      Very Nice!! Look forward to buying some bodies! Any chance of adding a joint to the mid section, ala the DCUC figures, so the figure has better range of motion?

        At some point down the road that type of revision could be made to the body. It really all depends on how many complaints I get from the body not having that particular type of articulation.

          I'll complain now if it helps get more articulation! Waist articulation is lacking in so many figures, please add it.

            I would vote for articulation on the waist. Better to pose.

              Really like the look of Captain Kirk with your body, look forward to the release! You have a very Nice Product and I'm sure it's going to sell like Hotcakes when their finally available! but, I would love that you did make this Revision! With all the 8" figures coming out and the love for the DCUC Articulation, I'm sure you would have the adoration of many people here, including myself, if you did make this happen!

                  Don't know if this has been asked, and sorry for being such a pain, but, any chance of making different size bodies in the future? Larger frame bodies for Thor, type figures and Smaller frame bodies for Teen Titan type figures? Once again, I apologize for all the questions, but, I see endless possibilities in the 8"inch world of customizing once your Z-bodies are released! and if you should decide to add the extra articulation to the mid-section, It would be very much appreciated!!

                    Depending on the project there's always the chance a new body design could get made. For example, I need a female body for the next Buck Rogers series because it includes two female characters. Same goes for revisions. If I see a need for it I'll try my best to make it happen.

                    There's a lot of ideas being tossed around behind the scenes with two other companies I'm working with and the 8" action figure market is definitely getting some attention in those conversations.

                      That's the one glaring problem with these bodies, and I really don't get why a simple ball type waist douldn't be done. Is there a waist rotation at least or is the torso all one piece?

                        Yes, there's rotation at the waist.

                          For years I've had a George Reeves Superman head that is just a little oversized. I think this head is going to be perfect for your slightly larger Mego-esque body.
                          If a Mego figure of God did not exist, it would be necessary for EMCE to invent him.

                                Curious, do the arms have a bicep swivel? I can't really tell. The bicep or upper arm swivel is one of the key parts of the Cast-a-way body that I love. That was one of my biggest disappointments with the Mattel body. Seems like that's a natural point of articulation to add to these figures.
