    It's noticeably smaller but apparently not so much that the clothing won't fit. I'll get a comparison pic posted tomorrow. If we can push the factory to make the needed changes fairly quick I feel like we could have them available by the end of February. The factory we're using for the bodies does fantastic work but they're not the fastest bunch.
    How will these be made available--preordered on the site?
    WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.

      Looks ok, I guess... if you like that sort of thing.

            That's awesome. That's exactly what I will do with mine.

              Took no time at all. I just raised the arms up and balanced the figure to stand, that's it.

              That is a nice upgrade. The Riddler' outfit is quite baggy so I would love to see that costume on the new body. There was a picture with someone that had taken the suits and heads and put them on Doc' muscle body, and I thought they still looked quite loose. Is the S Body larger than Docs? Looks great with the Batman costume on.
              The Type S body is slightly taller than Doc MEGO's repro body as you can see in the image below.

              Once the bodies are in our warehouse and ready to ship they'll be added to the 8" Super Store website.


              Here is a comparison shot of the bodies, and just for fun I included the Batman heads. I don't have an original Type 2 body to compare (all mine went to China) but according to David a Type 2 body is slightly taller than the current crop of available reproduction bodies. He'll have a sample in hand soon so hopefully he can post a comparison pic of the Type S and Type 2 bodies.

                    Does the belt fit better around the waist on that body?

                      I think I know what bodies I'll be using to replace any FTC messed up ones. Plus they're a great Mego flesh tone.

                          It still wants to ride up a little bit so I had to work with it some.

                              What a size diff in the heads.
                              Body looks great,only thing I see is less muscle definition on the torso.
                              also no wrist pins.
                              Really looking forward to these bodies.
                              Congrats on the next step in playability!!!

                                I was thinking that the Type S body had some skinny legs, and they do look thinner than the others, but man they look nice in that Batman suit!
