

                    ^ thanks. I've started and stopped on a female body a couple times now. I don't think that will ever happen. For my last female figure, I cheated and put together a hybrid of the Diamond Select and Zica female body. I threw in a little clay to make her a little more shapely.

                        Are you able to cast the bodies in clear transparent or silver?

                          I have cast in clear resin before, but I currently don't have any casting material to do so. Never tried silver. The clear material really tore up my molds, so I don't think I'll be doing that again.

                            Beautiful work on the transparent bodies. Too bad the material tore up your molds.

                              Thanks. I just had some molds made that I'm not happy with, so I'm trying to figure out if I want to bother sinking a couple hundred more $ into remaking these or just cutting my losses. The damage done by the clear resin takes them completely out of the equation at this point.
