CTVT Bodies...

[livnxxxl]

That was my confusion...I needed 6 inch and 5 inch bodies, so when folks were talking about the swivel arm body, I thought it was a 6 inch body and I had made the wrong choice buying the CTVT 6 inch body. I guess I'm okay then, thanks Livnxxl.

Dana

Your welcome Dana. I am glad that I could clarify that for you and get your thread back on track again.

I'm now wondering if Doc's swivel-arm, buff body is a better choice for my Warduke custom (who needs a more buff torso than the normal 8 inch Mego-esque body)...Any thoughts?

Dana, I think that the original topic went a stray. You were inquiring about a shorter body and as the thread went on it some how grew a couple of inches.

[livnxxxl]

Ok...So is the swivel arm body a 6 inch body?

Dana

No, The swivel arm body is an 8" body.

[danadoll]

Doc's bodies are the way to go by far. Doc's bodies are far more superior than CTVT bodies and you get swivel arms as another bonus.

I do not know what has got into CTVT with their price increase on their bodies and other stuff. Maybe they are trying to help pay for the out rageous licensing fee they paid Gene. IF that is the case they are certainly going about it the wrong way.

ctvt male flesh body is $6.00

Doc's swivel bicep body is on sale for $5.00

It is a no brainer if you ask me.

Uh...I'm afraid I don't understand.

I agree. I can restring their bodies so that I'm happy with them, but there's no reason to even bother unless the need is for a color that Doc doesn't offer. His new bodies are a STEAL at $5 a pop.

WORD!!

So, I got a CTVT 6 inch body and it's great. I ended up going with Doc Mego for the 5 inch kid bodies, though (his price was just slightly lower)...Doc's bodies are fantastic too.

I'm very happy with both smaller bodies.

given our choices (Drmego, Zica, Castaways, CTVT) they are the lesser quality bodies. They seem to be inferior materials and manufactured "quicker".
But, they are cheap.
Any CTVT body should probably be restrung to relieve the stress and "I gotta pee" stance. Maybe a little film of glue in the hip joints to help articulation afterwards.

See, I go and say that and whammo one of my ctvt bodies that I am about to use for a custom has a forearm shatter. It was a kid body.

Hmmmm....

I've got a few of both, and they're not bad. The kid ones needed a bit of flash scraped, but they're usable.

The child bodies aren't bad, the Titans size are mostly ok, I've gotten one or two that have pee pee stance problems.

LOL! I hear you...Some of my Space:1999 figures have the "I've really gotta go" stance. Thank you, Thunderbolt.
