Doc Mego Muscle body

[Type Two]

I know someone that scored that at the Meet.

I know someone who just ordered a few earlier today...

ME!

^Duh! Just noticed it on your site

Doc, can you tell us about the legs? Will they be lengthened in the ankle area, have articulated feet, or be straight repros?

(I'm assuming the arms will have articulated hands like Brock?)

It's white because that is the best base color - I could think of at least 5 characters
off the top of my head that would be in white with that body - and if you want
to paint it, white is best.

The torso is ABS which can work with any paint. The arms and legs are PVC so
you should go with a water-based paint or it may stay sticky to the touch.

Ritt fabric dye in a pot on the stove will absorb best into the arms and legs
but I have not had a chance to experiment.

Question - I'm assuming it's white because there is a basic technique to color it to your liking? Do you just dip it in your standard dye for desired body tone? Nice body, but I'm curious as to that coloring technique.

Doc left one of the T2 Swivel Biceps at the MegoSuite Saturday night. I was quicker than the other vultures. Gave it a good look-see when I got home, and I can tell you in full confidence that the quality is superb, and you will not be disappointed putting these in your collection.

Thanks a million Paul. Very cool of you.

[SeattleEd]

Thank you, again.

They are now available on drmego.com - come and get it!

How do the swivel bodies differ from what castaway has already put out?

Any word on whether the Hulk body will be sold in different colors (flesh tone, etc)? I seem to recall mention of selling it white so we'd have to dye it ourselves.

You'll really have to compare them in photos, but Docs arms are more visually pleasing and they are more muscular. Look at the Flash Gordon from BBP, those are the same arms, so you can have your figures wear sleeveless shirts and they just look better.

I tried to buy one from Doc but he told me to be patient in NY language LOL you know what that is Doc LOL. I thought they were very well built and felt better than the castaway bodies, like more solid. I really like the muscle body too and can't wait for Doc to release that as well.

They hit very close to Doc leaving for WV so he only brought what he could squeeze into the suitcase. His other stuff had already departed via Stabilio Express. They are in but need to be added to the site for ordering. Just stay tuned they'll be there I'm sure. They are awesome. Had stuff waiting to go on the extended Hulk body since I heard they were in the works. The swivel bodies are a great combination of original Mego and the LJN swivel arms.

Saw BOTH bodies and I must say they are quite impressive. I snagged 2 of the type2 with LJN arms and they are fantastic!

"Type 2 with LJN arms." I really like that description. That's pretty appropriate. My siblings and I had pretty much all the LJN Rookies and SWAT figures when I was really, really young. We even had the SWAT van! I remember comparing one of the bodies to a MEGO Type 2 and thinking, "These are awesome! Almost as good as a MEGO. But it would really be cool if they were combined somehow."

Can't wait to get these... I have at least a half dozen characters I want to do as soon as I can get my hands on the muscle-body. Some great improvements from the original Hulk body as well. Love the jointed wrists and ankles, as well as the gripping hand.

Will there be an option of purchasing right-fist hands and left gripping hands? (I think the bodies we saw came with a left fist hand and right gripping hand?)
