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."

plenty available

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.

you can use glue or even blue tack...they sit in with little snug in the Type S arms,by glueing or even using tape makes them snug.

The swapping of Batman and Robin is VERY easy...just pop out those pins and reuse parts....the Zica hand pegs can be inserted into the legs after heating them up with a hair dryer...attach the ball joint to the Zica hand peg and insert into the feet

the hand ball joints can be removed from the FTC body and then inserted into the Zica forearms...I used super glue and it works awesome! or you can go blue tack/tape...whatever your preference

Oh OK. Many Thanks, Teemu. Sorry, I was getting confused about the ZICA body, that came out a while back, and the current Type S (aka "Zicaway") body made by both Caste-Away and ZICA.

The hole for the foot is kinda' small in relation to the hand peg. I guess that is why you mentioned it needs to be heated. Thanks for the clarification and your information again Teemu.

no problem...just heat the castaway bottom legs with the hairdryer and the hand pegs will slide in with a nice push...they will be nice and snug but you will have mimicked the FTC body setup

I dressed my Batman/Robin first before I heated the holes in the legs in case the suit didn't safely slide over the ball joint peg

Here's my set with a guest star. These are great figures. Batman's belt could be a bit more loose. robin's cape collar could be better, but those are minor quibbles.

Love Batman's cape. FTC needs to carry the wire over into all future caped figures. gloves and boots are a Tremendous advancement over old mego. Love the Full green shirt for Joker. sculpts are really nice. flesh tone could be better, but again. I am very pleased wit these figures.

[MEMEGO]

How did you extend the belts? I like to do same rto mine.

[madmarva]

I just slowly worked the batman belt down to the top of the trunks. The figure on the far right is a doc Mego body and belt. The Doc Mego belt is longer.

Much as I love to criticize CTVT figures, what is the point? These are not CTVT figures anymore.
These are actually good figures. Any complaints are purely marginal.
The bodies are much better than Kiss Bodies. The hands are still a tad small. (especially gloved hands)
But if you wanted to, you could make amazing gauntlets out of them, so there are always options.

I replaced Riddler's dark glove hands with the lighter purple glove hands (same mold, sold on the website) that actually match his outfit. Joker's head is a tad small. Bats & Robin's heads a tad big,
I hate to say it, but try as I might to find something, nothing is wrong with these figures. They are pretty awesome.
The quality is so far beyond Mego, that what can I really say? Not like the problems of the CTVT figures. These bodies are seriously 'not bad'. Do I LOVE the bodies. No. But I can honestly say, the bodies are good enough to leave the figures on without dropping additional $$$ for body swapping. Robin I switched out a few body parts (like a kiss torso) and different legs to shrink him down a bit. Still working on Bats. But customizing is not really NECESSARY at all. One thing to say - that doublesided tape on the gloves is 100% necessary. I fear the dog will be running off with Bat Gloves & boots. No need to heat anything to pop off the gloves & boots. Maybe I wish there were more VINYL parts instead of all the micro-thin rubber pieces. I would have gone into more detail for this post, but on the same day, I also received a package from Hawkmike of custom outfits so amazing my jaw was on the floor. I am still seeing stars and it really threw me off. I will take pix of the batman items when I can pull myself together and post soon.

Madmarva, I really like your "Special Guest Hero" figure. Great job on it.

Madmarva, I really like your "Special Guest Hero" figure. Great job on it.

Seconded! That's a figure I reeeeealy want. And the red/green/yellow outfit, and Helena Wayne Huntress, and.....

[madmarva]

Brian Leitner made the suit. The head is a shrink of the 9" Green Lantern figure that came out around the same time as Famous Covers figured

[Brown Bear]

I received mine today and was over the moon!! These might just be my favorite mego's in my entire collection and that's not exaggerating. These guys are frakin' amazing!! In my opinion they beat the Holy hell out of any re-mego thus far, and that's sayin' something 'cause there's been some doozy's.

For the most part I am happy with my set as well. Just 2 minor complaints:
Batman' utility belt is very high (chest area rather than waist)
Robin's tights not pulled all way to feet.

I keep my collection in their boxes so those minor issues were a little disappointing. That said, they are fantastic and so incredibly detailed. Must have Catwoman and Batgirl. We know waves 2 & 3 so would wave 4 be earliest for those?
