Diamond Select Toys Retro Figure from The Expendables

[pmwasson]

Welcome aboard Zach!

Any information about what figures are being considered for the Zica body? Is the Buck Rogers line continuing?

Thanks!

In order to avoid confusion - we should stop calling it a Zica body - since
Craig is not involved with it. Call it the DST body.

If Craig is involved in it or not I still think every one will still consider it and call it the Zica body and rightfully so. Craig included members of this board on the design and production of his body from day one and we all enjoyed seeing it from the beginning to the end product.

Whatever you call it, looks pretty cool to me. I'd love to see a license I could spend some money on, though.

I'd like to let everyone know that the deal with Diamond has not been finalized, it's still pending. Once Diamond tells me we're good to go and I receive a check you can call the body whatever you want. Until that time, it's a ZICA body.

Craig is showing a new male body in progress - that is the male ZICA body.

The body in progress is the ZICA male body v.2. The body that's being used for the Expendables prototype is the ZICA male body v.1. If Diamond buys my tooling it can be referred to as the DST male body v.2, or whatever they feel would be appropriate.

I think I have exhausted my knowledge on the subject. It's all fairly new to me. At some point, I may need to help name the non-retro line, but that's all I know.

Craig, great to meet you, and may I just say, I love your body?

So Diamond jumped the gun by using what is still yours in displays at Toyfair?

Hi Zach, great to meet you too and I'm glad to know you're impressed with the body. I really hope the deal goes through so you can use it for more projects other than the Buck Rogers line.

I guess you could say that but the deal to buy the tooling was already in the works which is why I didn't see a problem with it. I'm sure they were simply trying to gauge interest in the Expendables prototype to see if they would have another use for the body.

Zype 2.

Zype 2.

That is the perfect name!
