    I just don't trust FTC bodies. I bought 20 Zica type Z bodies and I'm switching all my FTC figures onto them. The type Z body is awesome by the way.

    If it broke at the hook, check with MIB41, he had a solution to fix it.

    Sorry to hear that. I'm sure that's a real pain in the neck.

    At least, it seems to be an isolated incident.

    then use the Zica hand pegs and swap the Foot ball joint from the FTC body onto that peg (using the same pins)...then take a hair dryer and heat up the bottom of the Zica legs and push the hand pegs right into the feet...and wah-lah! you have the exact same set-up as the FTC body
    Thanks I'll give it a shot.

    I lied about the not buying these, for my own personal interests.
    I want these so bad that I'm aiming for this weekend to have the money ready.
    So, everyone who wants to ask; "Why should I have to trade/custom bodies and heads?", don't buy them. I need more time!

    they converted very easy...heads fitted perfect

    Gloves are soft plastic and pop off awesomely

    I did do a little modifying, but it was a piece of cake.I swapped parts using the very pieces from both bodies.I used the Zica hand pegs for the feet attachments and re-attaching the ball-joint.The Hair dryer works wonders in putting in the pegs too by heating the plastic for easy transfer

    I removed the ball joints from the FTC arms and super glued them right into the Zica Arms with ease...worked perfectly and they are now snug...the gloves just snap right on!

    I gotta say these are the best Mego's of the year for right now...FTC did an outstanding jobs with the costumes and head sculpts.Excellent paint jobs aswell
