    Muscle Bodies

    Does anyone know if Dr Mego of FTC have any plans to redo the muscle body? Possibly make it a little taller? I would like to have a Hulk figure that is not shorter than Captain America. I started wondering about this because I got a really nice Thanos head off of eBay. He is another character that could benefit from a heightened muscle body. Not sure I even want to start this custom with such a short body. Thanks

    Doc Mego already makes a taller muscle body. Looks like it only comes in white though. FTC's muscle body is the same height as the old Mego body.

      I wish you could get these in flesh tone WITHOUT the skinny legs.

        Doc was practically giving these away at the meet so this is probably the only run we'll see. If they were different colors he would have had a homerun.

            Only the arms and legs will dye. Great for suited figures. I've done quite a few, your Thanos should be fine that size in white.

                You can find green vinyl paint online, and paint the whole thing.
                Doc sells Hulk pants now too.

                  the torso does take dye but not as well. it would probably be better to take the body apart and soak the torso longer than the arms and legs
