My Joker and Riddler arrived today. One small bummer--I bought the Joker figure just for the outfit and I intended to use it with my repro Mego Joker head. It all works fine when put together on a Zica Type Z body except for one thing: the Mego Joker sculpt gave us a super long chin like the character was depicted in the comics, but the chin goes pretty much all the way down to the base of the neck. The upshot is that with the '66 outfit, my Joker looks like his shirt collar is buttoned up to his chin. Unaviodable if I'm going to use that collared shirt, but it's too nice an outfit ensemble to break up. As for Riddler I'm keeping him intact (other than moving him to a type Z body), as I love the headsculpt--it's a great generic Riddler face. The Mego Riddler was great in a thuggish way, but this Riddler really looks like a guy who's obsessed with puzzles. I have a pair of purple shoes on order for him, as I don't care for the way he looks with the black ones.Comment

then use the Zica hand pegs and swap the Feet 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 bodyComment

converting is simple....the ball joints from the hands on the forearm,use a hair dryer to remove them and pull them out of the FTC body.then carefully superglue them (with the ball out far enough to attach) into the Zica forearms...they sit in there perfectly
then use the Zica hand pegs and swap the Feet 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
Many thanks for posting this. I never would have figured this one out. My only problem is that the ZICA body is no longer available.
Conversion to the "Zicaway" (Type S) body is limited due to the FTC leg pegs that attaches to the boot. I really wished FTC would have made "mego-like" boots instead. Thus, conversion to the "Zicaway" body would have been a snap. Just FYI. The Joker converted to the Zicaway body very easily. No can do for Batman and Robin.
Another FYI: On the "Zicaway" body, the wrist peg issue can be resolved without any glue. Just cut a lil' piece of the twisty tie and drop it into the wrist peg opening so the FTC plug do "fall" all of the way into the wrist hole. The ball part of the plug should now sit out enough so Batman's and Robin's gloves can be attached. If anyone can figure how to attached Batman's and Robin's foot (boots) to the leg, please post. Thanks.Comment

I think you replied to someone explaining just how to do the Batman legs, "then use the Zica hand pegs and swap the Feet 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..."My posts were needlessly deleted ...Comment

The problem is the ZICA body is no longer available. What about those who do not have a ZICA body?
Oh sorry, I meant to write, "Just cut a lil' piece of the twisty tie and drop it into the wrist peg opening so the FTC plug do NOT "fall" all of the way into the wrist hole."Comment
