ZICA Female Body Prototype

Darn! For a minute I thought that the production sample had come early.

Such a tease! I thought the same thing. Now you have to sell them to us.

I can't keep quiet anymore!

Any news at all Craig?

According to my most recent update the molds are still being tweaked because the engineer saw a few things he wasn't happy with. I've seen pictures of the painted head with rooted hair and was very pleased with how nice it looked. Hopefully it won't be too much longer and I'll actually have a production sample in hand so I can post some pics and start taking preorders.

Don't rush it, reworks mean quality.

Happy to hear this, can't wait to get these and start doing some customs.

Re: boots.

Maybe you can duplicate the Mego flat heeled pirate boots, seeing as how Doc has a lock on the high heeled version.

Any boots or shoes made for the body will basically follow the same design as what's commonly used for 1/6 scale figures. The foot section of the boot or shoe will be solid, not hollow, with a small hole inside. An ankle post will be inserted into that hole so that the boot/shoe stays on. This will allow for much more accurate proportions with any footwear so that it doesn't look too big or bulky.

Ooohhhhh! Sounds great! Same thing for the male figure?

Yep!

[JediJaida]

SWEET!!!

That way, the foot won't come off inside the shoe/boot if it's pulled off. It'll just come off at the ankle.

I'm REALLY looking forward to seeing where you go with your figures and accessories

Once the bodies are available I'm planning on trying to get some boots and bodysuits made to start things off.

Fantastic! I can see I'm going to be stocking up once you do.

What sort of price point do you have in mind for boots and bodysuits?

I won't know until I actually start the process of getting them prototyped but I'm going to try and keep the prices in the same ballpark as what's currently available from other companies.

I hope you consider themed outfits along the lines of Triad in 1/9 scale
