    Yes, the arms have a bicep swivel.

      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.
      Happy to hear!!! Look forward to see what Z-bodies has planned in the future!!

        these will be perfect for super joe customs as this body looks like it ruled with a kung fu grip in a previous life.

        Love the body will definitley buy a few dozen when they become available.

        Thanks for giving us more options.

          Hi Zica,

          I can't wait for your new bodies to become available. Are the hands interchangeable with Emcee, CasteAway figures?

            No, they're not interchangeable. I tested them on an original MEGO body and found that the wrist posts are too narrow to fit securely in the arm hole.

                          They're not here yet but they will definitely be arriving this month. The first order is relatively small and I'm having them shipped in via airmail instead of surface so they should arrive fairly quick.

                              U folks r gonna have a lot of angry wanna be customers then. I hope to be able to get at least one body before they sell out. Are the suits and accessories going to be available too?

                              Thank you Zica again for your replies and updates on this board.

                                The first shipment should be large enough to cover most or all initial orders so don't start gathering the pitchforks and torches just yet. Suits and accessories won't be available when the bodies launch. I've got my hands full with the Buck Rogers project and I want to have it finished before I start sending more stuff to the factory.
